I am here, begging people to check out what their local library has to offer. Even the most non-comics-friendly libraries often have ties to digital systems like Hoopla or Axis 360 where you can read lots of comics. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJoY...

POWERS 25 with @BrianMbendis @nickfil.bsky.social‬ and myself from @DarkHorseComics There is a cover-up. They can feel it. Now they have to prove it... #comics #comicbooks #Powers

This is why it's important to share great projects. Madeline is a friend. She makes fantastic books. I signed up to be notified when the campaign went live. And this was still the first time I realized the new Boston Metaphysical was live. Promote your work. Promote your friend's work. Promote

Hey everyone! We're counting down the hours on the final Palomino campaign! Wanna get in on the action? There literally is no better time! www.kickstarter.com/projects/dar...

MALLOCH THE DAMNED #2 A damned detective, a chaos imp, and a dying machine track a shapeshifting succubus from HELL! From @davidbooher.bsky.social & @winstongambro.bsky.social w/ @letteringbear.bsky.social @thesaintart.bsky.social @flopscomics.bsky.social + me www.kickstarter.com/projects/dea...

Is that some sweet @tiredsai.bsky.social cover art I spy???

is actually more a graphic update to make things easier to read. Comparing it to last year's update, the actual words are almost the same.

And all those payment processors are the force behind it. While building the Unsounded kickstarter, ICC was told we couldn't link to the webcomic in the story section because the comic has mature content that Stripe would flag. That was last year, but the big update people are talking about,

To back up what Charlie is saying, it is about trying to please stripe's rules (because Kickstarter isn't the only one having this changes. And the FCC sent warnings to Visa, Mastercard, paypal, and Stripe. youtu.be/7cc6g6onSy8?... this guy is talking about steam because he is videogame focused)

HORIORROR - A Greek Folk Horror Comics Anthology is LIVE ON KICKSTARTER💠💀💠 A 140+ page folk horror comics anthology from established and upcoming Greek comics creators, now in English! www.kickstarter.com/projects/105...

#Comics Fuck censorship. Backed www.kickstarter.com/projects/shp...

please don't mistake indie creators continued use of ks to mean they don't care about the new rules and who they impact (literally everyone), but take it out on the payment processor etc and not the indie creators trying to get their projects funded and their collaborators paid.

“Find another platform” is a fine thing to say if you’ve never tried another platform. Anyone who knew me during the winter of early 2024 will have a nervous smile at me about this.

Who of the comics/games folk on here hang out on discord?

Man, this is such a nihilistic take. Forget Lord of the Rings. My kids have watched The Wizard of Oz. The Godfather. Planet of the Apes. TONS of classics that are quite a bit older than 30 years, and they’ve enjoyed and appreciated them all.

listen, as a largely safe-for-work creator who mostly does comics for teenagers: people drawing sex is awesome. people getting to look at or read about sex is fantastic. we should do more of that! hot take: we should probably even do it in a teen-friendly way. bc you know they are DOING it, right

We really didn’t bully payment processors hard enough.

There’s no shortcut. Only doing the work. And that’s what these Tech Bros and AI slop fanboys will never understand.

Had convos w/ multiple people in the past 4 days who DID NOT KNOW that 1. AI doesn't "think" or know anything; it's a probability machine 2. It was created using massive amounts of work stolen from actual people including me 3. The environmental costs are astronomical Spread the word, every time!

With the latest ComiXology news, people are wondering where to read digital comics. So, I’m gonna say a little about my favorite place to read, @sweetshop.app. It’s still invite only beta at this point, and there is a limited selection of publishers, but what’s there WORKS. #comics #DigitalComics

This is a crazy and I won't get into too many details but my family could really use some advice/resources/etc: story below

Almost 90% of comics creators who earn income from traditional publishing do not earn the national living wage from their work, with 13% relying on state benefits 👇 #BookSky

Jon Oringer, founder and executive chairman of Shutterstock @shutterstock.com, is trying to recruit comic and graphic novel creators over on LinkedIn to a new AI platform that he’s building. Feel free to let him (and them) know what you think of this, and never use Shutterstock again ✌🏻

When you get to @comicconrevolution.bsky.social, come by Room 100AB on Saturday at 1:30pm. Learn how our panelists built their audience, then get inspired to make your own path in #comics. Also, what are comics without a variant (social post)?

If you're looking to branch out, there's NEVER been a better time for alternative/ indie books. I'd recommend checking out what we do at @whiteashcomics.bsky.social or if we're not your thing, @cloverpress.bsky.social or @magneticpress.bsky.social or @fanbasepress.bsky.social might be. Also...

We are a mere $600 from earning out on BAD KARMA so if you’ve been considering buying it please do so! It’s a lovely chunky 300-page hardback action/black comedy graphic novel ORRR if you don’t want paper books it’s also available everywhere digitally! Quick link: bookshop.org/a/23067/9781...

Eugh I'm tired of constantly advertising my comic and Ik ppl are tired of constantly seeing the previews but it's literally my income so... I apologize lmfao.

I just backed Glarien and Thane: Volumes 1 & 2 by @charliestickney.bsky.social on @kickstarter.com Hurry, it's almost over. Don't miss out! www.kickstarter.com/projects/whi...

Just 2… …hours… …left. www.kickstarter.com/projects/whi...

This is great advice. I currently have a spot in a script where a character says: "What I've learned over the arc." That bit's going to require more thought and time. So until I have that time, I've moved on to the scenes around it that I can knock out quickly/ in short writing spurts.

It’s OK to write [NAME TBD], [JARGON], or [SOLVE THIS LATER] if you get stuck, as long as you have a way to search for those spots down the line. You don’t have to stop your momentum until you crack the thing if you tend to get sidetracked or it’s making you miserable. This was a revelation.
