I'm a Marvel and DC reader and I definitely can't admit that this is the kick in the butt the industry needed and I'm not really sure how I feel about this article. I'd love to see some data that supports the idea that sales are falling due to disinterested readers and people pirating comics. What's the total loss in revenue due to pirating? Plus I think it's way too soon to say that DC's reviving the industry, especially from a couple months of high sales that may or may not have been fueled by speculation, and personal comic shop experience isn't evidence enough to support that. I'm hyped that DC books are doing well (Animal Man has been my favorite #1 so far) but the idea that a company spanning reboot might revive the comic book industry just seems like a bit of a stretch right now.
