Is the Comic Book Industry Dying? with Perch

The comic book industry is in serious trouble—and we’re breaking it all down. From the collapse of IDW to the endless restructures at DC and Marvel’s obsession with nostalgia, the warning signs are everywhere. Comic book sales are stagnating, shops are closing, and readers are walking away. Meanwhile, manga is booming and creators are abandoning traditional publishers for crowdfunding and Substack.

In this must-watch conversation, comic industry insider and business analyst Perch joins Wes to explore whether we're witnessing the slow death of superhero comics—or if this is just the painful beginning of a new era. We dig into the numbers, the trends, and the publisher decisions driving fans away.

📉 Why are Marvel and DC leaning on gimmicks instead of growth?
📉 Is the $5 comic driving away loyal readers?
📉 Are we in the final days of the direct market?
📉 Has manga officially replaced superhero comics for younger fans?
📉 Can indie publishers survive without nostalgia IP?

If you're a comic book fan, collector, retailer, or creator—this is the discussion you can’t afford to miss.
