They're like 4 bucks online and the expensive books run maybe to 6 bucks and they come out once a month? Like I'm poor af too and I gotta pick and choose what I'm gonna pick up that month/week but it's worth it to know you're giving the creators
what they need so they can keep making decent comics. Like??? DL and then buy if u need to figure out where to spend ur money but /buy them/. And don't just wait for the tpbs tbh :|
Once a month IF that. If anything comics are one of the more affordable industries to support, and one that needs reader support. Especially because they judge their reader base and popularity based on sales. Like, if you want to send a message about what you like to read, you can do it directly by spending money on what it is you’re in to. It’s really that simple. Then the publishers will continue green lighting the content everyone’s after because it’s profitable.
So much work goes into every comic book, each one has been seen to by sometimes multiple artists, colorists, the writer(s) and the editing. Just like anything else, if you want to support these people, you pay them for their work. Not to mention provide revenue for comic shops, which are usually independently owned small businesses in CONSTANT need of support. Comics are a fringe hobby still, it was the cinematic universe that arguably frickin saved it as an art form way back when. I’m surprised comics even survived the 90′s to be honest.
tl;dr: support what you love, comics aren’t unreasonable, 20+ pages of bitchin art at least.
