Lumineers, FUN, Imagine Dragons, Mumford & Sons & Gotye all with new songs on the radio was such a good era... Compared to now, that is.

Real talk for #CAGov : Look at this aggregate polling. The field is overcrowded. #Democratic candidates need to turn it up to 12 or bow out. With vote splitting, we could seriously see a Bianco vs Hilton general in #California. Don't assume we won't turn red. Lock in or wind it down. #Election2026

And if needed, you can always subsidize the lower-tier model with ads if you have to.

And for the Local Comic Shops (LCS)? Let them sell the subs and get a kickback.
We can honor physical sales while finally entering the 21st century on digital accessibility.
Stop leaving money on the table.

The hidden value is data. Publishers currently track sales to shops, not reads by customers.
This model would show DC exactly what people are actually reading and interested in day-one. Current tracking is sorely outdated.

No back catalog. Just the new stuff.
If you want the library, you pay premium. If you just want to keep up with the conversation now, you pay the cheap sub.
This lowers the barrier to entry and kills piracy the same way Spotify did for music.

The comics industry is leaving money on the table by not converting pirates. Shouting and shaming doesn't work.
The fix? A "Day & Date" digital sub that is actually affordable.
Imagine a tier ($7-$15/mo) that gives you new releases Day & Date, but only keeps the last 4 weeks unlocked.

You complete the trinity with Duke Thomas (The Signal).

He has Light AND Shadow powers. He is the bridge.

• Luke = Sun ☀️

• Jace = Moon 🌙

• Duke = Twilight ⚖️

He walks between them, keeping the balance. He’s the "Nightwing" of the West Coast—the glue holding the Dynasty together.
