Just deleted Twitter after ignoring it for years, so I didn't see myself being better at posting here. However the new International Journal of Comic Art is out and you can see the ToC on the blog at ijoca.blogspot.com

I really want to see comics twitter rebuild itself here.
If you think of yourself as part of that world- whether that means creative, editorial, marketing, retail, library, academia, journalism, criticism, active fan- reply with a "yo" so the funnybook people can find you. RTs help, too!
