Thread 150201227

The ones who claim comics are dying are full of shit. Saying Comics are Dying is just the same as spreading great falseness such as Being Tired of Winning. Neither ever rang true and both offer no good evidence to support such absurd claims, the markets just change such as Digital Reading more of a focus.

Not really When people say "comics are dying" they only always mean DC and Marvel. And even then both publications make up the majority of the top 10-20 monthly sales. If they mean that the superhero genre isn't as popular as it once was then they may have a point. But if they're going to make a claim that comics are dying, they're obligated to include other publications like Image, Darkhorse, Boom! Studios, IDW, etc.

Hell, they have to also include american localization companies for manga and european comics. Because if they have to cherrypick the big two to support their claim then their argument is very flawed.

I miss when they'd make 12 hour live streams and daily rants rambling about how comics are dying. Now they all just bitch & fight about each other.

It's kind of funny how that devolved so much in the past year or so. Must be the Ed Piskor curse

Aren't sales numbers gradually getting lower and lower over the past 20 years?

COMICS will never die because it’s a medium, anyone can make a comic and put it on the internet. The DIRECT MARKET, however, is absolutely dying, just look at how hard they rely on variant covers and incentive covers and all that shit. Used to be you’d get maybe one, MAYBE two variant covers for special occasions. Now every major comic publisher puts out five, six, seven, sometimes even up to forty variants because they’re not making enough money selling the same comic once they have to sell the same comic five times over. It’s a business strategy reliant on speculators and as soon as speculators wake up and realize their fifty variants to spider-boy #1 won’t pay for their retirement they’ll drop it like a bad habit
