What I'm Doing...

  • @Locnar1970 @Greyhawk68 A man is defined by his nemesis! Who among you is worthy? 4 hrs ago
  • @cullenbunn is right: some days, it really would help to have a nemesis. 5 hrs ago

Diverse City (in Comics)

By Mike | January 16, 2006

Just this morning I filled out an email interview with Mike Conroy of Comics International, and one of my answers touches upon how I’ve managed to be an avid comics reader for over twenty years without reading a lot of superhero books. This isn’t an easy task, especially in the States, where the majority of the books on the shelves (and the majority of the titles publishes by the Big Two) deal with the Spandex-wearing crowd.

As such, it was nice to see my publisher, Joe Gentile of Moonstone Books, tackle this very problem in his latest Newsarama column.

I may be biased, but he’s got a great point. And keep in mind, he’s a retailer running four comic shops, not just a publisher, which I think gives him a much broader perspective on these things than your average small press publisher.

What more can a newb comics creator want?
