The All Powerful Loonie

Don MacPherson over at Eye on Comics posted yesterday a bit of interesting news from the DC front. Though a number of months behind Marvel's switch, DC has decided to begin reflecting Canada's stronger dollar into their periodical comic rates, making them effectively cheaper for Canadians.

Don continues on to contemplate on a number of issues revolving around the key word 'periodical' and whether graphic novels and volume compilations will also reflect the stronger buying power of the loonie.

I really do hope so. Graphic novels are pretty close to my main purchasing focus, as I highly enjoy filling my book shelf with things other than flimsy pamphlet issues. Regardless, pennies saved are pennies earned!


Also I'll take a second to point out the new Scott Pilgrim themed banner. Scott Pilgrim, created by Bryan Lee O'Malley is definitely on my favorites list and I'll definitely enjoy meeting the creator at the Calgary Comicon in April.
