The only way this 'betrayal' could be avoided is if the comic stores changed their models to exclusively service the needs of those things that you can't purchase digitally (i.e. figures, statues, toys, games, etc.) and the publishers 'drive' the consumption of those physical goods.
But we all know the one thing the comic publishers are not very good at is 'marketing' their product.
All I can say with any certainty is that however long the characters of the comic publishers have perceived value, their will be stories told about those characters, whether they be comics, movies, books, tv shows, etc., in order to monetize that value for their copyright holders.
Disney did not buy Marvel with the idea that they are in a downwards spiral, but rather as a huge market opportunity. We just have to ride out this 'dark winter' until the 'spring blooms forth', and be positive that there will indeed be a 'spring'.
You wanna know how I knew it was a Josh pick?
It wasn't a Bat-family comic (Conor) or a hot topic of the month pick (Ron)! LOL!
I'm torn between giving this a 1 and a 5, so I settled on a generous 4.
Part of me wonders if with the 'Montior' waking at the end, if this was all just some horrible dream.
Another part of me feels as if the story is always just out of my reach, moving in my peripheral 'vision', and if I read this 100 times I'd have 120 explanations of what happened.
Another part asks 'Grant, what on earth have you been smoking and where do I get some?'
As I said to friends at the beginning of the battle of this last summers events, DC will be a better story/idea/concept but Marvel will win due to 'bread and circuses'.
I'm almost completely certain that DC editorial slapped the moniker Crisis on this series for no other reason than sales, which will probably backfire and kick them in the ass.
@Conor But aren't comics still only $2.99 and everyone's bitchin' about going to $3.99
You're just buying into the conspiracy! LOL!! ;)
