I'm helping someone find an artist for a graphic novel. Please give me suggestions for living artists who can do all of the following:
- real world references, including specific places/ styles
- fantasy characters
- fantasy worldbuilding
- maximalism/ detail in the art
- work looks great

@comicstitan.bsky.social you need to help local comic stores get the book. Stop only using Lunar! You know the problems with them! Add more distribution to help comic stores and their customers get your books!

Adam Pottier @adamcomicnexus.bsky.social · 27d

@comicstitan.bsky.social when are you going to fix your distribution problem?
You know that a very large amount of comic stores, including most Canadian stores, don't use Lunar!
You have known since at least March!
Why have you not fixed this?
Help stores and customers get your books!

Collecting classic comics is a great investment. Newer ones is playing the stock market and many crashes can happen. Video Games is great for classic games but you have to make sure they continue to work, newer games require DLC and online content so many will not have resale value in time

Unfortunately if interest lowers so will demand and value.

Demand vs scarcity. Plus consumer interest. First printing of One Piece volume one and the Shonen Jump Free Comic Book Day issue with One Piece are quite valuable. Comics with media ties increase because of new consumer interest (first appearances of characters in movies). Comics can be investments

@lonnienadler.bsky.social we would love to carry the book but @comicstitan.bsky.social still does not have a Canadian distributor! They ignored Canadian retailers for months,cut our orders, and still have not added Universal! Really wish that Titan respected Canadian comic stores and our customers.
