What's (Actually) Killing The Comic Industry?
In this installment, Kirby does a deep dive into the history of the direct market, the reason for the comic industry's crash in the 90's, and what history is repeating itself in the modern day--making for an omen for the future of comics. From the creation of Image Comics, the rise and fall of ComiXology, the troublesome future for DSTLRY and Neon Ichiban, and the questionable practices to court speculators (like blind bags and online marketplaces). Join along as we dive into the future of the comic industry and saving it before its too late!
