![“I’m a strong advocate for making comics more accessible and driving the market open. But without the properly delivery system, there’s no way to do that. As long as comics are locked into comic book stores, they can’t really get themselves in front of new readerships. At this point [stores] are kind of irrelevant. When you look at American Born Chinese or Fun Home or Blankets or manga, it’s quite clear that there’s an audience out there for comics, that there’s an explosion going on right now in our industry. It’s just not happening with Iron Man. Iron Man is making it in the movies, not comics. That entire American comics superjock thing is kind of frozen in place.”
