This will just further kill comics and drive them into a limited niche market.

I'd switch to trades for most of what I read if Marvel follows this. I don't need to read any of it that urgently. I like my current Marvel runs but going from $4 to $6? Nah, I'm not invested enough to support a price increase.

Honestly I think Monstress from Image is the only comic I absolutely wouldn't drop at $6 per issue. The art is gorgeous and the story is good. TWD Deluxe is fun but I already don't know how I'm justifying rebuying the issues simply for color when I could have the entire run for under $100.
