My absolutely bonkers Marvel or DC Comics business plan; take a couple hundred million of that movie money or that CEO money and make all digital/webcomics free. 100% subsidized. Pay the best writers, artists, and creators. Spare no expense. Play the long game and get everyone hooked forever.

That’s so.
A panel from an old Popeye comic strip. 

Popeye says, “A comic artist ain’t no different than you or me or anybody except he knows how to draw pictures and is crazy in the head.” 

A man replies, “Yeah, that’s so.”

I’ve worked in comics for a long time. So this is with the benefit of hindsight, but I think comic book publishers going all-in on optimizing print-to-digital distribution for phones, with some sort of panel view, was a massive strategic mistake that ultimately set the publishers back by years.

Actually crazy that the administration has boiled their brains with right-wing propaganda, social media, & AI slop, dismantled agencies with expertise that didn’t match the online discourse, and are now incapable of functioning other than shithead rage & insults as realty doesn’t match their posts.

Doomsday looks boring. Thanos’ story worked as an overarching threat because it was seeded into other stories, slowly revealed, until became THE story, in a classic Levitz Paradigm way, with A, B, & C plots overlapping. It’s one of the best methods of serialized superhero comic book storytelling!

I see people online talking about pitching comics and breaking in. Some things I think a lot of creators don’t quite get is that publishers don’t want unsolicited pitches. Ever. There’s no “wowing” an editor like this. It’s a legal nightmare! Unsolicited pitches usually go right in the trash. 1/3

I hate the framing of "The battle to replace ComiXology just took another turn." ComiXology hasn't been functional for 5+ years. But also, ComiXology was a reproduction of Diamond but in digital form. Which was ultimately bad for the comics industry for all the reasons that monopolies are bad!

Two panel comic. Panel 1: there’s a rap battle going on, with a small crowd of onlookers enjoying the show. The guy on the microphone raps, “this fool brought an ancient staff. You got no swag; it makes me laugh!” Panel 2: the rapper holding the other microphone is an evil sorcerer with sunken eyes and a long purple robe. In his other hand, he grasps an ancient magic staff, which instantly shoots a bolt of powerful energy at the first rapper, reducing him to ash. The crowd of people watching the battle react excitedly, in awe of the evil sorcerer’s skills.

One thing about "breaking into comics" that I think a lot of creators need to process is that unless you mean is "I want to be so famous I never need to look for a gig and/or have full autonomy to do whatever I want and be paid for it" then it's a myth. It's always going to be a freelance hustle.
