The number of comics available on Atomic Avenue continues to plummet. In three months, it has fallen by over 300,000 available comics. That’s more than a 15% drop in one fiscal quarter. Of course this is in reaction to their rather steep increase in fees of nearly 50%. Atomic Avenue’s total number of available comics hasn’t been this low since August 2012 (over two years ago!).
