RE: ImPRESSive Results! Fixing Comics & Making Cash!
Such a new world for me! 😄 I’m beginning to understand that comic books are not really about reading comic books...
And I can totally see what a satisfying experience the steaming process must be! 😀

Lol. Well I tend to focus a bit on the investment angles here a lot because we have a lot of folks who invest on the platform. The main basis though is reading.
New books come out every single Wednesday. Most of your main superhero titles from the big 2 publishers of Marvel and DC have titles that are monthly or bi weekly obviously Meaning a new issue comes out once a month or every 2 weeks. Indy publishers sometimes abide by this but are more flexible on their schedules.
We have hundreds of customers that come in each and every week to pick up the new books. Most of them are heavy readers. I just don’t want to bore people to death here. Lol. So I tend to talk about the financials of the business as money gets people interested. 😂
I’ll do some recommended readings soon for non comic people. I was discussing this with @honeydue the other day actually. Trying to get folks who have never picked up a comic...to pick one up. Most people just think it’s heroes wearing tights fighting villains. That couldn’t be further from the truth. The industry has morphed and transformed so much over the years. So many amazing stories being told. Dramas. Thrillers. SciFi. Post apocalyptic. Fantasy. So many comics are being turned into movies and hit shows as they house fantastic and creative ideas. Most of the world is completely unaware still but it’s slowly changing. Stay tuned!!! I’ll have you trying one out eventually. Even if I have to send it to you. Lol
Really? New ones every week?
I mean of course I’m noticing all the Marvel Hollywood movies, but I thought these were all old stories.
So do they keep inventing new super heros or are they just inventing new stories for them?
I really had no idea. And you will very likely convince me to pick one up. I’m already slightly regretting I didn’t have one in my goodie bag at Steemfest now 😄
Also, keep writing about it - regardless of the investment angle - it’s fascinating to read about someone’s passion and expertise about a subject that so far has been a parallel universe to you. And you’re a good writer do I’m looking forward to learning more!
It’s fascinating that comic books have not been replaced by apps yet, or digital subscriptions.

Yup. New titles each and every week and the hard core are there right away to snag em!
The movies take some elements from the Comics and also create completely new storylines. It’s a mix. Have you watched any? In all honesty, what Amat el has done with the Marvel Cinematic Universe has been incredible. Most of the films are really good. A few are “eh” but overall, super impressive. They created an entire connected universe of heroes one film at a time. They intersect and have Easter eggs hidden for something coming out down the road. If you haven’t seen them, I highly recommend. The last Avengers: Infinity War film was freaking fantastic. But don’t start there as you’ll kinda be lost. If interested lmk and I’ll get ya the rundown on how to watch them. Start with Iron Man 1. If you enjoyed that I’ll shoot you a viewing order list.
New characters and storylines are created all the time. Most characters stink. Most don’t stick around or do anything significant. That’s why when you get one that connects well with readers a d collectors, it’s like striking gold.
You didn’t have one in the goodie bag? A couple of others told me that as well. I wish I would have known that as I brought a few extras that I passed out the last day. If you shoot me your address on discord or WhatsApp, I’ll totally send ya a cool care package out. Lmk!
Thank you so much for the kind words. I’ll keep chugging info and stories out then! 😉
Believe it or not, Comics subscription apps exist. It was supposed to be the downfall of the industry as many claimed but it has t had a large effect really. I know a couple of people who go that route and they do it mainly to save space but most people still like having a tangahle item in their possession...at least when it comes to this world where value plays a part. Even if the person in question is mainly a reader and not a speculator, it’s good to know that you could have something that’s worth some decent coin.
