My feeling is the sticking point for a lot of readers is that $4 gets them a chapter, not a complete story or anything resembling it. That said, if this is really their aim (and i'm not convinced that it is), then more power to them.

Although the store had everything imaginable - shoes, shirts, dishes, snow globes, masks, books, and calendars - NEVER ONCE did we see a Disney comic book in the store.
