But the short version is while the merger is bad and will likely lead to a slew of layoffs due to redundancies, there's nothing really in Paramount's portfolio that matches DC Comics.
Alex ZalbenHOST
2:48
And in addition, DC has been profitable, thanks to the success of the Absolute Universe line, Compact Comics, and more, which is all good news.
Alex ZalbenHOST
2:56
Except to add on some additional commentary to what Heidi said, comics divisions like DC and Marvel have flown under the radar because they are small, don't make much money... and have more worth as idea generation machines.
Alex ZalbenHOST
3:09
Once any division starts to gain steam, people up the chain like to get involved because it looks good for them.

Winston A. MarshallHOST
6:02
The Marvel ones, they're not understanding the purpose, and they're charging $15 when a lot of their stuff is like $25 or $30.
Winston A. MarshallHOST
6:10
And then DC Compact Comics, these are typically ranging around $10.
Winston A. MarshallHOST
6:14
So yeah, so like I've read Court of Owls, but a long time ago.
Brock SagerHOST
16:41
It's a flip-flop,
Ryan HigginsHOST
16:41
right? Yeah, if you remember their Marvel premiere line that was sort of their, like, not really attempt at doing the DC Compact comics, which were a big, big hit, they have actually announced a new line that will be...

Um, I basically, I, I, long just ignored the marvel retailer group there's no reason like you couldn't even post in it you could like there was no like they wouldn't take any advice whenever we asked them something they'd just be like no you know like they'd never tell us what's coming up they would never
Kevin SharpHOST

Ryan HigginsHOST
20:55

Well, let's talk about Dark Horse.
TadHOST

And they're joining the Compact Comics game, starting with some Black Hammer and some Witcher and I think a Hellboy volume, but I don't remember.
TadHOST
9:31
I

And as a bonus, the book will feature a cover quote by Olivia James, the pseudonym for the writer-artist who preceded Cash on the title.
Alex ZalbenHOST

DC's Compact Comics continue to be a huge hit in stores, but more than that, a game-changer for the entire industry.
Alex ZalbenHOST
3:28
And in better late-than-never news, Dark Horse Comics will publish its own line of compact editions starting in May of 2027.
Alex ZalbenHOST
3:35
First off, they're doing it the right way, i.e. basically aping DC to publish paperbacks in a 5.5 by 8.5 inch trim size for only $9.99.
Patrick BrowerHOST
27:14
And I found that really fascinating because that's the comic shop thing.
Patrick BrowerHOST
27:18
is this feeling of, you know, no one's reading anything and it's like, holy shit, I have, you know, people in their teens and 20s that are constantly buying comic books and reading them and enjoying them and talking to their friends about them and getting excited about DC Compact Comics and Midnight Books and Image Comics and manga and so much other stuff.
Patrick BrowerHOST
27:40
