 COMICS & COMIC BOOKS
I really think the idea of calling the squarebound 52-64 page magazines of the 30s comic "books" was a stroke of marketing genius, and they came closer to deserving it than their smaller descendants.
Some important books of comics are Maus, by Art Spiegelman; Stuck Rubber Baby, by Howard Cruse; and such collections as Cerebus by Dave Sim; Sandman, by Neil Gaiman and various artists; and Love and Rockets, by Jaime and Gilbert Hernandez.
Whenever people talk about the "comics industry" they always talk about "comic books" (magazines).

As you can see by the cover to the left from Sandman #52, his work has gone far beyond making a cover a mere accessory to the contents of a comic book - it is truly a work of art in itself.
But Sandman is by no means the only Vertigo comic to have impressive cover art; indeed all of the titles bear cover art that is created by some of the most talented artists working in the comic book industry.
The twelve part series is actually a reprint of the original series (which was published in 1983-84 and was the first fully painted comic book series in America).

Most movies are one and a half to two hours long and a comic adaptation is usually only 48 to 52 pages.
The writer said his biggest influence on this tale, outside of the screen play he was given to work with, was the comics he read growing up.

In July 2005 it was announced that after the events of Infinite Crisis, the DC Universe would jump forward in time one year and a weekly 52 issue series (with a working title of 52) would be published which would fill in the missing year.

 Preacher: Dead or Alive (Preacher (DC Comics)) >> The Virginia Biker Network Motorcycle News and Information
As a longtime of Garth Ennis' legendary DC/Vertigo comic Preacher, I was very excited to see this collection, which promised not only every Glenn Fabry cover from the series, related mini-series and one-shots, and trade paperbacks, but commentary by Fabry and Ennis, behind-the-scenes stuff like sketches and rejected covers.
The most glaring omission is the original cover from Preacher #52; The depiction of an 8 year-old Tulip getting a gun for Christmas from her Dad was scrapped because of the Columbine school shootings.
Undoubtadly one of the best comic series' ever created since the Sandman, Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon's Preacher saga is still one of the most revered and beloved comics of all time.

Now, I have no problems affording my little hobby of comics, but with the way Marvel is going with the standard 2.99 an issue I just think it is getting to be too much for a comic.
If I get to my comic shop and I only have three comics to pick up I find myself wondering around the store looking for my comics or maybe some trade to lie in the pile with the others I have yet to read.
I don't care what they say, comics are making a profit for the industry, if it wasn't they die.
