About the only other comic about comics from around 2012 that I can remember is The Gutters.

Are you talking about Comic Critics? It ran on Comics Should Be Good from about 2008 to 2013 when Sean and I put the comic on "hiatus".
The comic has its own site where all the comics are hosted....
I'd be surprised we don't see DC startup a "streaming service" for comics in the next few years. Marvel has their Unlimited service but that is 6 months behind new releases. And comiXology has their...
Another option would direct digital sales and then print trades. That would cut monthly print cost (though digital does have it's own costs) and the middle man costs (Diamond/Comixology). They could...
DC/Marvel have ads. They even have ad rates. Though in DC's case they stopped posting their ad rates to the public since 2015

Here is a listing of retailers that carry Alterna comics.

Newstands have their own "problems" due to returnable sales and their not being as many as their used to be. Ads are tricky as well due print ad revenue dropping and DC/Marvel not having large enough...
That was part of my point. DC and Marvel print comics on such high volumes that their cost-per-unit is already pretty low. Switching paper and ink will could only lower them a little more.
But even...
I've read most of the thread. And I work in printing/publishing so I know the cost. And I and along with others have addressed why comparing Alterna (a single person running pretty much everything,...
Only if you can more than double your sales.
As stated elsewhere, DC/Marvel using newsprint will not lower their production cost by that much or even at all depending on their high volume...
Alterna has been around since 2006. They've published various indie comics over the years.
Though in 2011, they did start an Indiegogo campaign to help them from going out of business. Which...
Part of the reason Alterna can slash their costs of production using newsprint is they were printing in low quantity. Their titles tend to debut at slightly below 3000 copies such as Croak, Amazing...
Social media such as Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, and Reddit have replaced dedicated forums for fans who want to interact/discuss topics. That's why you see a lot of place like the main CBR site using...
From NY Times listing of best sellers.
(This was the last listing as the Times stopped listing graphic novels and other categories in their own categories earlier this year.)

If jut Marvel/DC, probably not since they tend to no do non-fiction and only mix in some some non-fiction real life elements. But outside of Marvel it's easy. John Lewis' March trilogy, based on...

Actually the North American comics market has has a steady increase of the past five years from from estimated $715 million in 2011 to $1.08 billion in 2016. This is mostly due to the book market...
The vBulletin attach image feature is not the best way to post an animated image. It can turn animated gifs into jpgs (such as the one you posted) due to file size limitations.

Elimination Chamber is the next Smackdown PPV on February 12, 2017. They could easily take the WWE title off Cena and put it on someone else such as Wyatt (which has been the rumor lately). So we...
I just noticed something in a post I just made:
