This book sets a lofty goal: to redefine the science fiction genre. Well, it seems the redefining will start next…

May 27, 2013 3:07 pm To me, Free Comic Book Day isn't about getting free comic books. It's about promoting the industry that we all love, valuing the work of creators we admire, and getting out to show some support. One of the things about the digital age and the collapsing economy (happening simultaneously, which is weird, but I digress) is that people sometimes forget to support the things that really matter. I will visit my LCS (which is a very lame store) and buy some books every FCBD, because I don't want to see the store disappear. I hope there is always a FCBD.
May 20, 2013 10:21 am It's a tough time in the industry, right? As indie publishing options expand and creators want to do creator owned work, we're going to see a lot of changes. The way I see it, working for DC or Marvel is still a very special thing, and worth enduring whatever editorial wants from you. Of course, if you really feel like certain editorial demands will ruin your run on a book, maybe creative integrity demands you have to walk. If you put out a crappy book, the reading public may never forgive you--even if the real reason came from editorial. DC and Marvel will have to rethink what it takes to keep great creators on their books, and in the end that should mean better books for all of us.
