    Can we bring prices down to a $1.99? YES WE CAN.

    Long as you remember that the issue isn’t just price, it’s *value.*

    But I’m curious, and eager to see where you’re going with this.

    This is a chance for everyone who complains about 3.99 to put their money where their mouths are. If everyone goes out and buys this relaunch it will send a message to the other publishers about over pricing. Strange that there has only been one post so far….

    I’m interested in their idea on how to deliver comics for $1.99. Very interested.

    I am eager to hear about this, though it is not ME he needs winning over since Vampirella is my #1 ever :) and this editor has yet to let me down!!!

    It is about time Vampirella returns from the dead! (pun intended) Hopefully this incarnation of Vampy will be more than a T & A Gorefest, like some of the previous versions. Vampirella has alot of potential, and with a good writer and artist it could be great again. At $1.99 I will definately give it a look!

    1.99? Looking good so far!

    One has to wonder if this pricing scheme will continue past the first issue and, if so, for how long? I would love to see an on-going title at the $1.99 price point but I wonder if there will be a reduction of pages or if this is just a short term promotion. If Untold Tales of Spider-Man proved anything, the price of the comic has nothing to do with the quality.

  12. Riding Ghost Says:

    Vampirella AND $1.99? SOLD! SOLD! SOLD!

  13. Hollow Says:

    “Second Coming”? Shouldn’t this rather be “Fifth Coming” or “Tenth Coming”? How many relaunches have there been?

    But $1.99 is a great idea. Might test it myself depending on the art team. Curious how long they can keep the prices before Diamond says “No!” to distributing them because they don’t reach their stupid “benchmark”.
