Ingram's global reach and Two Rivers' expertise allow our books to show up in more places than ever. It means bigger shelves, broader reach, and fewer barriers between our work and fans. This isn't just growth for Z2-it's a game changer for how music, pop-culture and graphic storytelling can live side by side in the marketplace."
