I think the $4 MLP books are aimed at all the adult fans that are out there right now. I can't see getting a "floppy" for a young child, instead waiting for a more durable hardcover or digest...

I'm curious about the American Vampire example because I can't seem to find any other place that mentions it. I don't believe it actually exists. :/ Now, there have been AmVamp variant covers, but...

I think it sucks that a book can sell 20,000 books a month, but won't be carried by stores because they each won't sell enough to justify carrying it. I wish there was a better system for customers...

Kind of tangential, but the mention of better contracts for creators got me thinking about Artist Resale Royalties:...

"Do you like effectively renting comics?"

Sure, if I'm paying the cost of renting them. $0.99? Yeah, I'm kinda okay with that. Cover price? No way.

Obviously you don't have an Xbox 360 or you would have spelled it correctly. :P

And there's a generation of children being raised right now who won't understand your attachment to paper and physical copies. They will grow up without this nostalgia and see nothing lost reading...

I'll gladly give up the "joy" of collecting. No more bagging and boarding. No more longboxes. No more piles of unsorted comics on my selves. Huzzah!



I'm thinking about buying my friends...

A well measured and reasonable response. What the fuck are you doing on the internet? Get out!

I don't think a 30-days later site is needed. I get my comics 1-3 weeks late thanks to mail order and have no problem going back and reading old news/reviews. See also getting TV shows between one...

Freakonomics took an interesting look at the termnation rights issue:

I still don't understand why I, as a customer, would want to go through the LCS to buy a digital comic, especially if it will cost as much as a physical copy. I don't mind digital comics at all, but...

More than that, music is still generally produced on analog instuments. A lot of comics are produced digitally. Certainly not all, but I think most coloring and lettering is done digitally and a...

I've read all of Cerebus. Twice, almost (I skipped "Dave Sim Rewrites the Torah" the second time around). Sim never fails to impress me as a cartoonist and his humor/satire is almost always great,...

See, I just make my Pile #2 my Amazon wish list. Lets me have time to hear some buzz about it, good or bad, and some distance to decide if I really want to read a series.

Congrats on being an elitist fanboi.

So, what exactly is going on with Batman, Inc? It's the only title I follow from DC (until Batwoman hits) and haven't really kept up with all the Flashpoint announcments.

Aw, man, I was looking forward to Strange Adventures. I wish I hadn't read your review before getting it. :/

I tend to get a bunch of anthologies as they are the only way I get out of the little...

I'm not saying that. I'm saying that since that format is dominant, an average comic book reader* will see x number of pages and will immediately think y amount of story. Therefore, when they see a...

Oh, I read plenty of non-standard comics, though not many oversized European ones. But, if you're saying this is anything but a drop in the bucket compared to what Marvel, DC, Dark Horse, Image,...

The reason people look at page counts is due to the unfamiliarity with the different formats. 99% of what most people read is in a standard American comic size, so people have a rough estimate of...

"kaboom!" is like the quietest yell ever put to page. The lowercase letters don't jive well with an exclamation point.

I haven't partaken in any of the $2 comics, but I was intrigued enough to check out the websites (Cleo in Spaaace is fun). I would have gotten Skottie Young's book, but I already have a hard copy.

"The worst part is not being able to spin your tablet around to draw from a different angle. There IS an option to move the canvas around, instead. It just takes some getting used to."

My favorite part of Moore's quote is "could they not get one of the ‘top-flight industry creators' to come up with an idea of their own?" while holding up Watchmen, a comic that is almost entirely...
