It's a great place to meet artists and
talk about comics in an open and friendly atmosphere.
In looking for a new way to
write about comic book history, I discovered comic book stories differ quite a bit depending on where and how they are being sold.
I've been writing
about comics for over five years now, and one of the things I've learned is always know who the experts are on any given subject.
It hardly feels connected to the larger universe at all and there's definitely evidence of the sort of old ways of
thinking about comic book movies in here.
The publishers don't
know about comics and what makes a comic look correct and the coloring.
Without that guy you almost certainly wouldn't be reading
blogs about comic books today... except maybe in the most nostalgic way.
We want to have fun and talk
about comics in the way we want to talk about them — with an understanding that comics impact people.
I just don't have patience for a lot of the stuff that comes with talking or
reading about comics online.
I can hear
about a comic online, immediately download it, and have it ready to read before I finish the review I'm reading.
As I've been finding blogging hard to get into recently, this should kick - start me back into it by letting me write
about comics as well as science.
It kept me
excited about comics at a time when I was ready to give up by giving me stories I was more interested in, particularly those starring young women.
After I started commenting and talking to
people about comics online, I wanted to become more engaged.
In our previous post
about comics readers, we looked at apps that let you load comics from your own collection and from publishers who make DRM - free versions of their titles.
Of course, dropping by to
chat about comics with is also a great way to spread the word.
You seem to be assuming all sorts of things about me that I don't believe, and
about this comic strip which it doesn't say.
At the same time, when you can get comics online for the same price that you can get
conversation about comics online, maybe that's competition too tough for vendors and creators.
There's this feeling, an impulse, that part of being a good
writer about comics means that you have to be timely.
Oh, good grief, you're the same person who is making up things
about the comics market that you know nothing about.
Perhaps comic book shops can partner with local businesses to attract clientele and spread the good
word about comics.
I've spent a bunch of time there, and have found a ton of interesting, entertaining, and well - produced
shows about comics that I like listening to.
The site was started in early 2018, in the dark days before anyone on the Internet had anything to
say about comic book movies or pop culture.
There are a ton of pop culture references in the film and not just
ones about comic book films.
It wasn't until my freshman year in college, when I took an art history
class about comics, that I realized I wanted to draw.
One thing that takes getting used to is that unlike just
about every comics app, this reader doesn't turn the page with a swipe — you have to use the arrows.
This morning, I ran across a mention of an
e-book about comics that I thought looked interesting.
