2026 has been insane for comic shops, as shops like @capecowlcomics.bsky.social, @challengers.bsky.social, @thirdeyecomics.bsky.social, and more are doing their best to keep up with demand and new customers. Today on SKTCHD, I wrote about the banner year so far in comic shops.
SKTCHD@sktchd.bsky.social · 3w agoI checked in with a bevy of comic shops about the year so far, and 2026? It's left the often record setting 2025 in the dust. I wrote about a banner year for comic shops, as retailers share what's fueling it, including the continued surge of new, younger customers, Absolute Mania, and more.
