Title: Lazarus: Risen Post by: Jeff on April 25, 2019, 12:36:29 AM Anyone notice that the industry is trying to gradually nudge us towards $4.99 per issue? This comic is doing it too but even more drastic.
In the Image world on ComiXolgoy, comics come out at full price. But if you can wait 1 month, the price will drop $2 as the next issue comes out at full price. A significant savings if you can wait a month, and as slow as we read around here - no problem for me. Why am I bringing this up here? Because Lazarus: Risen comes out with a cover price of $7.99. After a month it does come down and even gives you a bigger discount of dropping $3.00. Woo Hoo! Better than the normal $2 right? Wrong - because that makes the discounted price - $4.99. In fairness I need to point out - the issue has 67 pages. A lot more than the average comic. Twice the comic for twice the price? That's probably fair. But I think it's a leader to get us used to paying $5 for our comics. And in the case of Lazarus: Risen - yeah, I'll buy it. And it seems like it's a quarterly since #1 came out in March and #2 won't hit the stands until July. That won't kill the pocket book every month. |
