We talk about the change in comic book fairs, we complain about the decrease in space dedicated to comics themselves in favor of activities such as cosplay and merchandising. We highlight the shift in focus towards an audience more interested in the spectacular and commercial aspect of the event; we reflect on the contradiction of criticizing the presence of adult content in a context frequented by minors. Finally, we underline the competition between different entertainment sectors, such as animation and video games, for the public's attention.
