You might want to wear shades when talking about the future of @idwpublishing.com (unless you're talking about their horror imprint), because the future looks pretty damn bright for the publisher!

And @davidharper.bsky.social had a pretty fair take about the discourse surrounding the topic of WHERE people should start reading comics (Spoiler: there is no wrong place)

Brad Gullickson ( from @cbccpodcast.bsky.social ) got a round of applause from the audience after sharing his comic book hot take on our panel:

"We spend too much time talking about the collectability of comics"

This is so good. And so is the rest of the list! You chose some good ones. I was overthinking my list for days, but once I locked in on one hyperspecificty it was like the floodgates opened, lol

Cat's out of the bag (I don't think there ever was a bag). A fun episode with me and Harper and Hacker (attorneys at law) is coming out on @sktchd.bsky.social this week!

Mark Truesdale @marktweedale.bsky.social · 19d

I'm really fighting the impulse to just grab all my comics and start pointing out all the little things I love about them after listening to the latest episode of Off Panel. (I believe it comes out tomorrow-ish for non-Patrons.) @davidharper.bsky.social @badrm.bsky.social @chacker41.bsky.social

In this week's feature on SKTCHD, I talked with Jordan Blanco, the founder of League of Comic Geeks, dozens of its users, comic creators, and others inside the industry to answer a big question:

How and why did League of Comic Geeks become maybe the largest comics-centric community online?

SKTCHD @sktchd.bsky.social · Sep 17

League of Comic Geeks is many things. A pull list manager. Collection tracking. A place to rate and review comics.

It might also be the largest pure comics community online.

Today on SKTCHD, I explored how LoCG became a giant, and a core part of comics for many of its (staggering number of) users.

League of Comic Geeks Has Found the Answers - SKTCHD

On the omnipresent website/app, and how it’s quietly become one of - if not the - biggest comics communities online.

Catherine Zappa, VP of Digital Acquisition at @hoopladigital.bsky.social, was gracious with her time and knowledge.

I learned just how THOUSANDS of digital comics, manga, and graphic novels, from every publisher you can think of, makes it on the platform
