Are comic books shorter in length (pause) now?

[Mr Hate Coffee]

I just got a new job at a company working with DC so I get a lot of free comic books to read for research purposes.

I swear each issue goes by so fast and barely anything of consequence happens?

Has it always been like this? I haven't read comic books in years.

Less pages, yet the prices keep going up. I think the average comic book is 20-23 pages these days. Sometimes it seems like there's hardly any dialogue. Single issues definitely aren't worth the money anymore and I don't pay retail for trades.

congrats

haha thanks. I need to edit my post. I don't work for DC but with a company that has a partnership with them. I don't want people to think that I'm out here telling duck tales.

Yeah man, I'm fortunate have multiple issues at one time so I'm blown that it takes like 5 issues for anything to happen to move the plot. It's a shame what the industry has become.

22 pages. Always remembered it being 22, did it use to be bigger? What do you do for DC?
