Would you buy a 30 page comic for $5?

A braintrust question for you, as you rush off to buy your Wednesday fix of comics, and you lament the upcoming price hike from $3 to $4. Please take a second to consider…

The average comic gives you around 22 pages of story and art. And there are a lot of marginal titles out there that probably will be axed. There are also a lot of comics writers and artists without regular assignments and idle time on their hands. Would it be a better deal to bump the price to $5 and raise the page count to 30?

Surely there would be a lot of books this could work for. Spider-Man is already published three times a month, an eight page back up story would be the equivalent of an extra issue a month now.

Or do you think that in this economy, five dollars is just too much for any comic, even one with 30 pages of story and art?
