No, comics work as a testing ground for what story lines are worth putting actual money into other mediums.

Dude even marvel at it's worst right now still has a big chunk of the comic market,if fucking image can survive of the scraps at the bottom,I'm sure Marvel can survive not being in the top 10 all the time,The sales being low are a problem but not nearly bad enough to kill of marvels comic division

The only image book in the top ten was saga,Marvel and dc dominate the top 40 with a few titles like invincible,tmnt and lost light in the mix.When EVERY marvel title is below the top 200 then I'll listen to these claims and that will never happen thanks to character fags(looking at you spideyfags,Slott is your own fault),the fact marvels flagship books aren't in the top 10 is worrying though

No, it shouldn't. Low sales numbers does not mean people should expect Marvel (well, Disney's Marvel division) to give up making comics. Cut back their lineup, _maybe_, but to stop? That's stupid, and you're stupid if you expect it to happen.

It stands to reason that smalelr companies earn more since they don't spend as much to produce the comics to begin with

While Marvel produces A LOT expecting to earn A LOT MORE

I'll say it again,as long as most marvel comics sell above 20k there still far from total shutdown,when the top 200 hundred are all dc/image and IDW then the rumours would be somewhat plausible

My understanding is that Image operates a completely different business model than Marvel and DC. Even if we had real numbers, which again nobody has, I'm not sure you could make a direct comparison

I heard that people at image earn more because the money is going to the people working on the comics, which is the whole company.

They don't have a Quesada, Bendis, Brevoort, Perlmutter person taking all the money over the rest.

I think that Image is more about letting people earn money with their comics, making them into tv shows and so on.

Whatever happened to the CHEW tv show???

Image is essentially a vanity press, creators pay up front to see their work in print. So in theory you can make bank in practice you are taking on a shit load of extra work plus all the risk that an established publisher would normally take for you.

I think this would be wonderful! No more shitty Marvel comics. Image, the world is on fire; be ready to make your move when this dumpster fire of a comic company finally dies.

once you clear the overhead of printing, marketing and any percentage Image takes off, anything more than that goes straight to the creative team.

but the creative team is also in charge of all design and hiring (colorist, editor, letterer, anyone). Anything that goes wrong is on the creators (Fraction and Ward had to get the Ody-C year ones re printed because of a printing error that was found after a couple thousand books were already shipped)

but yes, they do make more money overall, because they get direct profit from their works, unlike DC/Marvel where they get a steady page rate (say a couple hundred dollars per page)

This is the answer. To draw and print a few papers cost nothing. And it serves to test and create new movie characters

You need to redirect your ire to Marvel comics. I was a happy little X-Men fan until they decided to fuck over my favorite characters. I've heeded Joe Quesada's sage advice.

I don't like how Marvel is treating Beast.
I don't care for Marvel throwing Emma Frost under a bus for the Inhumans.
I don't much like how they've turned Cyclops into a mutant terrorist.
I don't much care for their business practices.

I'm not spending $5 to $6 dollars an issue for things I don't want to read, and have been instructed by people working at Marvel to not purchase if I am dissatisfied with the product.

Again, redirect your ire towards Marvel.

Deleted Anon assumed I was a DC fan, and therefore I was shitting all over "muh Marvel." I wanted to inform anon my displeasure with Marvel Comics was because of Marvel. It has nothing to do with DC.
