Comic books are becoming progressively harder to break into for independent creators. One self-imposed problem for many indie creators is that they insist on doing business from an outdated and traditionalist mindset. Upcoming fintech companies with pioneering technologies, like Rastr Technologies, are proving that indie creators need to hyper-evolve the way they do business to stand out and operate in the 21st-century business world.
Traditional comic book stores are closing. Marvel, DC, and Image command over 74% of the comic market. Every other independent publisher shares the rest of the market.
