i was just talking to my dad about comics and i expressed amazement that they're even still around, at least in the printed form. i would have figured that they'd all be digital and borderline animated by now.
i remember when comics made the jump from $1 to $1.25, it felt like the end of the world lol.
the last time i looked at a comic they were hovering around the $3-$4 mark and had the page count of a pamphlet. add in the constant reboots,restarts and crossovers youre looking at a nice chunk of change for what generally used to be a dirt cheap hobby. what was wrong with 12 issues and an annual?
