[QUOTE="pming, post: 7745365, member: 45197"] Hiya! I'm going to be deliberately vague here so as to not get "in trouble". I don't think that dead-tree comics (and comics in general) lowered sales is primarily because of "digital availability". If you follow comics at all, and watch a few of the better comic-book reviewer channels on YouTube...it is painfully obvious that the sudden decline of, at least Marvel, comics has been because of...hmmm...how to put this... "a certain style of writing and story-telling" that has been in full swing since about 2015/2016. Some love this new take on writing comic's, but the old fans...the "collectors", so to speak... are, by and large, not happy. When you start to get pro-comic writers/artists coming out and saying "This is whats wrong", people should listen to them. But the top-dogs at Marvel and DC, for whatever reason, have decided to not only stay the course on their "new reboots", but some actually attack FANS for saying "We don't want this...we want more of what we had"? Well, you know something is not only wrong, but SERIOUSLY wrong with the comic book industry right now. If I'm too vague, here's two decent Youtube guys I watch to get my comic info: (Actually, first... TRIGGER WARNING! ...for those who, uh, need such things I guess...)
