I've worked for Marvel's licensing department for over several years. Looking at the fiscal numbers year to year we don't even make a true profit with comic books anymore. At least not enough to appease our shareholders.

I'm sure it comes to no ones shock but Marvel makes close to 80% of their revenue from merchandising, licensing, and film/tv. Comic books are supported only to keep their intellecual property relevant. So comic books have been dead for a long time.
