Funny that people are talking about this being the month of four dollar comics, since the first comic I paid four dollars for was back in 2002? Can’t recall. Pretty sure it was an issue of THIRTY DAYS OF NIGHT. I can’t find it in my longboxes to verify, but I recall being put off [...]
I’m partial to trapezoidal myself.
Gary Reed muses about the current comics marketplace. Well worth a look.
I’m not going to put on my alarmist hat. Mr. Reed doesn’t either, though he does mull over some questions out loud that some people probably only ask of themselves silently.
For instance. The return of Steve Rogers as Captain America [...]
Same as it ever was, same as it ever was, same as it ever was, here comes the twister, here comes the twister.

AND THEY’RE SAVING THEIR LABOURS FOR INSANE READING
Comics cost too much. There. I’ve said it. We all know it to be true, but I’ll go ahead and say it.
Well, it’s not 100 percent true. It is, however, quite true when you’re talking about single issues. Six issues of a comic [...]
So DC wants to get into online comics. That’s spiffy.
The only thing is, does online comics need DC? Or does DC just need new talent to sift through? If they’re serious about getting people interested in online comics, then where’s the daily JLA strip to anchor things? Are they going to [...]
deseretnews.com | Comics industry is here to stay
This needs to be examined. Hopefully this afternoon.
EDIT - By “this afternoon” I certainly meant “Saturday evening or Sunday before the kids get up.”
Okay, got a little time to spend on this, so let’s take a look. And when I’m talking comics industry here, I’m talking [...]
