>comic book companies - say it with me, folks! - underwent massive amounts of consolidation to chase efficiencies at the expense of their ability to innovate

How is a very large operation more efficient at producing comic-book sales than a smaller operation?

Why cannot new comic-book companies easily be created? One guess I have is that most of the profit potential is in sales of new stories about characters that are well-known, like Superman or the Incredible Hulk, and copyright law prevents new entrants from selling those stories.
