August
20 Disc Deluge

Post-Wizard World, it's been kind of a quiet week.

Scott Mitchell Rosenberg's Platinum Studios signed a deal this week with First Family Television to adapt comics properties to the small screen. Among them are "Meet the Haunteds," about a white family that moves into a house haunted by a family of black ghosts and "Spaced."

Another DVD project looking into the comicbook industry is due this fall with Hero Video Production's "Terry Moore: Paradise Found." Docu looks at Moore and his creation, long-running indie fave "Strangers in Paradise."

Sony will release the DVD of "Spider-Man 2" on Nov. 30, a move that raised some eyebrows as it's a month later than the release of the first film on DVD back in 2002. How this will affect sales during the holiday season is up for debate.

The July sales rankings are out from Diamond. DC took the top three spots with Superman/Batman #11, Superman #207 and Identity Crisis #2. Marvel has 13 of the top 20 selling titles and had the largest slice of unit sales and dollar sales for the month with 34% and 41% respectively compared to DC's 32% and 35%.
