As a business major, Josh is absolutely right. Very few comics are made because people love the medium now. The only one that immediately jumps to mind is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (which is still being published) but Peter Laird does it all out of pocket and doesn't make any money off the issues, but at the same time he did co-write the most successful indie comic ever.
But there has been a switch in the business world from the goal of a business is to enhance shareholder value to improve the standard of living. Money is a means to an end, not the end itself.
