Amazon.com, Inc. (AMZN) Stock: Can Jet City Comics Compete With the Big Boys?

Page 2 of 2

But, really, while this demonstrates the pure, raw entertainment potential possessed by comic books and graphic novels, does Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN)’s Jet City Comics stand a chance of actually competing with the big boys and forming its own deeply loyal group of admirers?

To be honest, even with a few big-name authors on board, it’s doubtful we’ll see the Jet City comics imprint making a notable impact in the entertainment world anytime in the near future, let alone a significant positive impact on Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) stock.

Foolish takeaway
That said, what’s the worst that could happen? On one hand, similar to Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN)’s other digital publishing platforms, I can’t imagine launching and maintaining Jet City Comics represents any sort of huge financial outlay for the company, so the effort certainly won’t drag down Amazon stock if it fails.

On the other hand, remember Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) CEO Jeff Bezos has never been particularly keen on running the business with a short-term mind-set, which is why I’m convinced Jet City Comics could simply be another effective, low-overhead way of slowly pulling in new readers, with big long-term revenue-generating potential as the base grows.

In fact, between Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN)’s core publishing platforms, Kindle Worlds, and Jet City Comics, I’d venture to say Amazon Studios is doing a pretty darned good job of planting seeds to maximize its chances of finding the next great original content to produce movies and television shows for its Prime video streaming service down the road.
