And in the old days? They'd consolidate books, you'd end up with a book like Batman Family which would also take chances with odder creators(Michael Golden back then, say) and have a price like that but give you lots of comics to make up for it.
I'm sorry, but to pay that much per month for something that takes me about ten minutes or less to read? They're going to have to go to a digital subscription model to survive. Otherwise I'm perfectly content with what ends up here, and I can use my actual comic-buying money for BERLIN or AGE OF BRONZE or something else that gives value for money. I mean, the new LEAGUE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENTLEMEN cost me 8 bucks two months ago, asnd I'm still enjoying it.
