This article and the comments makes me curious about the business model of the smaller publishers … you know, everyone else BESIDES the big two. I've just assumed for awhile that comic books by themselves don't turn a profit, and that Marvel and DC make their real dough on licensing and merchandising. But if that is the case, how does a Boom! Studios or a Dynamite stay in business? It occurs to me that some of my favorite books the last couple years have come from those publishers … DADOES, the Lone Ranger, Garth Ennis' Battlefields … Would Planet of the Apes ever get published at Marvel, for instance? That is a book I'm really looking forward to. Jason Wood, if you're looking for an article topic, this is very interesting to me … just how do the smaller publishers stay in business?
