Comic Collector Live To Begin Charging A Software Subscription Fee
Hendersonville, TN (PRWEB) October 16, 2008 -- Starting the first week in December 2008, Comic Collector Live will begin charging its users $29.95 per year to access this data. New users will have a FREE 30 day trial period before the subscription is required.
"This was not in our original plan," says Joe Butler CEO of MidTen Media, "but due to economic uncertainty we want to ensure that Comic Collector Live remains strong during these roller coaster moves in the market."
Butler also mentioned that by adding the fees, it would allow them to add more features to the software, and provide better service and upgrades for the community. In addition to the subscription fee, Comic Collector Live generates revenue when online marketers use the website to market their products.
Comic Collector Live has been providing technology to collectors of comic books, and comic related products since early 2007. They also provide technology for commerce of those products through its interactive web site http://www.ComicCollectorLive.com along with a complete integration of their software product to the site. They currently boast over 60,000 registered users and over 500,000 items for sale.
Mid Ten Media is the developer of Comic Collector Live, a full service website and software for comic book organizing, collecting, buying and selling. Comic Collector Live is the fastest growing comic book website in the world, boasting over 300 thousand comic book titles, story lines, and full color covers.

Comic books and original comic art
Comic books have been staple for the young and even the old for a several decades. It is amazing how these static drawings are able to make comic book characters come alive. There are superhero, action, romance and even touching human interest stories that dwell in the folded pages of a comic book. Comic books are immensely popular because they are able to bridge the divide between a book and a movie, between a narration and an actualization and between reality and fantasy. And they do so with ease and much more cost effectively than any film. For a few thousand dollars an artist can produce a high quality comic book or for under an hundred dollars he or she can create an online comic.
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
It's no secret that Marvel comic books are the best selling comic books in the American market. Marvel holds the highest percentage of the market share as it has for many years, just above main rival, DC Comics.
