    According to some of the voices in Marvel, most notably Bendis, there are a significant number of people that read Marvel comics primarily on MU. They are often suddenly confronted with social media messages taking them to task about books published on this delayed schedule.

    sub based model seems like the future TBH

    it is how I get any of my curious acquaintances into comics.


    Unless you need to discuss comics in real time (like on forums), there really is no drawback to being 6months behind

    Sucks, doesn't it. I guess they don't want to step on Panini's toes. MU releases stories before they do (they're about a year behind - current issues involve Apocalypse Wars and Standoff).

    Yep. This. I can just imagine the outcry from comic shop owners if Marvel reduces the delay. Seriously though, comic shops are already kinda niche retailers for comic collectibles. Might as well own it.
    Currently Following:
    Action Comics, Deathstroke, Red Hood and the Outlaws, Super Sons, Superman, Superwoman, Teen Titans, Titans, Trinity, Wild Storm, Monstress, I Hate Fairyland, Black Monday Murders, Kill Or Be Killed, Redlands, Crosswind, Astonishing X-Men, Captain America, Daredevil, Defenders, Hawkeye, Tales of Suspense, American Gods, Animosity, Black Eyed Kids, Red Sonja

    I guess it will take Marvel biting the bullet and producing some digital first or digital only comics (as opposed to Infinite Comics) before they are tempted into this. As the percentage of the market shifts away from shops, the day will probably come. Just not for a few years yet.

    When Marvel started producing comics back in 1939, the business model they used relied upon newstands. In the 1980's, newstands were going out of business left and right, so they adapted to the current model of direct sales to specialty comic book stores. I am under no illusion that they would shift to a digital platform and do direct sales themselves, which they have already did with their Marvel Unlimited and Marvel Digital Store front. The days of comic book shop owners dictating to Marvel what is good for Marvel's business is over.
