That is way too expensive. It will continue to drive people to TPBs. maybe they are about to go with electronic distribution for half the cost and want to force everyone to the new medium.
ReplyDeleteI think this is why Marvel is offering digital copies of their comic books. The cost of printing comics will continue to rise, particularly in relation to quality paper, ink, and other production expenses. We'll probably all end up reading comics on Kindle or iPad.
