What neither knew was that 2,500 to 3,000 of Dahlberg's 20,000 comic-book collection would end up "easily" worth more than $1 million. "Maybe closer to $2 million," said Ed Jaster, senior vice president of Heritage Auctions.

We made some very hard choices and did the best we could over that. Rather than considering wage freezes and passing on more health care costs, I made a decision to do it a different way. One element of that cost-cutting was reducing our payroll and staff. On a personal level, it's horrible. On a company level, it's something you have to do from time to time. It's not the first time and probably won't be the last time, but for now we're hoping it is, obviously.

New Publisher Mike Kennedy Talks ARCHAIA's Digital Future

"Not just doing a flat, direct, two-dimensional presentation," said Kennedy, who called digital comis "another tool" as opposed to another market competing with the print product.

That's what's going to help sell the book, especially to new readers. You want them to open up the book, or see view the digital file on their mobile device or what-have-you, and say wow! This is a visual medium, first and foremost. That seems to have been forgotten.

THOR movie tie-in: Simonson's Omnibus? | The Beat

It's become a truism of the current comics era that a movie or TV show based on a comics property will only spark big book sales if there is a clear and defined book that ties in closely with the movie or TV show. Thus big sales for things like 300, SCOTT PILGRIM, WATCHMEN, KICK-ASS, WALKING DEAD, and so on. We'll call it the Naruto Effect, since Naruto manga sales surged upwards when it was broadcast on the Cartoon Network.

Well, ideally, they should do it properly and get Asian-American actors cast in those roles. In the adaptation they would of course be speaking in English and understandable to a popular American audience. That's the whole point.
