A smaller more nimble publisher could make it profitable. The last time I was at the DC offices was in 96. The chairs in the reception room were actually art pieces by Shiro Kuramata (How High the Moon chair). Manhattan real estate Is ridiculous expensive. I can get Batman made from my shed and the end user would not see a difference in quality. Their overhead is stupid high for them. yep and go back to newsprint so people can actually read the books without constant shifting because of the glare problem.

I could see them being interested in DC. If graphic novels are the winners of the Darwinian comics publishing formant struggle, how could the largest US mainstream publisher resist? Penguin Random House Buys Simon & Schuster For Over $2 Billion (bleedingcool.com) Apparently I'm not the only one speculating that Penguin Random House (and now Simon & Schuster) might be interested in DC.

I have to wonder how much office space they use nowadays (particularly post covid), but even before then. it isn't a business where you necessarily need much of a central office. editors and other talent can work from anywhere.

Coverless 9.8 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 People consume content in different ways today than years past. For instance, I used to pay for comics and now I don't. I hope that lack of revenue isn't hurting creators or causing a disincentive to produce such content. Heck! Even lawyers do pro bono work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I was referring to the Esterification of your comic. But then again some heat and a nice press will probably clean that up nicely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
