With record-breaking sales and blockbuster movies, you'd think comic shops would be thriving. But the data shows a different story: a shocking number of stores are closing their doors. We break down the systemic failures—from digital subscriptions to a broken distribution model—that are killing the very business that built the industry.

Join us as we solve this paradox and reveal the bold, data-driven solutions that can save comic shops.

Dive deep into the shocking Disney/Webtoon deal and its potential impact on the comic book industry. While executives at Disney and Webtoon celebrate a new era of digital storytelling, we break down why this partnership might be a misguided attempt to save a struggling industry.

Using the popular DC Comics/Webtoon partnership for Wayne Family Adventures as a key example, we explore the stark contrast between the traditional comic-buying audience and the Webtoon readership. Will this new collaboration genuinely grow the market, or simply divert attention and resources from the core problems plaguing traditional periodical comics?

Join the conversation, like, share, and subscribe! Let us know in the comments: Is this deal a game-changer for comics, or is it the beginning of the end for the traditional comic book format?

Do superhero films actually help comic book sales? The common wisdom says "yes," but the data tells a much more complicated, and arguably more cynical, story. In this deep dive, we break down the key findings from the "Do Films Help Comic Sales? Report" to reveal the truth about Hollywood's impact on the industry. We'll explore why those massive sales spikes are often a mirage, and why the "Film Bounce" is more of a sugar rush than a sustainable diet for the comic world. Join us as we uncover the data on speculator-driven sales, the one-to-three-month sales window, and ask the tough questions about what the industry should be doing to build a lasting audience.
