Aren’t the best selling comics still the stuff from Marvel and DC? Last I heard, Marvel, DC, and Image still have the biggest share of comic sales with Dark Horse Boom! Studios, Valiant and a few others all coming in as distant thirds. Comic book sales for Marvel - even at peak performance - are a loss leader. Film and merchandising profits far outstrip comic book sales. Comic book sales are more or less the food and beverage side of the Marvel empire. The sad thing is that Marvel doesn’t actually treat the comic book division accordingly and individual books are still priced at an unjustifiable premium. DC has made strides towards more reasonable pricing. I think part of the problem with Marvel comics these days is that they keep trying to make them more like the MCU, instead of letting them stand as their own thing.
