AWA Studios CCO, Axel Alonso, formerly the editor-in-chief at Marvel, commented on this new deal in the accompanying press release:
“AWA’s first wave of trade paperbacks performed well above expectations, so I am very excited to enter into a distribution agreement with Simon & Schuster, who will no doubt help us reach an even broader audience.”
So, a continued presence in comic book stores will expanding their reach into book stores it would seem? And, with a good few seres now in the can, they’ve got a good line up of collections already. It’ll be interesting to see how this works out. As even, we’ll keep ’em peeled for you all.
