I read an article about that not long ago, can't find the URL, but those Archie digests at the supermarket sell about 300-500k issues a month in total which makes them the most popular comics in north america. Superman's assorted DC titles are the runners up with about 200,000 copies per month collectively. The rest of the comics business tapers off real fast.

Athelind's idea is very good, I think costs are getting too high and that's a big reason for comics' decline.. only so many times can speculators be wooed with foil covers, etc. And there are efforts in the direction he describes.

Maybe paper RPGs could have rules on collectible cards, and what cards you had would give your character abilities and magic items. A RPG/CCG hybrid. Online RPGs are enormously popular and involve killing things, getting experience and money and leveling up. A non-computer RPG that just focused on that might do OK.
