I'm hoping a number of customers will announce they will no longer be shopping at those retailers. I think this is a good move, although it's weird that they're essentially telling print customers that a digital comic is a freebie while telling digital customers that a digital comic is worth $3.99. Hopefully the next step is to lower prices on digital copies sold by themselves.
