Is Comic-Con dead? The numbers say "yes"—at least for the comic book industry. The once-beloved comic convention is losing its soul as it becomes a generic pop culture event.

This isn't just about Comic-Con; it's about the future of nerd culture. We dive into the surprising stats, the great ticket calamity of 2025, and the silver lining for indie creators. Watch to find out why your favorite comic conventions aren't what they used to be and where you can find the authentic comic community. ===========================================
