Bleeding Cool was also the first to point out last month that DC Comics was moving to the $3.99 price point for print monthly comics, while their twice-monthly comics and digital comics remain at $2.99.

I have been informed by multiple sources that while sales for DC Comics are up, the $2.99 price point has meant that revenue is down – for both DC Comics and the retailers that sell them. Without the new $3.99 price point, they've have been screwed.

The buy-physical-pay-digital offer should help – but you won't have to wait long before the $2.99 twice-monthly titles to catch up.
