PWCW: Bookazine Targeting Comics

Publishers Weekly Comics Week reported yesterday that the distributor Bookazine has enjoyed enough success with their graphic novel category to hire John Davis (the Central Park Media John Davis, not the Capital City Distribution John Davis, at least I'm pretty sure they're different people) to create a division in their company that will specfically target indie booksellers that have yet to carry such books in a major way yet desire to do so. They also plan to target comic shops, which could be interesting news considering the trouble some of those shops have with reorders.

You can download a list of Bookazine's top-selling graphic novels here, a list almost eerily balanced between DC, Marvel, Dark Horse, Viz and Tokyopop offerings, with a smatter of big-name books from other publishers (like Scholastic's Bone). If they can actually sell Marvel's graphic novels as comparatively well as this list indicates, they may indeed bring something new to the table.
