White Ash 1 to 10 (and a half) The long-running, hit fantasy series about Elves and Dwarves in Pennsylvania, returns with two ALL-NEW ISSUES!

Why do comic creators self-promote all the time?

Because we have to.

Even working with a publisher that's supportive, press only goes so far. The rest of the success falls on the shoulder of the creator rallying their fanbase.

So here's mine. I'll RP yours.

i left that movie with the conclusion that both Ghibli and Miyazaki will have an end and that's okay, I don't like the general thought that Miyazaki hates his son's work (and him too) and I felt that this movie was a way to tell him that he shouldn't be burdened with mantaining his "legacy".

The longer you’re in comics, your aspirations change from “I’d like to work with that publisher some day” to “I refuse to ever work with that publisher again” lol

Panel 1
INT. EL SLEEZO’S DISCOUNT RECORDS – MID MORNING –ABOVE SHOT OF
AL AND BARNEBUS
Barnebus looks tired on his first day of work, as if he isn’t
used to waking up at around 9:00 or so. Al begins to list off

himself awake.

he’ll be using, with the Velvet Brush, microfiber brush, and
cleaning spray laid out in that specific order.
AL (OP)
CAPTION

Panel 3
Now I don’t know if your parents have ever
taught you how to clean these, but in case they
haven’t, it’s pretty simple. You’ll be using
these.
Velvet brush, microfiber brush and cleaning
CLOSE UP OF AL
Al then begins laying down the record cleaning procedure. Grabbing onto the Microfibre brush, he starts dusting off a random record to demonstrate.
AL So first thing’s first, take your microfiber
              here, and start brushing the dust and static out
              in a circular fashion, just like how I’m
              demonstrating. Next you-
BARNEBUS (OP) Zzz...

All love to the centrist white dudes joining the chorus (even if some of it is likely for internet clicks).

Here’s a zine story that Ramon made over a year ago:

Green Goblin swooping up a really horrified Mary Jane

Green Goblin swooping up a really horrified Mary Jane

Green goblin, having been hit, extends beyond the panel outline of a first pagewide panel, and hits the wall and slumps further down it over the progression of the bottom three evenly sized vertical panels. He’s physically lower in each subsequent one, despite differing angles and distances

A nice panel grid—easily stuff due to its aggressively “fixed” nature—is bounded through demonically, stretching out an inevitable horror

A horizontal pagewide pane at both the top and bottom of the page show Peter and Mary jane’s reactions to the circumstances, while between them, in the middle layer of the page, three vertical panels showing Harry’s choice to stay unbalanced are weighted as a progression down by connecting through colour the top of the left one with the upper panel, and the bottom of the right with the lower panel, though the panels themselves are rendered level

Sal Buscema was a splendid character artist who (vitally; unexpectedly) found a swingin figure energy for spider-man in the 90s—bringing the rhythm back, to make a whole other domestic setup feel foundational—but it wasn’t just that—he was also such a fine panelsman. Snap ur fingers:

I’m not saying we don’t need all hands on deck. Happy to have anyone join the team

It’s just frustrating to see the trend always play out: a marginalized person makes something out of a place of struggle & necessary expression of the pain it comes with; crickets. White guys do it; celebration.
