"Currently, DC Comics are no longer available for purchase on our Fire app." –  ComiXology representative to a Bleeding Cool reader After making such a furore by signing their most popular hundred graphic novels exclusively to the Kindle Fire last year, and seeing Barnes & Noble and Books-A-Million boycott those titles in protest, you'd have thought[...]
