Why Comic Shops Are Dying

Why do fans believe comic shops are dying when comic sales are up and millions are spent on superhero films? 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.
