They will probably sell hundreds of thousands as a result. But accirding to Diamond's rules won't hit the charts….

It's been a while since the mass discounting of new comic books was not an unknown thing. Batman tried 10 cent issues, Fantastic Four went for 9 cents – it was that kind of competition. Diamond took steps.

Recently Red Sonja #'0 was launched at 25 cents, a price that Dynamite sold 100,000 copies of but lost money in the deal.

Well, in February, to celebrate 25 years of Image Comics, Skybound will be publishing The Walking Dead #163 by Robert Kirkman and Charlie Adlard, Imvincible #133 by Robert Kirkman, Ryan Ottley and Nathan Fairbairn, and Outcast #25 by Robert Kirkman, Paul Azaceta, and Elizabeth Breitwieser, will all cost 25 cents.

THE WALKING DEAD #163 begins an all-new story arc and readers are met with the aftermath of the Whisperer War.

Ryan Ottley returns as artist on INVINCIBLE #133 just as "THE END OF ALL THINGS" begins. This 12-part mega-story will touch every corner of the INVINCIBLE universe, and when it's over… IT'S OVER. Every single story for the past 13 years has been leading up to this last finale story arc.

OUTCAST BY KIRKMAN & AZACETA #25 begins an all-new story arc as well and provides a major turning point in the series. New characters are introduced and big things are in store for Kyle Barnes as he's faced with something he never could have prepared for—hope. Everything changes in this 25th issue, for $0.25, in celebration of the 25th anniversary.

A new arc of The Walking Dead, starting with a 25 cent issue? A comic that usually sells close to 100,000?

I reckon they could sell a million….
