.cbr's, Image Comics, and Jim Shooter are the reasons the comic industry is constantly teetering on the edge of collapse

Yeah, ah, about that Elmo. I used to buy a lot of comics, actually. And then I had to take a hard look at my bank account and make some tough decisions. I cut out luxury items like comics, books and movies in favor of stuff like rent and food. I wish I could spend more on my favorite hobby, but fiscally it was a difficult decision.
