Book of Interest: America vol #1

Miss America is a total powerhouse and America was one of the comic book series I really wanted to read but since I already have a large number of books on my pull list I decided to wait to pick this up in the trade edition. Unfortunately, I am sorry to hear that this series has been cancelled due to low sales.

I've mentioned this before how the comic book industry needs to realize that customers are not buying books the way they used to. A lot of readers are not going into the comic book store to pick up weekly books they are now waiting for the trade edition which is an easier way for many of them to get the books.

Even though this series has been cancelled, I'm still going to read it. So for now, I'll add to my wishlist but I am going to try to pick this up as soon as I can.
