Not Comics: WizKids Shut Down

I'm not all that well informed on the gaming industry, but I like to keep track of it because many comic book stores are modeled in a way that includes selling this material, and in a way the gaming industry seem to act like a smaller, more contained version of the comics industry. The same way you can look at rap and see some of the same cultural elements from rock and roll play themselves out on a slightly smaller scale and with more speed, so do there seem to be lessons for certain aspects of the comics business in the gaming industry.

This article about what's going to happen now that Topps has announced it is ending the WizKids line seems to offer up two major areas of inquiry. The one about continued line support doesn't really have an equivalent in comics, but a scramble for licenses seems like something that could happen in funnybooks for sure.
