I'm not a doomsayer as the writer appears. Most of the OYL books are successful in boosting sales (even if only a few months). What do you think?

Since 2003, the quality of the material in
Action
and
Superman
has improved on a scale unprecedented, and sales on each title have doubled. To me, that's good news.

The 1930s-style monthly comic book is doomed. Long live the graphic novel!

That and webcomics, such as
K Metal from Krypton
and
Superman and the Secret Planet
But most read things like Sluggy Freelance or other online comics.

If you're right, it was greed (as opposed to the desire to supply a good product and make a good profit, which is not the same thing) that caused its doom.

How long can comics be sustained by core readers? The more I examine 2006's sales chart, the more I realize it really needs an influx of new readers. Some books are dropping like lead anchors. I don't know if it's price, gimmicks, creative talent, current market supply, or a combination but the industry needs to change tactics.

I believe that eventually online comics are going to be the way the publishers go. They will have to feature their products for sale "online" and have readers download the comics.

Paying for on-line comics is like paying for MP3s or movie downloads.
Lame..
I do think that Graphic Novels and TPBs are where the future is at.
That is all I buy these days.
