Sorry to sound non-pro DL, the artist is paid crap to draw and we can't be certain how true that DL-er will buy but buying TPs/HCs is not actually contributing to the actual comics as certain comics would be pull-out if sales drop below certain printing numbers.

TPs/HCs only comes much later which by then, editorial mandate of killing the title is already issued.

Yes, we do get some crappy comics but then, isn't it that we learn which team is contributing to the comics before we buy?

If you are Jim Lee or David Finch - yes.

How about others non-superstars ??? Could they command so much per page ? And can Jim Lee draw like 6 comics a month ?? With so many books in publications, surely newbies would have chance to draw and they are paid well?

STGCC - Singapore Toys Games Comics Convention on 10-12/12/2010 interested ? Salvador Larocca will be there.

Synch, Husk, M, Skin and Blink find themselves in the crosshairs, while Jubilee, Banshee and the White Queen are all that's left to save them! But in order to defeat the Phalanx, one will make the ultimate sacrifice. Then, it's the dawning of a new day as Xavier's School opens its doors once again! Jubilee says goodbye to the XMen as she joins the fl edgling Generation X, along with the sullen Chamber and the mysterious Penance-but when the marrowsucking monster known as Emplate strikes, will any of the new students survive their baptism of fi re?
