Paul Levitz’s ICv2.com Interview: We Turn Our Eyes To John Jackson Miller

Paul Levitz has one of his every-year interviews up with the comics business and news analysis site ICv2.com (one, two, three). It's the usual broad marketing-speak and thus worth reading only for the speaker's pedigree relative to, say, someone on one of DC's blogs saying the same thing -- that DC owns rights to characters that might be of interest to whatever develops as far as a mobile platform delivery service, motion comics or whatever, isn't exactly breaking news. Mr. Levitz does sound a bit feistier than usual this year, to my mind. The big story that people are no doubt picking up on on the other sites is Levitz' claim that bookstore sales' downturn are manga related and that he can actually track Watchmen fans as they head back to the store. I'm hoping that one of the comics number people out there -- like Mr. Miller -- can look at one or both of those claims and see if there's a whiff of evidence in recent numbers of either phenomenon. Did Maus really enjoy a sales bump on either side of the Watchmen movie?
