"Although one interesting point - all these books are being advertised as 32 page comic books (usually with 22 pages of story). While the added pages for advertising don't impact on the customer that much, the retailer has to pay for the extra shipping cost - is this an argument they could use to make Marvel's entire shipment returnable? Anyone? Anyone? Hibbs?"
The freight costs may be trivial for American retailers but for me, here in Australia, it adds around A$0.25-0.3 per book. That increases our cost by around 10-15% - and there's no way we can recover that cost.
