Comic Book Shops are NEVER Making a Comeback, Sorry.

Comic shops are likely going the way of shopping malls, arcades and soon, movie theaters. Another major comic book retailer in Philadelphia is closing its doors, possibly forever. In fact, they've been EVICTED after almost 50 years in business because they can't pay their rent. Fat Jack's Comicrypt joins dozens of other major metropolitan retailers packing it in after DECADES in business. No, there is no coming back from this. We'll never have a thriving comic shop ecosystem like we did before the pandemic. Comics will go on, but comic shops as an institution are basically over. Then we talk about how Marvel Comics might be looking to outsource comics after all these decades.

I wish somebody would take a mall and make it a Man-mall: shooting range, home depot, bar, indoor golf, bar, strip club, movie theater, etc.
All for men.

I've been into comics since 1992, and I've never seen it this bad. The easy answer is that "readers are choosing manga". They're choosing manga because somehow western comics got even worse than that dogshit.

Western comics got fully judaized. At lest manga has a couple of good ones. And they cater to a wide variety of youngster, making the difference between boys and girls, action and romance, etc etc. Western comics are just communist drivel where everyone is evil.

Hell, a lot of people are going to French comics.

They should expand. There's a place my sister loves, and has loved for a long time now. They do way more than comics. They do all the nerd shit, comics, books, manga, board games, TTRPG, figures and so on.

I bought into a game shop so it could pay rent and stay open.
Eventually it got to the point where it couldn't float any more, so we turned it into a private club instead.
No more selling games to the public.
Everyone just pitches in $50 for rent, etc.
That worked out really well.
