I'd definitely buy them along with Amazing Spider-Man, Batman and Robin, and Superman.

A year or two ago I would've been the first person to say "Where the hell's our comic, DC?"

Today, it's pretty obvious the industry is dying. Sales for both Marvel and DC are lower than they've been in a long, long time. Even the top selling books are lucky now to hit 100,000 sales a month and that's pretty serious. People just don't want to pay three or four bucks for only twenty pages of story, especially when both companies stories have gotten so bad, DC is addicted to rebooting their whole universe over and over again, which causes people to stop giving a shit what's going on, and Marvel has an actual policy now to kill off and/or bring back a major character every quarter as a sales stunt.
Maybe switching to digital will help, but I doubt it since piracy has already beaten them to that and why pay a dollar for what you can get for free?

I doubt either companies are going away for a long-ass time.

Well of course the companies can't die. DC is owned by Warner Bros. and Marvel by Disney, so they can afford to lose money. And both make much more in merchandise, films, and TV now than they do on comics.

My point is that making a comic book isn't particularly profitable anymore.

DC has just about rebooted every fucking thing to try and drum up sales.

Retconned Power Girl. (Apparently)

POR QUE?

I do think the trouble with comics at the moment is that there are so many of them that are all linked together.

I got "Joker's Last Laugh" and it had a "See issue 53 of Gotham Knights" style thing in the corner. I dont know what was really but off the top of my head the amount of comics in the Batman thing was 5-6 and at $3 or something its silly.

I think they gotta embrace and promote digital media a bit more now. They have been way too slow IMO.

I reckon there might be a chance for a MK comic though. My guess is drum up on of those e-Petitions that never work. Maybe to serve as hype for MK 10.

And if we get Alex Ross to do the cover work then all the better.

That's another problem. When video game franchises get comics, it's always a short, relatively pointless to read tie-in to whatever's about to come out or just recently has come out. You never get an ongoing series that starts at the beginning and tells the whole story of that universe, not like you would with a comic based on a TV show or movie or something, like the Transformers or Star Wars series.

The closest I've ever seen is that most of the stories to Halo and Starcraft, from backstory to novelizations of the games, have been fully explored in actual BOOK books, y'know, novels. But never comics.

I'd be interested in MK Novels if they came out. There seems to be very few series of books that follow a similar concept. Not to mention the potential for an in-depth story is there.

I think comic companies can survive if the put more focus on the graphic novel and trade paperback market. I don't want actually comic books to disappear but paying 4 bucks and issue is pretty ridiculous.
