I appreciate you, Joe 🖤

Morgan Perry @geauxta.bsky.social · 6h

Haha thank you 🖤

Absolutely FLOORED to find out I’m on this list alongside some of the most incredible, talented, and industry-forward thinkers for comics. I’m but a simple trio of very coordinated raccoons in a coat. 😭

Thank you @sktchd.bsky.social & @davidharper.bsky.social for the shout out 🖤

Today on SKTCHD, I wrote about some of the most interesting people in comics right now (at least in my eyes), as I highlighted the work of an an editor, a creator, a distributor, and more in this week's feature.

The Most Interesting People in Comics, Right Now - SKTCHD

It’s an interesting time in the world of comics, to say the least. Change is afoot, with distribution stabilizing despite a million legal actions surrounding the previous leader in that space, the dir...

Aww 🖤🖤 I’m just three comic loving raccoons in a coat! 🤣

Thank YOU for having me! This was such a cool thing to watch come together. I wish you all the best!

Morgan Perry @geauxta.bsky.social · 19d

Out now!! I highly encourage folks who are interested in learning the origin of comic shops to check out this documentary. It’s SO good!

(And yes I’m briefly in it but I’m more just cheering on my retailer pals who are much smarter and more articulate than me!) 🖤

🫣 I’m go glad to have been worthy enough to be among industry titans but I also wish not to be perceived 🤣

Morgan Perry @geauxta.bsky.social · 26d

I know some folks shake their fists at licensed comics but if it’s someone’s first introduction to comics & graphic novels either as a reader, that’s totally awesome and creates more opportunities to cross sell them on other stories.

Morgan Perry @geauxta.bsky.social · 26d

All of this takes time and effort. It’s a lot of work to market and sell comics effectively both by the published and within in the shop, especially in this economy and social media saturated market. It’s not a quick ROI. You’re building an audience & customer base.

Morgan Perry @geauxta.bsky.social · 26d

The same goes for audiences for both IPs. They may not be comic shops regulars or even be aware there is a comic shop in their area, so really making a push online to reach those folks with information about shops, how to preorder, other titles they may enjoy, etc will go a long way on all sides.

Morgan Perry @geauxta.bsky.social · 26d

These licenses would be considered unknown within the general comic shop ecosystem & unless someone on staff who’s a fan of the IP or part of the fandom, it’s likely to not sell as well because it’s considered high touch. With publishers education and resources, it lowers the barrier to entry.

Morgan Perry @geauxta.bsky.social · 26d

I think folks should take a moment to recognize that between Cult of the Lamb and Murder Drones @oni-press.bsky.social is making a real attempt at bringing new readership to western comics. How they’re educating shops about these titles & audiences about comic shops is where my interest lies tho.

As of a few weeks ago, I am no longer with Bad Egg. Grateful for the amazing creators I worked with during my time there.

I'm freelance editing/writing, excited for my work with life(and death)line comics. I am open for the right fulltime editorial role for me and who I am as a person/creative.

Morgan Perry @geauxta.bsky.social · Aug 21

I don’t usually post about prose books but OMG Hollow Kingdom was a hilarious and unique take on an apocalypse story told from the POV of a domesticated crow. 10/10 hella recommend especially as an audiobook.

Morgan Perry @geauxta.bsky.social · Aug 21

Matthew asked some really awesome questions about manga in comic shops, which I was ALL TOO HAPPY to answer. ✨

I love how many people ask if I like Wednesday Addams, and I’m like yes, my first tattoo was of her. It’s a huge portrait style and it was done in someone’s garage in DTLA for minimal money and a sandwich. I feel like Wednesday would approve. @chaoticute.bsky.social DID NOT and they shame me YEARLY!

The best scene (so far)

When the Hayashii band’s song in DanDaDan’s dub plays and you think it sounds like DragonForce, and it ends up being because it’s the lead singer of DragonForce…
