The anecdotal reason I have always heard (and it carries some logic) was that the Point Of Sale retailers (the drug stores, convenience stores, etc) didn't wish to carry comics anymore because the profit margin on them were so low...

I don`t buy that theory and my reasoning is how come retailers sell bottles of coke and candybars today? those are much cheaper than comics yet those are still sold, I think the lcs will be known as the downfall of comics distribution instead of the savior. Look at Europe, UK and Japan, there comics are still big sellers while here we think a comic like Walking Dead that sells 23,000 copies a month is a hit.
