The Price of Funny Books

     

Notes from the Bludhouse

So when I see the current prices of comics, I can't help but think that it's one of the reasons that the industry I love is dying. You can talk about paper quality and printing costs all you want, but I call bs on most of that. Comics SHOULD be for kids. They should be affordable and easily available.

In a time when 3 of the highest grossing movies in recent history are comic book properties, yet the comic industry itself is dying, one has to wonder why. Get on the ball, Marvel and DC. Start taking advantage of the digital medium and get your product out there for EVERYONE to read, not just for us 30-something fanboys with nothing better to do.

And for all you women out there (or men - we're not picky), discounted blowjobs aren't a bad idea either.

Thanks for reading.
