Comic- Cash

As many have predicted, and as you have already heard; our country is leaning near a recession(allegedly). This is based on the fact that many people have lost their jobs due to our struggling economy. Is it? Could be just the price of gas, but you know how hypocrites are.

My uncle, who owns a comic shop has already lost a few of his regular customers for this reason. Yet, the comic and gaming world's economy is growing at a rapid speed. The upcoming summer comic convention (also known to geeks as comic-con) has sold-out of 4 day passes and is reaching that point for Saturday sales. Last year, comic-con recorded a record high of 136,000 attendees. Do people cling on to books and games as an escape from stress?
