Marvel Comics’s single issues and graphic novels will no longer be carried in Books-A-Million stores, according to a report from Good eReader. They also say that Barnes & Noble will no longer carry single issues, but “will continue to sell graphic novels and trade paperback editions of Marvel properties, because they are sourced through Hachette,” implying that a breakdown between Marvel and big box bookstores may be behind the move.Neither the publisher nor Barnes & Noble have confirmed the report for ComicBook.com, and Books-A-Million was unreachable by phone.”Barnes and Noble and Books-A-Million have confirmed to Good e-Reader that many of their flagship locations have stopped carrying single issues and graphic novels of Marvel Comics,” the site reported. “You can still find these titles at smaller stores in more rural locations but no new orders will be processed after January 1st 2014.”When rumors first started to fly this weekend about the possibility of Barnes & Noble’s Union Square location no longer carrying Marvel’s monthly, magazine-format comics, ComicBook.com reached out to the bookstore chain, who directed us to Marvel Comics for comment. Marvel did not respond to inquiries by telephone or e-mail.
