4 bucks for 10-15 minutes of entertainment is not worth it.
With 10 bucks you can watch a 90 minutes to 2 hour movie with infinitely bigger production value than a mere floppy comic. With 60 bucks you can play vidyas, up to 20 hour of solid single player or countless hours online. This is minus some Steam discount where you can get a lot of old classics like RE4 for 10 bucks. With 8 bucks per month you get Netflix and countless hours of entertainment. With 0 bucks there are countless hours of LP, Youtube videos and shows you can watch.
On the other side, for the artist it doesn't make any sense to work for 5 bucks a page while you can get 100-200 bucks per page drawing on Patreon. That's where a lot of top talent of the generation goes, straight to Patreon.
At least with anime/manga industry when you hit a jackpot like Toriyama or Oda, you get full creative ownership of a million dollar franchise. Being comic writer/artist at Marvel/DC, the megacorps own all rights to the character you invented. The Western comic industry has no place in today's entertainment landscape, especially the weekly floppy subs and pull model. It is a novelty hobby for aging middle aged and old man just like making model trains. This is why comics are dying
