But I feel that it would still feel bad to see those numbers if the publisher actually showed them. Given how close to the drain the sales are, I can only imagine DC asking Frank Miller to make another Dark Knight Returns sequel out of desperation for cash.Ben L.

You probably add a few more units sold to account for digital and international, but 60 to 70 thousand is still a bad number in historical terms. Direct Markets haven’t been good for comic books.Ben L.

Th...I think that we will see comics in the future. There will be a renewed interest. However, I also feel that some of today's characters may end up being relics of the past in the way that Dick Tracy, The Shadow, or The Phantom have become. I too got comics ata young age in the form of teenage mutant ninja turtles when I was 4 or 5. But with the way things are with everything online and direct marketed, my honest feeling is that the old characters will die out and after some time of absence, get replaced.<br /><br />Does anyone have any idea how the digital equivalents sell? That might say something if digital increased total sales. I was going digital because I can read them on a tablet or TV screen so long as I have an internet connection<br /><br />But yeah, it's troubling to see how bad. Even worse is the price. It is up, and low sales may very well force the price up even more.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
