It's the difference between having a team of people vs working alone.

The comic book industry at a minimum would have a writer, artist, editor. In reality they have an entire ecosystem of people because they are a corporation.

If it wasn't for the proceeds from doing movies with non-creator-owned IP, I doubt that Marvel and DC would still exist.

I would love it if they went subscription based for access to old digital releases and pay-as-you-go for 6 month old content.

There's a lot of former comic book geeks who have gotten out of the habit because shelling out $100-150 a month on comics is kind of ridiculous when you have a mortgage, day care, and car payments and don't even have time to read comics anyways.
