    To OP's point, if all new material but top tier titles came out as new TPB's on an alternating basis that flowed regular new content, maybe we could see the most repeatedly successful characters and creators then graduate to an ongoing floppy series, joining the narrow ranks of Spidey, Batman, etc. Out of print TPB's are collectible now, so these could be as well, if kept out of print. Not that it is in publishers' interests, just pointing out that TPB's can find a home as collectibles, so we can tick off that worry. (If not out of print, 1st prints anyway?) No reason these new-material TPB's couldn't have ad pages. The only hurdle to this idea that someone raised (Miraclemet) that I can't easily see overcome is the larger upfront content creation cost. That's going to take the comic publishing equivalent of Henry Ford to make the leap; someone who realizes the answer is something totally different, not just a better horse-drawn carriage. Cost-cutting is probably coming in part from reduced sales, which gives us less of the totally by hand (and more expensive) art and coloring that largely seems preferred. So the idea may have merit, but some decision-maker would have to take a leap of faith based on a new vision to try it, because I don't think they can neutralize every business risk up front.
