Actually the way they explain expenses is reasonable and goes with what is commonly known about the deal.

"[F]ees payable to any channel partner or distributor of comiXology (for example, various...

Yes. I know what the fee is for. I'm a 20 year veteran of comic book retail. I just don't agree with Hibbs' constant doomsday scenarios in regards to digital. Whenever there's anything new, "this is...

Then don't pay a weekly fee. New Comic Day is Wednesday. There's no reason you shouldn't be able to open your store for sales whatever hours you want, and as long as its Wednesday there's no reason...

I realize this is impractical, but if you think there is a significant audience looking to buy at 12:01am wed, why dont you open your store at 12:01 wednesday? It's wednesday. No reason you shouldnt...

I just don't buy it. That there is one person that says, let alone 10% of a customer base, "I like print comics, but my store doesn't open till 9am. Even though I'm a human being and so I sleep at...

Sure it does. It's the idea that someone choosing buy their media digitally causing them to decide to just steal that is insanely stupid.

Ok, here is why I don't buy this, no matter how many times people love to bring it up:

What is it about Vibe that would make someone at WB, who we know is no expert about comics since then he...

You think it's naive to say Disney execs don't give a shit about "Red She-Hulk," "Journey Into Mystery" or "Scarlet Spider" and that the decision to publish those titles were made by Marvel guys?
...

First of all, you can't call it an IP farm and then say publishing doesn't matter. Publishing IS the farm. Without publishing the IPs would lose their value to other depts, and as being a farm...

You're criticizing Marvel Comics because someone who works at Disney who's job it is to make cartoons doesn't care how much X-Force sells, while completely marginalizing the dozens if not hundreds of...

Anyone who thinks hard working writers, artists, editors, designers, marketing managers, executive editors, and everyone else who puts in 40+ hours a week to get these books on the shelf don't care...

Because flooding the market IS how Image makes money. Image, as a publisher, doesn't make money off of sales. Image creators pay Image a fee for every realease (something like $2-3k. I forget the...

That's the most insanely stupid thing I've ever heard.

While I do agree that fewer titles would bring sales up on the books that remain (if there were 2 X-Men titles instead of 8, those two would see a definite increase), I disagree that there's no...

This. So this.

There are people out who don't care that piracy is wrong, and there are people who have deluded themselves to the point that they truly believe it's not. Those are the people in...

So what you're saying is you can see how CREATING the unauthorized copy could be illegal, but don't see why RECEIVING the unauthorized copy should be illegal.

It's simple. If i steal a jacket,...

People need to realize "piracy" and "free reading" are not the same thing. People who argue against piracy are not arguing against reading for free. If you're thrifty enough to get all your comics...

The difference is the store paid for those shelf copies and it's up to them to decide their in-store reading policy.

I would say Hannibul Tabu is being a jerk to his local retailer.

Attention all idiots:

I love this argument because it defeats itself by its very premise. "I shouldn't HAVE to pay for your art because it has no inherent value. I should only pay once I deem it...

"Alonso: Most titles are staying the same price they are now, with many of the added-value features we offered during "Avengers Vs. X-Men."

Meaning most of the titles relaunching are already...

They haven't made any official statements on the price of Marvel Now books, but they have officially stated all Marvel Now books will have digital download codes. The policy right now is that all...

I just checked and dynamite (at least the 3 titles i just checked) drops to $1.99.

I'm ok with $1.99. I certainly wouldn't complain about $.99, but I still think $1.99 is fair and am fine with it....

Loved X-O and loved Harbinger! Super psyched to have Valiant back!

I just really really really wish they'd clarify their digital pricing policy. Standard non-Marvel/DC practice is to release at...

I always wonder how much of the burden publishers and diamond throw on retailers for FCBD.

What is a publisher's per-book printing cost? They must be printing hundreds of thousands of copies,...

khuxford, I'd love for you to show the part of Kirkman's manifesto where he says "no one but you should make a dollar off your creations, period."

That's not what it was about at all. It was about...
