Why is it so HARD to Break into the Comic Book Industry?

This video is very insightful. If you've ever felt like you struggled with the comics industry or felt like you'll always be rejected by editors, there's a good reason for that, and it's not good. It's a bad reason, but it is the truth about what's going on in comics today, about how webcomics and indie comics are stepping up and stepping in whereas the mainstream comics community and industry is essentially extending one giant middle finger at fans who dream of going pro by means of traditional publishing houses, which quite frankly is a barricaded, insular system that essentially says fuck you to any creator who isn't already established AND over the age of 45... Bottom line, stick to webcomics and indie comics, but especially webcomics, because the business of indie comics can be just as broken as superhero comic books sometimes (i.e. popular indie non-web publishers).
