It makes me sad to hear about this issue and what an impact it may have on the industry I’m growing to love, though.

The “chapterish” nature of recent comics is very interesting to contemplate. Personally I won’t be making any adjustments to my pull list; the way it breaks down for me is that I NEVER double dip storylines; I either buy it all in comic form, or I wait for the tpb/graphic novel. I mostly use the trades to bring me up to speed on history or storylines that would take far too much money (or space!) if I was to buy them as individual comics. So…for what its worth, that’s where I come in on that issue. I just don’t double dip.

I am curious about the 3.99 price though…how recently has that become an issue, and what was the industry’s response to the (inevitable) initial outcry by the fans?
