In the older we never forget that the booth was the place where we experience our first contact with this, very dear to us, the comic world. In these outlets could be found from the comics Mortadelo and Philemon, to the American comics of Marvel or DC, to magazines like "1984" "Cimoc and others. Today this has changed much, the proliferation of comics of all kinds of styles, and the inclusion in the market have become specialized bookshops selling comics in kiosks at something very profitable for all parties, including Kiosquero, the publisher and the customer's own comic.
I think we all agree if I say that, for the mainstream enthusiast, it is clear that it is now much easier and more convenient to buy your comic a comic book store, where they have a wide selection of back issues and all the news. This makes selling comics in kiosks has suffered considerably in recent years. Then there is the number of publications issued each month, and arriving at the kiosk, where there is not enough to expose them all. And yet we must also include the mishandling of companies engaged in the distribution of kiosks., at least in regard to comics (and here I speak with real knowledge of the facts). All this makes many kiosks are so many comics cap, and together, to publishers, should be overwhelming returns.
With all this, Panini, since joining the English market, planned distribution, relying mainly on an exclusive distributor for comic books and libraries, but has also worked with distributors of the kiosks, the number of titles distributed by the channel each is narrowing. I remember that at first almost all publications were distributed staple formats kiosks for channels, then invented this "Special Collector's Edition" and has gradually reducing collections that are distributed through this channel. Specifically, if I remember correctly, now we just have New Avengers, Wolverine, X-Men, X-Men, Ultimate Spiderman and Captain America, the latter being the only one not to have another exclusive edition for libraries.
Metro's case is substantially different, at first a strong commitment to the distributor of kiosks, as had been doing while having the rights of Marvel. However, not fare too well because of following the closure of many of its collections, and to pass others to be distributed directly from the publisher to the book store, such as Robin, Teen Titans, Green Lantern and some others. Will be the first time Metro collection distribute regular comic book format directly from your editorial staples in bookstores. And all this is about something.
However, despite the difficulties, the two major publishers maintain several titles per kiosk. And this is not coincidence; The kiosk will remain the best place of attraction for potential new fans through, for the many kiosks that exist in our country, and its location at the crossing sites, usually much more readily available than bookstores. Títulos como Spiderman, Superman, Batman y X-Men nunca podrán perder su lugar en este punto de venta.
