Warren Ellis: Print Is Not Dead

I was pleased to read this short and sensible post from the writer Warren Ellis, concerning an assumption made on his behalf that because he was criticizing print science fiction magazines this was somehow an indictment against all of print. Ellis points out that he's able to make a decent living from print, and that despite its many, obvious problems the Direct Market designed to move print product has allowed that product to keep a certain level of sales potency and legitimacy. There's an unfortunate tendency in comics to advocate for the embrace of new ways of doing things through a same-time scrambling away from the old, so it's nice to read someone as influential and as forward-thinking as Ellis taking what I think is a much smarter and ultimately more fruitful position.
