It is 80% off the cover price.
This not only doesn't increase the number of copies of the other Valiant comics out there but has already generated a significant amount of ill will.
What puzzles me is the guys at Valiant seem much smarter and more aware than this. I don't understand how this sort of mistake was made by them.
That being the case. In the example the return goes from $0.80 per dollar on $100 to $0.06 per dollar on $256. That is a terrible deal for resellers. As a reseller you are now more likely to support Valliant even less not more.

This one I have mixed feelings on. I have actually been vocal about comics needing more ads. We went from having what I saw as a normal amount of ads when I was a kid, to slowing having virtually no ads, to books being completely full of only house ads. Mainly at the big two we have slowly seen a return to paid ads over the last few years. All other publishers I have noticed still seem to be unable to sell advertising. When I say that I mean "real ads", ads as in not just house ads or ads for some other product of the parent company but an actual ad that was sold and paid for by someone wishing to advertise their product. Comics use to be full of ads, and in some ways the ads are part of the fun of going through older back issues. One would also hope that advertisers would help subsidize the cost of comics keeping prices at the current level or even bringing them down perhaps.
All of that being said, I'm not do thrilled with story pages being split up with ads. What are some of your thoughts?
