With Phillip Rollins of Offbeat, Mike cofounded The Ink Alliance, a 10-store coalition of Black-owned Direct Market retailers thought to represent more than half of all such shops in North America.

When Mike Davis of Blerds Underground looked around at ComicsPro 2023, he was surprised to find no one who looked like him. He started asking around... "Where are all the Black retailers?" The collective response: "Let us know when you find them." Three years later, he's doing exactly that.

I scheduled this video to release while my wife and I were on vacation in the Smoky Mountains. Kinda overwhelmed by the amount of comments, so I'm gonna pretend they don't exist and just look at these photos I took instead. youtu.be/2h1SUNtimjg

Most of the time, my YouTube thumbnails are an afterthought. So I'm proud when a good idea comes to me. Here's the set for all my Dakota Incident interviews. Part 2 with @stephwilliams.bsky.social drops later this week!

The OG title of this video crashed and burned. I want to call it “The Incredible Legacy of Dwayne McDuffie”, but don’t want to interrupt the people discovering it with the current name.

I was recently asked why my comic reviews don’t feature more stories for adults. While I disagree with the premise, here’s why I don’t cover more books with mature themes.
