Ever seen a war fought with pencils and deadlines? Empire Comics: where the real battle is getting the damn books on time. Joe Kavalier draws miracles? Great. Pay him like a miracle. My nephew Sammy spins tales? Fine, but family discounts apply. We’re selling escapism, not charity. The Escapist fights Nazis? Good. But if the shipment misses Friday, he can fight my creditors next. I didn’t invent superheroes—I invented the math that makes ’em matter. Let the idealists foam at the mouth. I’m the one who signs the checks.
