Yesterday, news broke that the already scheduled Batman #35-37 will be making the jump to 30 pages of story in a 40-page issue, meaning the cover price goes up from $3.99 to $4.99 USD. Next week's Batman #35 kicks off Endgame, Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo's next big storyline, and while there hasn't been complete outrage over this, there is some frustration from the comic book community. Well, it seems Snyder isn't exactly on board with the price hike either, tweeting that he and Capullo have spoken with DC to lower the cover price.
Another thing worth mentioning: Batman is DC's best-selling title, consistently hitting the top of the monthly charts for the past few years, despite the fact the cover price has jumped around -- starting at $2.99 at the inception of the New 52, then moving up to $3.99, with prices of five, six, seven, even eight dollars for seperate issues throughout its three-year run. I'm sure that many readers are willing to pay the extra dollar per issue, as the content inside is always fantastic, but what do you guys think? Are you going to keep (or pick up) reading Snyder and Capullo's Bat-book, or will it mean an extra four dollars kept in your wallet?
