Thought you all might find this of some interest... Thanks to Starbrand for bringing it to light on his Surprising Comics Message Board...

Interesting. Some of those costs can be offset with ad revenues, but I don't know how much ad revenue an indie book with a 5000 print run can generate.

I'm still active on the Surprising board, supporting some of the smaller publishers and Indy creators whose work I love, and some of whom I now write for. Thanks for the mention, G!
Valiant is the son of the New Universe.
