Fans are buying more comics as sales jump 20% year-on-year for the second year in a row New comics industry data and retailer conversations show strong Q1 sales and growing enthusiasm for new lines like Skybound/Hasbro's Energon Universe and DC's Absolute.

What if... comics AREN'T doomed?!? Despite doomsaying from many, fan confidence (and sales) in comics keeps improving, according to market trends.

I can now officially say that Absolute Martian Manhunter, thanks to your overwhelming response, has been extended to 12 issues. @javierrodriguez.bsky.social and Hass and I are all super excited. Every issue will be by the same creative team, no fill ins. :) It's going to be great.

I did a presentation to my mom’s Jr. High class about comics and comics publishing and they thought it was the coolest thing ever. The majority of the comics readers in the class were young girls but they were all super excited to hear someone talk about comics since it’s so niche in their town!

Great piece! I really love this breakdown! I’d be very interested to see how the Invincible and Saga compact editions are selling comparatively!

Really glad that these editions are selling well. Readers value value in this day and age and compact editions are an excellent way to provide it.

Absolution as the #8 bestseller at Powell's Hawthorne, next to Miranda July, Sally Rooney, and more...

Rows of Area X hardcovers and more

Hey, Portland! The Powell's Hawthorne location once again has signed copies of my books.

Oh great, yet another hoop to jump through as I try to find an editorial position…

Let’s go! So excited for this!

This is quite literally one of my dream jobs. I applied the day applications opened and I’m just waiting to hear back. I did my thesis on how publishers can limit risk when publishing Special Projects. All of my fingers are crossed and I’m so excited about this possibility.

Been working on ways to bring more readers into comics while working at Powell’s Books. My first step was a *brief* reading order for Batman, main titles from New 52 to today. More characters and publishers coming soon! @ssnyder1835.bsky.social @tomking.bsky.social @jamesthefourth.bsky.social
