That blog posting was pretty insightful - it shows that comics books are being destroyed for the same reason that all other media is being destroyed - short sighted bean counters pandering to visceral thrills, resulting in short-term gain but massive long-term loss. They're forgetting that they need to invest in creating a market - ie enjoyable quality material that people will want to come back for.
"Catering to the tastes of the lowest members of society- the people who want sex, violence, razzle-dazzle, and constant titillation of their
senses-is what makes civilizations go down the drain. History proves this; when literature and art start to degenerate, it's a sign that the
public is not getting what it needs but what it needs least: pandering to the wants of the lowest, most mindless of its members." - C.C. Beck
