D&D General Some comic makers would kill for D&Ds numbers and demographic.

[darjr]

Jim Zub posted about how some comic book folk would kill for D&D numbers. Even as the movies make millions (billions?). I find it a tad ironic since D&D 5e was originally part of a plan to follow in the comics foot prints.

He talks about encouraging more comic book folks to get into D&D ish things, and I can’t agree more.

I’d love to see more things like the Rick and Morty tie he worked with and things like Rolled and Tolled

Oh, wow, Zub drops this nugget about the hardcovers selling millions of copies, and he is in a position of some knowledge:

Comic book industry was stressed before and is looking at collapse now.

I mean, looking at sales numbers on Amazon would probably help you come to the same conclusion.

True, but it's still interesting.

True, but it's still interesting.

It does help having more data though, plus you have to extrapolate (read: wildly guess) less.

Alot of bad marketing/PR/creative choices. Like artists picking huge fights fans, targeting the wants of folks that don't buy comics and related paraphinilia, instead of the majority of those who do, the industry was staring into the abyss, Corona pushed the Industry right into it.

Still there are independants who use distrubution channels besides diamond, who rejected the comic book mainstream, who are still doing very well.

The old industry will mostly die, but it will make room for a new renewed industry, so I'm still very positive about things.

Great numbers, really happy to hear it.

There used to be D&D comics back in the day. Bring those back?
