A new article from Polygon charts the traumatic impact of 2020 on the comics industry, but ends on a positive note discussing the key steps comics took to improve its situation. Is the conclusion accurate? Were things left out? And what has the industry actually learned?

If you asked 100 people for their take on what 2020 meant for comics, you’d likely get 100 different answers, but most would center on these and similar problems.

For the longest time, so many in certain parts of the industry have had limited views of what comics could – or should – be. “You publish in this format because that’s the way we always have, and you distribute this way for the same reason.” Comics was the ultimate “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” industry, even if the medium itself wasn’t. The problem is, in 2020, it finally broke. In a snap, everyone had to reinvent themselves, with people across comics finding themselves in new, unexpected positions by necessity. And to their eternal credit, they made it work, turning what could have been a year of disaster into one that underlined the impressive resilience of comics — even if it required considerable effort to get there. Comic shops took on more jobs than ever before. In circumstances where single-issue comics weren’t coming out “until further notice” and customers might not even be allowed in stores, the business model of the Local Comic Shop was overturned inst ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AFKpc-0328g
