Re: Year-End Best of 2015 Episode

I don't have choices for all these categories, but I WILL chime in on those I feel most strongly about. Also, I greatly privilege small press/indie titles, self-contained OGN or trade volumes, manga, and webcomics, and most of the categories here reflect primarily the mainstream periodical industry....

Re: Welcome to the forum / Introduce Yourself

Hey guys. Let me chime in here on the "craft" discussion. I'm not sure that it brings much clarification in defining or differentiating certain kinds of comics, one from the other. And there's the unintended consequence of the use of "craft" or "crafted," as well. To us...

Re: Previews Spotlight #069 (July -> Sep): July 6th, 5pm pac

Hey guys! I don't see many people outside of John suggesting what they'll discuss this month. So I'll chime in here. I won't say anything about GOD IS DEAD, as I had thought I might, since John has that is a CBP pick. But I'll contribute clips on the following: DARK HORSE - Resident Alien - Bandette...

Re: "All-in"?

From what I've heard, most readers get the monthly titles from the Big Two's mainstream (primarily superhero) offerings, and then with their more alternative stuff, such as Vertigo, or with other publishers such as Image, Dark Horse, or Oni, they many times wait for the trades. That does seem to be...

Re: "All-in"?

I'm not "all in" with either DC or Marvel, but then again, my reading habits are quite a bit different from most of you. I read a number of Marvel and (especially) DC titles, but I tend to do the inverse of what most folks do. From what I've heard, most readers get the monthly titles from ...

Re: Dallas Comic Con, anyone?

I'm considering it but haven't decided yet. Part of it will depend if my sister wants to make the drive with me or not. I tend to get lost in the Dallas metroplex and she is more familiar with the area than am I. If you go, John, be sure to let me know. We could finally meet in person, and that wou...

Re: Previews Spotlight submission deadline?

Personally, I think we offer something unique with the Previews Spotlight episodes in which we allow everybody interested to have their say about way it being offered in that Previews.

Re: Previews Spotlight submission deadline?

Hey guys. Let me chime in here. I tend to generate a good number of my monthly review clips from the back half of the catalog, and with several of those publishers I won't know what they are soliciting on a particular month until I see the Previews catalog. It's a little different with some of the b...

It's called The Comics Alternative , and it's devoted to alternative/indepe...
