Need Help Comic Industry Research

Hey guys this is my first post. I need help in looking up research on the comic book industry for a paper. I wanted to do a research paper on "if the comic book industry is dying or not?" If anyone can lead me in the right direction that would be awesome. =D

Thanks!

Thank you very much! all bits of info helps. all i know is i'm gonna probably post the box office sales for the movies too. still in the dark in general what to really be specific about

Comic industry like any indrusty change with time.

Today with all the new medium and way to see and sell comics, you should look what is the best medium for what you want to do.

Good point. all industries do change with time. and because the ways people can see and sell comics now is different that the 90s and so on. also i wanted to add topics with about manga or manwha in asia. with anime.

With the new mediums and tool there is new way to do comics and do story telling Max Payne 1 and 2 used comics as cutscenes.

Motion comics could have movement or not, could have sound or not, but is a new way to do comics.

The industry changed, so did the art and technologies.

Thank you guys for all the help =D
