Wow well assuming its actually on the shelves of all the the stores that would be a pretty cool thing. Come on US Squaxx lets see some photo evidence.

Out of interest did they not take 2000ad due to its weekly status, price point or a different reason? Can anyone say?

Terrific news, Mighty One!  I certainly hope that it lasts a whole lot longer than the 2003 experiment:

I'll go by a B&N one day this week and hope to bring home a copy!

Matt, are those in EVERY Barnes & Noble? I was in the Wilkes-Barre, PA B&N today - and no luck. This is great news, though. There's another store not too far from here and I'll check that out.

Bad news: in the GN section, only one twothy-related GN - JD Case Files 01. I was hoping to see more. I'll keep you updated from these shores (though I wonder how long this exile will last...).

No, but it's gone into 400 stores across North America. The 421 Arena Hub Plaza, Wilkes-Barre store is one of those on the list, so I'd suggest asking a member of staff about it. Other stores in PA that should stock it are: Camp Hill, Wyomissing, Homestead, Exton, Altoona, Monroeville, Easton, Center Valley, Whitehall, Bensalem, Erie, Fairless Hills, Philadelphia, Berwyn, Lancaster, Plymouth Meeting, and 3 stores in Pittsburgh.

It's true!  C'est vrai!  And priced at $9.99 - two dollars less than Diamond charges for it!

(Sadly, not a Simon & Schuster trade to be seen at this B&N, but this was great to see!!)

Is this your placing Grant or was it front and center before a Squaxx got there?

 Cyber Matt's listed the PA shops maybe he'll list the AZ shops if you asked nice  :D
I will name him Tharg, and I will hug him and pet him and squeeze him.

Thats awesome stuff. Nows the time to hit all the comic blogs / news sites forums and pimp the hell out of this. I'll be bombarding The Comics Journal people with mentions and sticking a few links in their comments.
If I'd known it was harmless I would have killed it myself.
