ComicsPro Alters By-Laws To Discourage Members From Selling Early



The comics retailers' group ComicsPro has announced a couple of changes to its bylaws. This posts says that one area of change involves the roles of the officers in the organization, and the other has to do with discouraging members from selling ahead of those few items that Diamond ships early and gives a street date.

It's the second change that's likely more important in a general policy sense, as it seems the group will advocate for a move away from the "it doesn't hurt anybody/I'll get mine when I can because sometimes I don't get to get mine" attitude that seems to exist to significant effect in that aspect of comics distribution. Self-discipline by direct market retailers on those rare occasions they're asked to hold or return material would also likely speak to the entire group's ability to take on added responsibility were the market's major actors to go the way of, let's say, one-day-early shipping of comic books across the board. It also can't hurt if more Direct Market retailers were to get on the same page when it comes to pressing such an advantage.
