Will brick-and-mortar bookstores go the way of the dinosaurs? Is Amazon really the future? Get your answers from Marv Wolfman (Teen Titans, Superman), R. A. Salvatore (Forgotten Realms series, Child of a Mad God), Brandon Easton (Agent Carter, M.A.S.K.), Russell Nohelty (Katrina Hates the Dead, publisher of Wannabe Press), and moderator Neo Edmund (Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and Red Riding, the Alpha Huntress).
