NiFe Wars Wants To Change Comics | Genius or Gimmick? | The Industry of Comics Show

#NiFeWars #MikeMayhew #IndustryOfComics Tonight on Industry of Comics we're joined by Scott Herman and the NiFe Wars team to discuss one of the most ambitious new comic and collectibles projects we've seen in years. NiFe Wars isn't just another comic book launch. Between NFC-authenticated comics, blind bag variants, digital collecting, gaming, animation, and a growing collector ecosystem, they're attempting to build an entirely new model for comic book fandom and collecting. Is this the future of comics and collectibles... or just another gimmick? Get 10% off using Promo Code BEYOND10 https://myshopville.com/products/need... Then in the second half of the show we break down the latest developments at Dark Horse Comics as Dark Horse Workers United receives voluntary recognition from company leadership and what it could mean for the future of the publisher. We'll also discuss Mike Mayhew's recent appearance on Robservations with Rob Liefeld. After weeks of controversy, social media reactions, screenshots, and hot takes, we finally got the opportunity to hear Mike explain his business philosophy, thoughts on live selling, creator empowerment, retailer exclusives, and why he believes creators should bet on themselves. Join the Beyond Wednesdays crew as we dive into the biggest stories impacting comics, creators, retailers, collectors, and the future of the industry. LIVE chat participation highly encouraged.
