Last week, Mark Millar was saying that he and Bryan Hitch had been chatting very indiscriminately about a big change that was coming in 2012 for comics aside from digital – but that he couldn’t say any more.

“the industry, as we all know it, about to go through some massive changes unlike anything we’ve seen since I was a child. I don’t just mean digital (though that’s obviously a factor). But massive, very interesting stuff going on that’s going to change things quite radically for people working in the industry and anyone reading the books. The next 12 months is looking like a comic book revolution. Some of it’s good and some of it’s bad, but we’re looking at a very different industry a year down the line in terms of where people are going to be working, what they’re getting paid, etc.”
