Imagine if comic books had trailers like movies and TV shows to build up buzz and get mainstream audiences excited. Now imagine no more!

Perhaps someone more plugged into this particular format war can comment, but, for myself, I’ll just mention the two things that happened over the last week in the world of ebook formats.
