The thing is, a comic will require:
Writer
Penciller
Inker
Colourist
Letterer
Assistant Editor
Editor
Digital Archiver/Production
These people all need paying and that's before the website space/courier fees, printing, distribution, Diamond listing etc. etc.
You can't reasonably expect these people to produce at a loss - that's makes no sense in any business.
Makes sense; no argument. Hope Marvel wouldn't produce at a loss; I don't want them to. G/A-F
The problem with that is that looking at any
numbers threads, (I need to do October and November soon enough)issues drop from month to month for whatever reason (readers giving up comics, increase in taxes/expenditure, digital piracy etc. etc.) so that will extremely quickly drop to a negative equity figure, especially for a non-traditional title. A healthy figure is around the 40,000 mark.
