Roster of titles

With Marvel cutting back on the number of titles being released...

Do you think they should keep the number of titles to a small number or resume their massive amount of titles?

Definitely not at the same level. This could be a blessing in disguise. They need to cut the amount of titles regardless.

This is the 7th thread you’ve started asking basically the same question.

They should release even more than before.

I will post one answer here rather then in everyone of these threads.

I think this is a good time for each of the big two to look at what has been selling in physical form. Take some of the lower selling titles and turning them digital and see if they sell at the same level. Dont flood the market with smaller books that only have a cult following.

This would also be a good time to expand their digital presence. I know that a lot of people are opposed to this but to be honest this is something that is going to happen down the line any way so why not get the ground work going for it.

I would turn Marvel Unlimited into a tiered service. Rather then just one price for books that are six months behind maybe have a higher monthly fee for people who want it and have that tier have books that are a couple months behind or even current.

No they don't. They do need to change how they're released. Some titles do pathetically in the direct market. So don't bother. Do those titles digital exclusive and only print them in TPB format. If something does gangbusters in bookstores, but can't sell in the direct market, then doing that makes sense. Instead, half the time stuff ends up cancelled prematurely. It's very rare that they realise their mistake and fix it - Unstoppable Wasp was one such case, they brought it back with the same writer and the story actually came to it's intended conclusion, with only minor changes on account of Nadia's change of team affiliation in the meantime (her Avengers team disbanded and she joined the Champions).
