Grim. I wonder if we will see mass layoffs and wholesale line reductions this year or next.

Early next year when its obvious that a lot of the DC titles failed. Marvel is usually good about not publishing titles that lose money so they will I'm sure drop some too.

DC's "make or break" is the reboot. If the behind-the-scenes rumors are true, they've got a year from that point to make good, though I wouldn't be surprised if that got shortened if sales stay bad or get worse (God forbid). There's a lot of "jumping off point" talk going round DC forums.

Next time Brevoort, Whacker or anyone else in comics who keeps arguing with us about how wrong we all were about One More Day, the $3.99 price hike, the endless renumberings and meaningless deaths tells us it's all going to work out in the end... please quote them this article.
And the next one like it.
And the one after that.
They'd sooner watch the industry fold than admit mistakes were made.
