Comic store dream

Sounds like you're attempting to excuse yourself for not finding a way to make it work.

People have been saying comics are dying since the 80's, and they're still here.

Why would you want to open a comic book store?

Just a dream I've always had. I've read a bunch of LCS horror stories that could easily be fixed if the manager was around or wasn't a douche bag.

It's a shame to let such a thing go to waste but I feel like it's going the way of the library. Who goes to the library anymore when they can just read online?

People who need the content they read to be curacted, although lots of libraries provide that service online.

Make it a hobby store, and coast off tabletop and cardgames.
Maybe sell old videogames too, at like really high prices for a game that is 10-30 years old.

THIS.

I don't think I've ever seen an actual LCS that was JUST comics (other than a few hole-in-the-wall type deals that didn't last more than a year or two). Comics are huge in popular culture in general and pretty much synonymous with geek culture going back to the 80's; so successful stores tend to be basically Hot Topic for Geeks: D&D/rpgs, Manga/Anime, Magic/ccgs, ect. There's a *reason* that ComicCon is a big as it is and that reason ain't floppies.

Alternatively, you could also just open an online store. Sure you don't get to meet with people, but are you looking to meet n greet or make money or just surround yourself with stacks of comics?

Because I don't think you want to deal with the type of people who go to comic book stores or the type of people who go to Forbidden Planet.

Just open a convience store or gas station, and have a couple of comicbook racks by the magazines?

At least you won't have to worry about money, since those kinda businesses are basically a turn-key.

With Image making next month's The Walking Dead 25 cents, and with the amount of pre-orders it has do you think we could see a price slash of comics being that cheap in this decade? It'd be pretty damn nice and I would definitely check out more titles if they were that cheap but still feels like a bit much paying 2.20 for something you could rush through in less than a minute.

25 cent comics like that are sold at a loss. The purpose is to get people interested so that they (hopefully) buy the regular issues enough to make up for that loss.
