Loving this run! Could easily read 100+ issues of it!

Oh man, Silksong has been consuming my life. Hollow Knight was a near perfect game to me but Silksong is just so stylish and fluid! Loving every second of it.

And lastly is my graphic memoir display. Front and center is my favorite recent read by “The Future of Comics” @zoethorogood.bsky.social. This graphic novel made me feel lots of feelings. This display also features the classics from Spiegelman, Thompson, Takei.

Next is my seasonal graphic novel display featuring titles from First Second, DC, Skybound, and Image! @remender.bsky.social and @jamesthefourth.bsky.social are always killing it! I’m also super exciting to highlight Saint Catherine by Anna Meyer!

I’m up for an exciting Assistant Editor position at a comics company. I’m incredibly eager to hear back soon. Really eager for what is, hopefully, the next chapter of my comics journey!

PORTLAND: First Friday Office Hours are back! This Friday, May 2nd, I'll be at Eisner-winning comic shop Books With Pictures at 1401 SE Division, 4-6PM, giving professional feedback on your comics art.
@bkswpicspdx.bsky.social Details for how it works in the linked thread. Any questions, ask here!

Steve Lieber: NYCC K-19 @stevelieberart.bsky.social · Jan 30

You show me 6-8 pages of comics storytelling. I'll give you feedback based on my 30 years in comics. What works, what doesn't, how to tweak a panel for clarity or impact, tips for saving labor- the sort of advice your teacher at a comics class might offer.

What if... comics AREN'T doomed?!? Despite doomsaying from many, fan confidence (and sales) in comics keeps improving, according to market trends.

Details here: www.thepopverse.com/comics-prana...

Fans are buying more comics as sales jump 20% year-on-year for the second year in a row

New comics industry data and retailer conversations show strong Q1 sales and growing enthusiasm for new lines like Skybound/Hasbro's Energon Universe and DC's Absolute.

I can now officially say that Absolute Martian Manhunter, thanks to your overwhelming response, has been extended to 12 issues. @javierrodriguez.bsky.social and Hass and I are all super excited. Every issue will be by the same creative team, no fill ins. :) It's going to be great.
