I might have to check this out at some point. 9 bucks only sounds steep compared to a big superhero book. Here we have a niche fetish comic , full color, amazingly drawn. I mean Commissioning this was probably 100 bucks a page or so. That's potentially 2000$ , divide that by the 9 dollar asking price and over 200 copies need to sell to break even.
So 9 bucks isn't at all that steep. Also consider that the only similar service- bestory archive , if its even still around , cost what 30 bucks a month?
If more of us come out and buy this, maybe the next one can sell for 7$
