DC lost $20 million in sales last year and running scared so they are having to reboot their whole line again.
In my neck of the woods the number of comic book stores have gone down to from 20-25 in the 90s to about 3 in 2016.

Two things. Did you mean late 90s or early 90s? Because the late 80s/early 90s had that ENORMOUS comic book bubble that collapsed sometime in the early-mid 90s. At least some of those stores probably owed their existence to that bubble. Comparing the number of comic stores today to, I don't know, 2000 or 2006 would probably be a more interesting comparison.
As to DC rebooting... They are doing it AGAIN? Getting to the point they will have to reboot every three years. At some point the well will run dry and what fanbase is left will be sick of the reboots at some point.
One last thing, has Marvel been facing a decline as well? I assume that its facing a decline but a smaller one, but I don't know for sure.
