My Boyfriend is a Bear is out now and really fun!!
Spectacle by Megan Rose Gedris is out in 2 weeks and we’re having a
circus-themed release party for it!
Free Comic Book Day 2018 is over, so of course we’re working on
Free Comic Book Day 2019. Ideas come out organically in this very
discussion.
Contest of Challengers has a new logo… borrowed from a current DC
comic.
DC is starting to offer incentive variants and we’re not really on
board with this plan.
More and more people are wanting just the DC variant covers each
week. We’ve had more people ask for this week’s Suicide Squad
variant than we can sell of issues off the shelf. How does that
even happen?
Young Animal is ending in August.
We’ve heard rumors of a few new DC titles and creative team
changes.
Bud Plant will no longer exhibit at San Diego, after 48 years.
Random House is starting their own all-ages graphic novel imprint,
and our friend Gina Gagliano is heading it! This is amazing news
for the comics industry!
John Barber is the new Editor-In-Chief of IDW Publishing.
Black Badge is the new BOOM! Studios comic from Matt Kindt and
Tyler Jenkins. Thing black op boy and girl scouts.
There is a “Men in Comics” panel at TCAF this weekend and it sounds
wonderfully hilarious.
