The price is to pay artists. The point of the high price is that neither digital nor physical sells well enough to be cheap.

Fuck yourself faggot I've spent more on DC a month than you ever will. "Ladderbro" I wish you faggots would kill yourselves.

>Spinner racks in stores would be a band-aid on a bullet wound scenario. The entire reason the direct market model exists was as a response to declining newsstand sales
And yet you think there's a way to return to that model after a decade of every magazine dying. Why?
Anthony Rogers
Not that user, but the mainstream comic market is small and insular. One writer at Marvel or DC can pen multiple titles, and the gatekeeping that goes on ensures their friends get other writing positions in the company; or worse - comic writers are getting replaced by high profile Hollywood fanboy writers preventing new talent from coming to the table.
Basically the market as is is too small due to a number of factors (print dying, high prices, aging readership, corporate ownership of IP's and lack of actual fresh ideas, social media ninnies complaining for days and never purchasing any product just poisoning the well, etc.), so an overhaul of how things are done could be beneficial to comics as a medium and not just as an IP farm for Hollywood (outside of Marvel and DC, how many indie comics are just desperate TV/movie pitches) and aging Wizards and incels (not the pejorative form, just the pre-cool "nerd" culture).
Comics should be like film, literature, and music - mediums you're not expected to grow out of, but one that offers other things for you to read as you age.
And there's nothing wrong with revisiting Superman or X-Men when a creative team you enjoy hops on for a brief moment, but when that's not happening hopefully you'll have other fun and cool comics to read.

>They need to work on the pricing still. $4 or $5 for a digital issue is beyond retarded and will still be a huge hindrance. $1 or $2 is better as it's just far more affordable.
t. Someone who's never looked into the cost of comics let alone printing and shipping.

They'll never sell to you faggots and never should. Most readers want meat and potatoes status quo comics. They don't want social justice warrior faggotry or the type of faggotry you people who don't like cape comics are shilling. All of you faggots just need to fuck off and leave capeshit alone. Write your own shit. Or are you incapable of creating anything of worth?

>comics he dislikes
You faggot ass children always add something to latch on to. Are you fucking twelve? Did you graduate high school? Stock being an insufferable disingenuous fucking faggot and converse.
All you fucking shut stains everywhere do is whine that cape comics aren't like your faggot ass fan fics.
