This week, we talk about whether independent comics can survive in the direct market, ie through Diamond, Lunar, etc. on comic shelves. With companies like Aftershock filing for bankruptcy, what could this mean for smaller publishers and other independents? We also discuss our thoughts on Batman/Spawn, how Marvel's Dark Web is going, the Massiveverse expanding and more.Plus, of course, Big Books, Top 5 and Most Anticipated.Check out the video version here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cp7RbGgvVwc&t=1sFind us on iTunes and leave a 5-Star Review to get it read on the show:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/comic-book-weekly/id1556983009Or http://cbwpodcast.comJoin us LIVE Tuesdays for new Video episodes on YouTube. Follow us on social @ComicFrontline and visit us at ComicFrontline.com
