Most of my comics, I get from Monkey's Retreat, (this is in Columbus, OH,
across from a great Anime store, Neo Tokyo Int.),and they, believe it or
not, had to work thru Capital City, Diamond and Heroes World to satisfy
everybody on their list. Fortunately, they decided to continue with CC
(their original distributor) and keep the others. Marvel is a lost cause
(and I grew up reading them), and the only thing that I get from Diamond
is the manga from Dark Horse. CC, has everything else, from Antarctic
to Viz, and now are carrying manga again, such as the Ranma tankobon (#35
due out from them in Feb.) Let Marvel wallow in the mediocrity that they
have created...Manga is where it's at ;-) ! Ja ne.
