I dislike the modern comic format, specifically Newspaper comics. The industry is set up as an iron wall making it impossible to penetrate and get serialized. Newspaper comics especially turned to shit and now the only one worth reading is.
Web comics are an interesting zone, the art tends to be terrible and the story is not cohesive but its the only way for these artists to get noticed, especially in a push towards a purely digital world. However this often leads to the comic circling and not growing, and getting dragged on beyond its lifespan instead of the artist getting a reality check.
The comic scene is not dying but I doubt very much it will reach a stage where its competitive and a new artist has a chance to rise up, especially with DC and Marvel essentially being the only names anyone knows.

The digital age is the great barrier breaker. Of course there's a lot of garbage and mediocrity floating around, but there are some real gems out there that have been made possible because of the digital age. There's no way something like Lackadaisy would have gone anywhere without the internet.

never heard of it, but what i mean is in going digital its also becoming unaccessable to some. What we need is a jump equivalent for comics

they dont make the industry competitive, they just block it off to outsiders and call all the shots inorganically

How is digital inaccessible? You can post on facebook, instagram, get a patreon account... You can access a computer from libraries. Internet overall has never been cheaper. Comics have always been collared by syndicates(in the case of the funnies) and publishers in the case of your classic cape shit.

in the self published style its word of mouth, the infrastructure for building a new artist is non exsistant
