Despite record sales across the industry the state of the creator-owned market seems dire right now. Multiple publishers are scaling back their line, a few don't seem to know what they want, others have pretty much shifted focused to entirely licensed books. It's weird!

I know it's where we're at in 2026 and we all know it, but it bears stating the obvious that every major company in the world is openly throwing a tantrum that people expect them to provide goods and services instead of just sending them a payment of $200 every month for nothing

It was really cool seeing so many people say they found Bear Pirate Viking Queen via your pod and bought it just off the art and then ended up loving the comic. That one is special because I was among the first to read it so I feel very connected and I loved seeing people find and connect to it.
