Tom, I know you can't like outright say it, but how thin is the profit margin on your books? It seems weird that Image, Boom, Dark Horse and DC can all put out larger books made with better quality materials than you guys and still be doing well. Are y'all just cheaping out on us?

I can’t speak for the financial situation of any other company, I can only speak for Marvel’s. And we set our margin and price our titles at the point we need to in order to remain profitable and operational. Other companies may have less overhead, or may pay their creators less (or less up front) or their staff less, or any number of other factors. They make those choices based on what is best to keep their business profitable and operational.
