Hey, good to see you again. This is one of those businesses that may be invisible to consumers, but vital to the trade. I expect there are similar things for music and books. As you say it would be hard to negotiate with every publisher and convenience will have costs, but maybe they can't make enough. That could be a serious problem.

Maybe Hive account@blewitt has input on this as a comic store owner. There's also Hive account@drwatson who uses crowd-funding, but could want his comics on the shelves too.

We have a few people publishing comics on here and earning something, but we would need to make Hive more of a comics destination to build that up.

BTW I see your site still links to Steemit and you may want to update that. Move people moved here.
