Is the comic book industry dying?

Yes, but not for the reasons you want to bitch about.

It's been on a slow and steady decline for quite some time.

>>90378228
Yes, but it has been dying for quite sometime now.
If anything, I think that cartoons will somehow manage to die first.

>>90378250
What reasons are that?

>>90378295

I think the cartoons are ok since Netflix has been picking up shows

>>90378340
Print is dead.

>>90378250
Based.

I certainly hope so. I hope the entire industry including all extensions into other media will burn to the ground. So that , from the ashes, New writers/directors/producers/artists can give birth to new characters and stories. We will do away with pandering capeshit and discard pretentious indie books. And in their place will be The New, baptized by fire.

This is a big one.

I think it can be saved just get the feminists/SJWs out of it

>inb4 someone talks about the 20 year figure
yes, there was a crash, but the industry slowly GROWS each year back to where it was.

Honestly, it will take more than that.
Comics have to become more available, be taught at an earlier age as literature, get away from superheroes, and become more affordable.

The collectors market also has to dry up completely.

>>90379404
That without counting digital comics.

People who think comics are dying are not well informed.
Also, the industry has crossed a few crisis bigger than this one and survived.

No, it's legitimately dead and been dead for several decades.

>>90379374
That's not going to do anything. It's still the same 100k people buying the books regardless.

>>90378228
Only the capeshit producers, stuff like webcomics, graphic novels, and small publishers will keep the flame burning

>>90378228
comic books are actually doing better than cartoons. If anything, people should be asking if cartoons are a dying industry due to the fact the cartoons are losing thier audience to the likes of youtubers.

>>90380358
you could even say it faced a crisis on infinite earths
