Image Comics’ Glory is going up in price from $2.99 to $3.99 with #29, according to the solicitations. When asked about the increase on Twitter, writer Joe Keatinge explained the reality of comics:
Attn: Folks Asking About Glory Price Hike. Word from @imagecomics was that we either raised the price or ended the series prematurely. I personally want to see Glory to its natural end. If you have any other questions about it, send ‘em straight to the source, @imagecomics. Glory’s end is currently ‘to be continued’. Word on that will come when word on that is ready to come. The extra $1 ensures we get there.
When asked if readers “should be worried” about his creator-owned Image series, Hell Yeah, Keatinge offered a simple “Nope.”

Sadly, The Beat’s monthly indie sales report sheds a little light on the situation.

I personally have been enjoying Glory! If it was a continuation of previous incarnation, I would not have given the title a thought. And yes, I bought issues of Glory when the creative team was Jo Duffy, Mike Deodato & company.

That’s another series I’m dropping.

Shame it’s not selling better. Still, I’d rather pay $3.99 for a struggling indy comic than a Disney/WB franchise book.
