ComicsPro Reaches Accord With Wizard

The direct market retailer organization ComicsPro issued a release over the weekend trumpeting its accord with Wizard Entertainment about a couple of that company's magazines.
You can read the whole thing here, and I encourage you to do so.
What I find worth noting about it is that 1) sounds good, 2) by making it a point of emphasis, ComicsPro seems to want the notion out there that it works on behalf of all retailers and not just members of the advocacy group, and 3) that retailers are still living in a world with the high-level goofiness described in the issue involved. If I'm getting it right, Wizard was until this agreement allowed to ship some of its material based on one or two related factors as opposed to actual orders, which sounds positively insane. This is like finding out there's a longstanding rule whereby owners of Diamond exclusive companies are allowed to punch retailers in the stomach whenever they feel like it.
