May 23, 2012 3:54 am @Andrew It has happened before, so it will happen again. Because Magic. @Rob3E As I pointed out, you can buy comics through comixology.com, and then download to your tablet to read. It is purely based on assumption that it increases the publishers cut.
May 22, 2012 5:21 am I like how everyone is so eager create another monopoly after years of enduring Diamond. Also, by my calculations, and indie creator gets nothing from a digital sale. If we have a former comixology rep not under NDA, please correct me. 30% goes to Apple when you buy through your ios device. At least 30% goes to comixology, because it would zero sense to cede a larger margin to Apple, who have zero investment in the project. At least 30% goes to comixology, because it would zero sense to cede a larger margin to the other two parties. 10% to the creator, at most. A typical indie comic is 3-3.5 USD, which means at best 35 cents per sale, which isn't bad when you consider the abysmal royalties recording artists get. Walking Dead, the highest selling non-licensed comic book in April, sold around 30,000 copies. At 13%, the digital sales would be around 3900, meaning a net sales $1365. Digital sales aren't large enough to warrant going after the market. I guess as a consumer, you can chose to buy comics through the comixology website, as it takes away Apple's/Google's cut, though I don't know if that changes too much. And to the 'Digital is future DERP!' people; why do you think it's the future? Can you give one sound argument where the current model can lead to a healthy market in the future? Suppose all comics are available through all vendors, but comics bought from one vendor does not work with other vendors format, they do not work on every device, they do not have a consistent quality across devices and they do not have any price advantage over print. It seems this future of yours does not have any comics in them.

May 22, 2012 4:21 am @jimski I think you need a dose of this: http://notalwaysright.com/ @NiodNolan This was an editorial. A misguided one, but still. It was an expression of opinion on the creators choice. It doesn't require any sort of entitlement.
May 20, 2012 4:42 pm If Whedon's movie was like John's Avengers, it would have taken 5 hours for the Chitauri to invade and all characters would speak exclusively in pointless exposition introducing us to 50 year old characters.
