The Era of Celebrity Comics Could Be the Best Thing for the Industry

The comic book industry has had several trends and gimmicks throughout the years, with some of them being more effective than others. Nowadays, there’s more focus on characters spawned by comics than ever, but the actual source material isn’t selling nearly as much as it can.
