Glenat Goes Digital – With A €4.99 Price PointThe other shoe has dropped regarding digital comics publishing in France. While the day of street protest by and on behalf of beleaguered comic book creators, is still on, mega-publisher Glenat have unveiled their digital comics publishing plans.

Calling itself Ave! Comics, Glenat have chosen a publishing model where they will make books available for download at a price of 4.99 Euros, around $7.50. And they will start publishing ten titles a month from the various Glenat imprints.

Glenat follow the usual Franco-Belgian comics tradition, publishing graphic novellas-in-a-series, that usually retail for around 12-15 Euros. So, say, the fourth trade of Terry Moore's Strangers in Paradise can be downloaded for 4.99 Euros when it retails for three times that figure.

So the question is – can the US do the same? Single issues from between $1 and $1.33? Collections from $4-$7? Would that be a price point you'd pay?
