NEW COMICS COST HOW MUCH?!?:  Here's the price point breakdown for the Week of 08/26/15. This coming week, there are 172 NEW COMICS shipping with six price points ranging from $1.00 to $5.99. The largest concentration of books, as always, falls into the $3.99 price point with all other price points trailing far off into the back. This week sees an even stronger showing of $2.99 books attributable mainly to DC who is this weeks #1 shipper and still "Holding the Line at $2.99" at least on their new titles. There's also a wider spread of price points indicating that different segments of the market are not adverse to exploring higher cover prices. Remember, no matter what the price point, you save 15% OFF of ALL of this week's new comics all week long only at Alternate Reality!
