Brian Hibbs: ComicsPro Meeting Good, Jim Lee Used Props

I'm not sure how to provide coverage of the ComicsPro meeting considering I couldn't afford to attend and much of the good that comes from a get-together like that is hard to measure or even, frankly, track down. Readers of this site should be familiar enough with the voice and perspective of retailer and industry advocate Brian Hibbs to read this post and get some sense of how things went.

Hibbs shares a visual metaphor employed by Jim Lee to make a point about the profits involved with print comics and with digital comics. The point that Lee was making to that particular audience should be pretty clear. But as someone not in that audience my first reaction would be to question why it's so important that publishers find the same level of profitability with digital media that they had with print media. If they can't find that same level of profitability, maybe that says something about the relative value of those publishers in the digital age.
