August 21, 2013 10:21 pm Maybe you should just learn how to express yourself in a straightforward manner. Morse code, latin, and certainly obtuse and pointless analogies don't accomplish that.

August 21, 2013 2:04 pm Seriously? We've resorted to personal insults and sarcasm? Doesn't really lend your opinion credibility.

August 21, 2013 11:10 am @har13quin: I actually think that's what the rest of us were saying. I'm not sure anyone knows what ithosapien was saying.

August 21, 2013 11:07 am Looks awesome to me! I never played the Walking Dead games but always meant to get into them. Can't wait to play this!

August 20, 2013 11:48 pm @scotte: As I said above, I'm just not comfortable considering all entertainment media equal simply because they are entertainment but I see what you're saying with that compassion. I also fully agree that older comic should drastically decrease in price. I'd even go so far as to say comics that are a year old or more should be .99. I still just don't feel like I can say what I think digital comics should cost until I know definitively how much they cost to create. I honestly don't know how anyone can have an opinion on what a comic should cost without knowing what they cost to create. Without that knowledge you are speaking from ignorance which invalidates your opinion. So all I can still say is I think digital comics should cost the same as print comics minus printing and shipping.

August 20, 2013 10:24 pm I'm not disagreeing with that. My point was saying that Batman has always been dark isn't accurate.

August 20, 2013 9:16 pm Can any of the ifanboys enlighten us as to roughly how much a print comic costs to create, print and ship? People always complain about prices but I am actually amazed at how cheap comics are. To think you can print a 32 page Image book in full color, on very high quality paper stock (with no ads for additional revenue), promote it, and ship it across the country for $3.50 amazes me. Image can charge only $3.50 and still manage to pay the writer, artist, inker, colorist, and letterer, plus cover printing and shipping costs AND still turn a profit! It's actaully pretty hard to imagine.

August 20, 2013 8:59 pm You can't compare how long it takes you to consume something, you have to compare how long it takes and how expensive it is to produce something. I can consume a MacDonald's quarter pounder in about 20 minutes. I can also consume a filet mignon in about 20 minutes. Does that mean they should cost the exact some? Of course not. Comparing an mp3 to a digital comic is in no way fair. I'm not sure what a digital comic price should cost because I don't know what it costs to produce a comic minus shipping and printing. But I would say a digital comic should cost the same as a print comic minus printing and shipping costs. Anything less is unfair and unrealistic. And to go back to the mp3/consumption time example it really doesn't make sense. Let's look at three of my favorite songs. Miles Davis - Bitch's Brew (26 minutes 59 seconds), Gillian Welch - Revelator (6 minutes 22 seconds), and Kid Dynamite - Wrist Rocket (1 minute, 36 seconds). So I guess those songs should all cost different amounts? If Gillian Welch costs .99 does that mean iTunes should pay me when I download Kid Dynamite? How does the time example make sense when the length of songs are, well, not at all the same. And to say pirates are "fighting back" is not something I can agree with. I just recently read an article that chicken prices right now are more than 5% higher right now than this same time last year. Does that mean your friends are stealing chicken too? I can only assume they are since they aren't just being petulant about prices, they're actually "fighting back."

August 20, 2013 4:49 pm @deepspacesamurai: Except horror movies have always been scary. That is their point. Batman books haven't always been dark. In fact they were NOT dark much longer then they have been dark, it's simply that they are all dark now and have been for a few decades. Prior to the 1980's Batman books, and comics in general but particularly Batman, had a much lighter tone. I think all people are asking is why can't we go back somewhat to how comics used to be.

August 20, 2013 4:45 pm I agree, all I can say at this point is. ........................................
