June 22, 2009 2:37 pm Think about it this way: the cover price (and advertising with the majors) has to cover printing, distribution, warehouse storage, the store's cut, etc. None of those costs are needed with digital comics. I do think it will lead to an increase in trade sales, and I don't think we can let nostalgia get in the way of progress, or our industry will die. Only something like 25 comics sold over 50,000 issues last month. I'm not keen on reading comics onscreen myself, but it would be foolish to ignore the thousands of people who are. Also, consider all the people who don't live near a well-stocked comic book store.
June 22, 2009 2:27 pm Yeah, I had the full demo, but I don't think it's my place to say. But I will say that if it takes off it will make indie comics like ours viable again.
June 22, 2009 2:24 pm People who think the $0.99 price is too low for the majors are seriously overestimating how much of the cover price of a print comic makes it back to the publisher.
June 22, 2009 11:45 am I *believe* Image creators, as they own their own work, can work with Longbox on an individual basis (I see Jonathon Hickman has his boks signed up with them).

That's what we're attempting to do, yeah. Hell, I don't even like half the music featured in the series. That's not the point.

June 18, 2009 6:37 am akamuu - I won't comment on the rest of your post, except to say that I think there's a difference between a *character* sneering and a *book* sneering, but as you've made this mistake twice: Leigh Gallagher drew the story you liked, Lee O'Connor drew the Indie Dave one, and both are guys.
