Very true. Although to be fair, the biggest thing killing comics is probably the publishers themselves. If they’re not charging too much for small comics, they’re screwing around their fans with their usual crappy business practices.
As an example, I have a friend who’s a HUGE comic fan and a few years ago he swore off the monthlies for good. He got sick of making a point of supporting his favourite creatives and series only to have them release “special edition” collections of an arc with additional scenes or plot or what have you.
