Best of luck with publication , and as an aside I can't day Diamond's move surprises me nor does it seem too out of character for them.
Through their long held monopoly they have proceeded to screw over the "little guy" and underdog countless times .
In short if Diamond doesn't like you they'll practically go out of their way to crush you so they can continue to make a quick buck...
It's the same thing they have been doing for the better parts of decades , it's well past unjust , unfair , and borderline illegal, ( note borderline sadly it's still legal...
) one thing that I would love to see in any year is the forced break on their hold over the retail comics industry...
