Barnes & Noble holds a strangely near & dear place in my heart. It's where I had my first date with my first girlfriend, but it's also the place that wouldn't hire me twice, even though any idiot could work there just fine.





Accompanying a mixture of love and disappointment is the fact that people cannot find DC comics in Barnes & Noble stores ​any longer.

In 2011, when DC Comics released 100 graphic novels as a digital exclusive on the Amazon Fire, Barnes & Noble, pulled all those books in print from the shelves. I n 2013, they stopped selling Marvel Comics titles, while still selling plenty of DC, Dark Horse, and Archie.





Whatever the reason is, it seems that every few years the conglomerate bans specific comics from its shelves.





The company has not released an official statement yet, but there's proof this isn't a coincidence, as a majority of the 778 retail stores have had this same pattern in its stocking. Unless one specific employee is going from place to place, stealing DC comics from each and every store.
