[EVA] No Viz Eva monthlies outside North America?

[Andrew Rollason]

I have rung Viz and confirmed this. Viz as far as I am
concerned have turned their back on the very people
who made their fortune. It's a well known fact that of
all the comics buyers in the English speaking world,
67% live outside the US and and an Amazing 19%
actually live in our wide brown land down under.

This means that the only Viz worth anything any more
is Viz from Tyneside with Syd the Sexist.
Dirty dirty dirty.
