Kids don't buy comics anymore

I haven't seen many kids buying comics. Not like when I was kid at least. Comics are expensive now. I quit buying them because they got too expensive. I remember you used to be able to buy a collection of comics each month for $5. Now you'd spend $100. What kid can afford a graphic novel these days? Some of them are selling for $40 a piece. Comics are for kids anymore I guess. They are targeting collectors who were kids in the 80s.

Comic collectins is getting so stupid these days anyways. Comics became collectors items because when I was kid we read the comic and read them a lot. They got used and fell apart. The ones that remained became collectors items. Now you have comics going into plastic and never being read. Everyone and thier dog and collections of comic in a box somewhere it seems and really the whole collection is worth less than the intial investment unless you can find someone stupid enough or desparate enough to buy the collection.
