That Sound You Heard Was Something New Snapping Into Place

There's now a devoted comics and graphic novels section at Apple's iTunes bookstore. A bunch of Marvel stuff is either driving that effort, or at least is enjoying the most concurrent publicity -- I kind of lack the context where I can tell. The $7 price point for certain collections strikes me as worthy of note there. I think it's good when there are major infrastructure-type announcements as far as the availability of this material, although I'm always a bit worried about the deals in place in terms of how this eventually rewards the creators. But we'll see as these things become the status quo. I'm also a little bit suspicious that comics have the widespread, deep-bench appeal to make for a strong category of sales as opposed to a few additional sales here and there, but that's probably just me.
