Its interesting to see Kirkman jumping into the deep end. I have no idea what the costs are to go digital, but the first thing that came to mind was that digital comics might go down smoother with readers if they prevented price increases. Kirkman never hiked up his cover price and he probably still makes more than most. If other publishers dropped their singles back to $2.99 and did same day releases for digital comics I'd be interested to see how everything would shake out. There's an obvious demand for lower prices and digital comics, why not kill two birds? Assuming there's a chance it could work.

@Scott B: Hah!!! I actually miss D-Man -- he had one of the best costumes : )
