Magazine Distribution War Ends Like Many Modern Wars: With Lawsuits
There's a fine article up at the comics business news and analysis site ICv2.com that sums up a recent magazine distribution war which was more like a street fight with a lot of people looking on. Anderson News, which sought to raise the fee on monies per publication and went to the mattresses to do so, has been shut down and its primary clients are now looking to force it into a more formal bankruptcy so as to better recover money they're owed. Source Interlink has also settled a recent lawsuit. The article reports slight delays in some comics that move through those channels, but nothing major. I would imagine that the bigger concerns are slow industry decline that is slowly crushing companies and any strain put on an industry that may be historical obsolete in many ways.
