I can entertain the idea of a petition... but it won't be the main focus of the booth.

Also, this has mainly occured because, as I understand it, Dreamwave Comics basically failed to license their comics for outside North America. So it doesn't really seem to be Hasbro's fault (although Hasbro is backing up and enforcing this ban). Fans in other countries such as the UK have also made similar gripes to Australian fans as well.

It would almost seem like Dreamwave just plain FORGOT that there were countries outside North American buying their comic books.

This attitude sure doesn't help alleviate the insular stereotype of America being "the land that looks inward" -- which really, is at the heart of all negative perceptions of Americans.

...the bizarre thing is that Dreamwave is a freakin' Canadian company too. But it's plainly obvious that they're marketing their product solely at Americans. You can tell by the way they produce their comic (measuring distances in miles? What the--??) and to the unfortunate detriment of fans outside the North American continent, their failure to license their product for export.
