"Graphic Novel" or "integral"

In this post, I again offer my opinion. Is that the last entries are also of opinion, but I think it's worth saying here too.

sales this month, according to the following entry: http://www.icv2.com/articles/news/18753.html are simply a disaster. Or eight million, or half a million or hundred thousand.
Yes, I have said, the best-selling comic in the U.S. this month's Uncanny X-Force # 1 has sold 95,639 copies.

The worst is not that it is as this entry from the same page: http://www.icv2.com/articles/news/18754.html in 2010 has been a market loss of 4 percent. But there is another story on the same page, announcing that the Earth One Superman graphic novel by Joe Michael Straczynski has sold 16,260 copies. You can read it here: http://www.icv2.com/articles/news/18752.html

And add to this information, I read in the following entry: http://www.newsarama.com/comics/jms- earth-one-sequel-101110.html Mr. Straczynski, leaving the monthly comic devoted to the sequel to Superman Earth One

All this leads me to say, and confirm my view that the American comics market has to leave a business model comic "staple" and start publishing monthly Graphic Novels. As I mentioned in a previous post, but for Spain, or begin to give the public an attractive product, or disappear.

Ditto for the French market, which has to stop publishing "album" and start running integrals.

And because of all this is simple: a game like "call of duty" on the market now costs about $ 40, and gives the buyer a fun ... for about 70 hours. A comic $ 4 a fun and gives the buyer of about 15 minutes.

The numbers do not come out.

comics are just too expensive. When comics cost 35 cents, and had 24 pages, as if it was a product appealing to the reader. But not now. You can not sell a cheap product with a high price.

Both the French and American market, have changed their thinking and begin the process of transforming a monthly staple monthly graphic novel, or the whole album. Who cares who lose money on advertising in comics staple in USA, if every time you are going to be paying less for this?
Why
publishing three issues of Amazing Spiderman, if you could take a month for 66 pages?

are not inventing anything. Only by doing something they should have done in 1978 when William Erwin Eisner popularized the concept of graphic novels. And if you do not understand, to look at the numbers. I help them. I am available to anyone who wants to put this into practice.

I can not conclude this post, without highlighting something that has frozen the blood: Steve Rude, almost thrown out of her house, because it does not work for pay, when would be a great artist for graphic novels.
