I was reading wizard, and it mentions how 'waiting for the tpbs' hurt she hulks sales, but eventually saved it from cancellation because the tpb sales were so strong.
I was thinking....I prefer tpbs. I don't have to go to my store every month, it probably saves cash overall, and I get a whole story arc without having to wait six months of cliffhangers to see its conclusion. and also they are way more durable than your average comic.
Now what do you guys think about a tpb only type future? Where the writers and artists actually finish the arc and release it all as one tpb, which would cut down on appalling delays (Ult. Hulk vs Wolverine, I'm looking at you). It would be easier to collect, imo, and just be a better way since you don't wait months and months for it to be finally collected, and therefore be months behind current avents (ie im dying for civil war to be done and collected as a tpb, and waiting for the next new x men and astonishing and exiles, among other tpbs).
sort of like television seasons boxed set....one arch is released in tpb, then a few months later, the next, and so on and so forth. Maybe one every month or two...
what do you guys think?
