Hype for this one. I loved CROWDED and can't wait to see what they do with a whole graphic novel~

If you're trying to ditch NYT Games, which you should be since their games singlehandedly prop up the entire dogshit rag financially, you should switch to Puzzmo. An annual sub is 50% off today for a crazy $19 and as a bonus doesn't enable the genocides of Palestinians and trans people
Puzzmo — The (new) place for thoughtful puzzles.
Re-imagined mainstays like the daily Crossword Puzzle, modern classics like Really Bad Chess and SpellTower, and even a few brand new puzzles.

I love working with and around digital comics.
And while I hope to get back to a point where that can sustain me enough to quit my day job again, I'm still so happy and jazzed that I get to even slightly contribute to bringing creators' work to device screens everywhere.

It's almost like the delivery format has an effect on the storytelling experience
I think a lot of webtoons have bad pacing when collected because what works for an infinite scroll read doesn't work on the page. And print editions are unwilling or unable to do the edits that would solve the pacing issues caused by the medium switch
Anyone have a particularly hot comic take?

This is a great piece with stuff in it that I think about A LOT. Since I was a kid, it was the non-licensed comics that captured my imagination, and that still hasn't changed. They're always my faves.
I think creativity right now is flourishing, if only we can get people to buy the books.

It's a high time for the direct market, but non-licensed comics — i.e. creator-owned + other original comics — are going through a "wildly unpredictable" period.
In this week's feature, I talked to creators about navigating this uncertain time, what's fueling it, and how it's affecting their plans.
