Episode 77 - Murdock and Marvel: 2009 Part 22009 was a tough year for comics, in that sales declined and a number of stores (nearly 50% in some areas) closed their doors.  Closings of Waldenbooks and other book outlets also made getting product into customers’ hands difficult.  We also saw cover prices rise, even as the recession continued to impact fans ability to spend. This is part 2 of the podcast that will feature the year in Daredevil, the Spotlight story and the Takeaway for 2009.
