Comics To Make Big Inroads In Barnes & Noble In June

According to a number of Barnes & Noble employees in the USA, in June, Barnes & Noble will be expanding the amount and range of comic books they carry. Already growing their graphic novel categories, I understand that reports regarding Hastings doing well with single comic books has encouraged Barnes & Noble to try the same, nationally.

As a result, Bleeding Cool has been told that employees have been asked to prepare to rearrange the magazine section of the store to accomodate a greater range of comic book titles, from both mainstream and independent titles, albeit with an emphasis on titles with movies this summer.

The comic book industry has received a blow with the bankruptcy and rearrangement of Borders, this could provide a much needed boost, even if it's only a temporary one.

And, of course, if it works, it cold be just the financial impetus that print comics industry needs.
