Superheroes to the Rescue: How Comic Book Stores Overcame the Pandemic and Innovated for the Future
The comic book industry has undergone significant changes in recent years, and the COVID-19 pandemic has only accelerated these trends. As an expert in the field, I have observed these changes firsthand, and I am optimistic about the future of comic book stores.
Before the pandemic, physical sales of comic books were declining, while digital sales were on the rise. According to data from Publishers Weekly, physical sales in North America declined by 0.3% in 2019, compared to the previous year. In contrast, digital sales saw a 7.1% increase. This trend continued into 2020, with physical sales declining by 6.5% while digital sales increased by 14%. These changes in sales patterns have been driven by the closure of physical comic book stores, which account for a significant portion of physical sales.

Despite these challenges, comic book stores have shown remarkable resilience in the face of the pandemic. Many stores have adapted to the new reality by offering online sales and curbside pickup options, and some have even launched crowdfunding campaigns to help them stay afloat.

However, the industry is already starting to bounce back. As of September 2021, physical sales in North America were down by only 2.6% compared to the previous year, while digital sales had increased by 8.7%. This indicates that the shift towards digital media consumption is still ongoing, but the decline in physical sales is starting to level off.

In addition to the pandemic, the comic book industry has also been impacted by other major changes in recent years. In 2020, DC Comics announced that it would be changing its shipment schedule from Wednesdays to Tuesdays. This decision was made to align with the new release schedule for other forms of entertainment, such as movies and video games, which typically release new content on Tuesdays.
In addition to changes in shipment schedules, the closure of Diamond Comic Distributors in 2020 created significant disruption in the industry. Diamond had been the primary distributor of comic books to retailers for decades, and its closure led to the launch of several new distribution companies, including Lunar Distribution and UCS Comic Distributors. This fragmentation of the distribution market has created new challenges for retailers, but it has also opened up new opportunities for competition and innovation.
Overall, while the comic book industry has faced significant challenges in recent years, there are reasons to be optimistic about its future. The resilience of comic book stores during the pandemic and the leveling off of the decline in physical sales are positive signs. Additionally, the launch of new distribution companies and changes to shipment schedules are creating new opportunities for growth and innovation in the industry.Furthermore, comic books continue to be an important and influential medium of storytelling and entertainment, with a dedicated fan base and a growing presence in mainstream media. The success of comic book adaptations in film and television, such as the Marvel Cinematic Universe and The Boys, has helped to broaden the appeal of the medium and attract new audiences. This, in turn, can drive more interest in physical comic books and support the growth of comic book stores.In conclusion, while the comic book industry has faced significant challenges in recent years, there are reasons to be optimistic about its future. The industry has shown remarkable resilience in the face of the pandemic, and the launch of new distribution companies and changes to shipment schedules are creating new opportunities for growth and innovation. Comic books continue to be an important and influential medium, and their success in mainstream media is helping to attract new audiences and support the growth of comic book stores.References:"Diamond Halts Payments to Vendors and Cuts Staff."

This one hurts. Rest in Peace Tony Todd. Known for Candyman, Final Destination and his various popular horror roles, Highly accomplished roles in themselves, but, there was a lot more to his creativity than the larger general public were aware. His tour de force run in the one man play ‘ghost in the house’ written by Ernie Hudson (Ghostbusters) about the life and times of boxer Jack Johnson was a huge achievement and passion project, I was first made aware of the project by a friend and eventually introduced by another, I discussed briefly bringing him to LONDON to perform it before Covid struck. It’s been on my list ever since, Tony was also top of my list for a huge upcoming comic project. I’m not selfishly lamenting that loss, but amplifying the briefness of your time as a parent, artist, sibling, friend and human being on this earth. One minute you’re discussing creative things and planning for the future the next you are gone. Life is fleeting and 69 is no age to go. My thoughts to his friends and family (and his many fans) I’m saddened for all his future film and theatre projects too, he was a fantastically gifted man. A creatively cultured man. The world is worse off without him. Rest in Peace.

We lost our friend Si Spencer, and we are raising money to help his partner Colleen during this terrible time. Simon was the editor of Deadline, home of Tank Girl, so if you a fan, maybe consider doating even a pound or two. Let's help out our Comics family. Si was an amazing writer, editor and raconteur. He organised some great mini cons in his local pub too! He loved his local...and they loved him. We had great fun signing comics there. Thank you Si, you will be remembered and you will be sorely missed. The link is https://gofund.me/7609cd41 Or just google gofundme - Si Spencer #sispencer #memorial #gofundme #donate #comicscommunity #deadline #tankgirl #2000ad #dcvertigo #booksofmagic https://www.instagram.com/p/CLjL0xehC6lJN1SEie_ouhVqtDpBWkDOJFdAIE0/?igshid=ltn9s0hcovpz

Welcome to the Lost between worlds Tumblr page! My name is Edwin and I'm the writer and creator of Lost between worlds. I have always had dreams of being a writer, writing since I was 6 or 7 writing about my favorite video games and cartoons. Eventually I started focusing on some of my other loves like music and cooking but ideas always kept popping in my head for story ideas. I used to entertain them for a little, but eventually would move on until this one idea I had a little over a year ago. It kept popping into my head and more ideas kept coming that I started to write them down so I wouldn't forget.
Well the pandemic hit and after some time of being bored doing nothing, I knew this was a sign that I should take this opportunity to try to make the dream a reality and write out this story idea I've been working... It was finally time...

Had a little time to do some fan art after going through some comics particularly the Kingdom Come #3 which was the base inspiration for this piece. Hope everyone is staying safe and creative during these stressful times.
