the icon ownz all 08/03/11 9:13:00 AM #54:	From: MarvelousGerbil \| #047 I mean obviously they target the nerdy kids demographic The target audience is 18-44 year old males. As for the escalation of prices, yeah, that's an issue. Comics are struggling in much the same way that music did a decade ago. Sales are shrinking dramatically while the cost to manufacture comics is rising. Rather than embrace a digital model, Marvel has raised the price by a dollar on some books, which caused fans of those books to drop a $2.99 book. -- ICON: #Kanyeshrug <cite>the icon ownz all posted [p:163694] in They'r...

Comics are struggling in much the same way that music did a decade ago. Sales are shrinking dramatically while the cost to manufacture comics is rising. Rather than embrace a digital model, Marvel has raised the price by a dollar on some books, which caused fans of those books to drop a $2.99 book. I think this is the reason DC is going to come out on top after all this, at least for a while. Marvel refuses to embrace digital out of some "loyalty" to brick and more stores (at least that's what they claim). Unfortunately, nowadays, most people have to drive 30-60 minutes to actually get to a comic shop. I have to drive 40. Meanwhile, DC is putting everything at $1.99 online, and keeping all regular sized books at $2.99 in stores, unlike Marvel who's put half their books at $3.99, and doesn't reduce the price for digital at all. Funny, since Marvel pioneered the digital distribution, but refuses to change their policies. And as for comic shops, DC is the one enacting a new distributor return policy on unsold books, not Marvel, no matter how much smack Marvel wants to talk. -- ~LtM http://img.imgcake.com/1312163320349pngag.png <cite>KimPilgrim posted [p:163698] in They'r...

the icon ownz all 08/03/11 9:22:00 AM #59:	Yeah, it's a fantastic move on DC's part. Tablets, and the iPad in particular, have exploded in popularity. If you want comic sales to grow, you have to have a strong presence in app stores, and you have to be aggressive with pricing. The only good move Marvel has made in the digital realm is partnering with Starbucks to offer free books on Marvel Digital to those using Starbucks wifi. I doubt it's helping to grow Marvel's business, but it's nice from a customer loyalty perspective. I think I'm going to start buying all my DC comics digitally and pick up the books I really want in trade. -- ICON: FUN FUN FUN FUN <cite>the icon ownz all posted [p:163699] in They'r...

KimPilgrim 08/03/11 9:27:00 AM #60:	The DC Comics app they just launched is excellent, too, great move getting a major backing by ComiXology as their primary distributor. I fully intend to upgrade to a tablet after my current smartphone's year is up so I can get a discount, then it's digital all the way. I think I'm going to start buying all my DC comics digitally and pick up the books I really want in trade. Great idea, especially with DC's new policy of no longer having a standard trade size, collecting stories in smaller and larger trades when necessary and pricing appropriately. -- ~LtM http://img.imgcake.com/1312163320349pngag.png <cite>KimPilgrim posted [p:163700] in They'r...
