    It's frustrating and sad to see that retailer after retailer is coming out and saying how tough it's been in the comics industry and that things seem to only be getting worse. Will publishers and creators listen? Will Diamond listen? That remains to be seen. But I sure hope so.

        Having started our journey into publishing we have found that the UK market can be damaging to itself by not being open to new publishers unless they are in Diamond. They do not want more distributors to manage.

        That's been my experience with the large majority of shops. There's many that DO want to deal direct with publishers or would welcome another distributor.... but most just want the "convenience" of one distributor.

        We try to make it as easy as possible to work with us, hopefully we can persuade some more stores. We have also given ourselves the extra hard job of only doing all-ages books :P

        I'm dismayed by the general silence and lack of attempt to reach out to people who are giving honest, heart-felt suggestions and advice. In many cases LCS' are willing to front the money and time to make things better... but are met with silence and dismissal.

        I have a question, can you quantify how much of your business is new comic purchases and how much is back issues (eg. more than a few years old)

        Well, I personally track if it's a NCB sale or BI sale. For me it's roughly 80/20, NCB. But I also took a strategy to attempt to sell-through what I purchase, like many shops. Still, I would guess that most shops are between 70-85% NCB driven.

        The problems are obvious to all of us and consistent through all of the LCS’s so it’s obvious Diamond and the Big 2 don’t care. Honestly, why do you think that is? It’s baffling. Are they trying to destroy the market so they can build something more to their liking?

        I don't believe anyone is running a strategy to destroy the market and I don't think there is a "second plan". I do think there is this belief that (1) it isn't as bad as people say and they are just whining, (2) everything will magically fix itself, (3) overall apathy.

        I get the impression a lot of the comics industry are just trying to break in to tv and movies, that includes creators to higher ups. So apathy doesnt seem too off the mark. Dont know what to say about Diamond, that will be a hard gem to crack.

        The retailers have been saying the same things since the Diamond Summit in 2017 & they got smeared by the shill media while the publishers tripled down on the things they were pointing out that they're STILL pointing out now.

        The LCS system is doomed. Marvel is the industry leader, and they’re dragging these stores down. The comic industry needs to break free of the LCS model and get back into the mainstream.

        The shops in my area have to diversify their offerings with toys, card games, RPGs, etc. in order to stay afloat.

        Just like any business relationship, if creators, publishers, distributors and retailers don't all realize they are in the same boat together and work to right the ship, they all go down.

        That's the thing though: they aren't in the same boat. The publishers can bleed money bc they are owned by conglomerates, diamond has a monopoly on distribution, creators are looking for EP credits on movies an creator owned movie options. Everyone has their own agenda.

        Hollywood doesn't give a shit for the comics art form. If comic book periodicals die off they'll move the writers in-house and do it themselves.

        They wouldn't have the same pre-sold audience and public awareness of the characters if not for decades of slow filtration through the culture though (though agreed, that's exactly what they'd do).

        Don't get me wrong...it will be a tragedy when we lose a genuine art form. Periodical comic books have been a wonder. It will be sad to see them vanish.
