I quit buying comics a few years ago. What's causing the increase, the price of a few sheets of paper or increased writer/artist pay or having to spread that cost over less copies printed?

No, definitely not worth it in any type of economy. As Vince-Vell said, why pay that amount when you can finish it in a few minutes?

Vince was talking about Escorts, he was on the wrong forum again. He had to edit his post to mention comics.

I'm trying to be more selective and cut down my list to at least 5 titles per month.

Seriously the majority of both Companies weren't worthy at $ 2.99.

I'll be going down with the ship on some titles, but I'll be cutting back sharply. It's just ridiculous.
