DC Comics Retroactively Add $3.99 Standard Comic PricesYesterday, Bleeding Cool reported that DC were upping the prices of the second issues of a couple of standard-sized DCU titles to $3.99, Mighty Crusaders and Time Masters, as well as the first issue of Emerald Warriors, as well as upping the Vertigo standard-sized title American Vampire to $3.99 as well.

I now understand that the first standard-sized issues of Mighty Crusaders and Time Masters shipping in July will now also be priced at $3.99, as well as the first issue of Wildstorm title Welcome To Tranquility: One Foot In The Grave.

I stated, regarding the quote from Dan DiDio that they would hold the line for the $2.99 standard sized comic as long as possible, that this was eight months.

Turns out it was seven.

The last post generated some commentary regarding inflation and comic prices. I refer readers to this article that points out that comics have only been beaten in price rises by gold, slurpees, entrance to the Empire State Building and copies of the New York Times.

And nothing else.
