There is No Comics Industry. It's Up To Us! Kayfabe Weekly Shoot: 12/29/2022 by Cartoonist Kayfabe
Since Ryan's stuck in a well saving puppies while battling conniving co-op boards, and Raman's buried in the demands of fatherhood and an international life of crime, we enlisted friend-of-the-pod BRAD BERENS to fill the gap (and your earholes).

In Brad's latest "weekly dispatch" e-newsletter, Brad dropped some interesting thoughts about the state of the modern comic book industry, and how it tracks against the broader trends in the fragmenting media industry. If you like what you here and want to hear weekly big ideas, cool stories, and what it all means subscribe @ BradBerens.substack.com. And we'll be soon to talk about one nation's descent into fascim. You know, happy stuff.

She’s taught at Maryland Institute College of Art and is currently on the Cartooning faculty at School of Visual Arts.

Hey everybody, Magnus here. In 1992, Seven Men Disrupted The Comic Book Industry. And it was awesome! I love 1990s-era Image Comics. It's hard to find a comic book publisher that launched with more anticipation, excitement and hype than Image Comics did. I love Image Comics so much, in fact, that beginning in March of 2020 I'm embarking upon a brand new epic mega series. These Seven Men Are Disrupting The Comic Book Industry. I'm taking a fond long back at a handful of early 90s Image titles. What was good? What was bad? What were some missed opportunities? Well, things couldn't have been too horrible because those comics sold millions and millions of copies. So join in on the fun with me and take a fond look back at the comics of yesteryear.

The jewel in the crown of the MCM / ReedPOP convention schedule, The MCM London Comic Con - taking over the ExCel Centre in London's Docklands over the weekend of Friday 26th-Sunday 28th October - was truly a breathtaking collection of the world's best media creators, from the world of comics, to manga/anime, to film and television, to role-playing and beyond. It was truly a sight to behold. And An Englishman In San Diego was part of it! Leonard Sultana hosted a number of panels and presentations at the show, both on the Comic Stage, the Centre Stage and also at a couple of satellite panels for invited VIP's - these are those recordings! The CBLDF (Comic Book Legal Defence Fund), represented by Alex Cox at the show, charged MCM to hold a roundtable discussion about the current state of comics coming from the US, taking on board recent arguments and conflicts within both fandoms, readership and creators themselves about diversity and representation, about the stemming of the tide of apparent falling sales and the landscape of comics, especially in regards to what are called the Big Two (Marvel & DC) and beyond. It was a fascinating conversation, in which Leonard was joined by Tara Ferguson, who works within the US and direct market with many creatives, retailers and publishers, and Lauren Klasik, representing one of the most exciting independent publishers on the shelves today, Zenescope Entertainment. Enjoy! Intro Music: 'Punky', bensounds.com

Harassment is a long standing crisis in the comics industry -- and despite brave voices speaking out, rarely have harassers suffered any consequences. Mainstream reporting on the open secret of sexual harasser Eddie Berganza has finally lead to his firing and now more stories of harassment are coming to light. We think it's time to talk to a lawyer-- an employee rights attorney. We'll not only be discussing some of the high profile harassment cases in the comic industry but also what folks need to know in their every day workplace.

Pencil Kings | Inspiring Artist Interviews with Today's Best Artists
What was it like to work as editor for Marvel Comics in its heyday? In this interview, Carl Potts talks about the exciting creative scene in NYC in the 1980s and discovering artists such as Mike Mignola, Arthur Adams, and Jim Lee. He sheds light on how artists can break into the industry, and breaks down the fundamental skills editors are looking for. Drawing on his years of experience as an artist, creative director, and teacher, Carl goes on to explain how artists can utilize the power of social media and the internet combined with networking to get a foot in the door of any creative industry, and provides clarity on the mindset you need to adopt if you want to be successful. Interview Chapters: 00:00 - 01:09 - Introduction 01:10 - 02:04 - Carl Potts Career Overview 02:05 - 06:15 - How Carl got his First Big Break in The Industry 06:16 - 24:00 - Carl on the Golden Age of Marvel Comics 25:00 - 33:30 - Learning Resources for Artists 33:30 - 42:44 - How to Get Your Work Seen by the Right People 42:45 - 45:43 - How to Adopt the Right Mindset for Success 45:44 - 48:24 Conclusion
We have our first ever Holiday sale next week. Sales are trending down across the industry because readers are no longer engaged. Event recapping: Local Comic Shop Day and Art Baltazar. Were YOU there? What could make Local Comic Shop Day a success? How would we engage people without the internet? Rounding up for charity, and why we won’t do it. All the new X-Men titles and creative teams from Marvel. Wicker Park has a new hotel and hopefully we can use it! 250 prints in 10 separate boxes.
The Coven gathers to stir up the cauldron of issues surrounding women in the comics industry, especially with the Chelsea Cain situation. It's already obvious that the lion's share of caped crusaders or masked heroes are male - so it's no surprise when we find that there aren't many ladies writing comics. Unfortunately, where we can find examples of women working in comics they're often harassed on Twitter, another thing we've come to expect, and sexually harassed in their own workplace. The comics industry continually proves itself to be a dangerous place for women: they might be threatened with rape online, bitten in their office, or fired because men doing the harassing and biting can't control themselves. Share in our shock and outrage at the current state of women in comics and rejoice in how far we've come in terms of diversity in one of our favorite nerdy medias. But mostly be scared of Bitey the Clown.

In a ‘rewarding’ episode, we talk about how Five Stars is working out for us as a customer rewards program. Is it needed to stay competitive? On the heels of Wizard World Chicago, we reminisce about our earliest con-going experiences (and John Byrne). Armed robbery (not of Challengers, but next to). Secret product drops and the comics industry. Civil War II is late and longer and going to wrap AFTER the new Marvel Now launches, just like Secret Wars and All-New All-Different Marvel. So we DON’T learn from mistakes? Patrick is digging a bunch of Dark Horse titles.
There is not a place we can turn where current events are not effecting our every day lives. I feel incredibly honored to unveil the first episode of comic fuel to feature Ulises Fariñas and Lucy Bellwood as cohosts. Ulises and I jump right into the questions and geek out on what is important to think about when inking - both digital and traditional. We then go into great depth discussing "style" and how it is actually an incidental occurrence in your art as opposed to a measured goal. Lucy hops in during question three to talk about how to think about drawing background art in your panels. Ulises and I cap the entire episode off with a very important discussion regarding how race and equity is reflected in the comic industry. In fact, in writing the show notes for that segment, I was delighted to find several amazing articles that dealt specifically with how the comic industry is connecting to these important topics. This episode also includes some amazing borrow audio clips from Jason Brubaker, Ven. Robina Courtin, and art educator John Spencer. Such an amazing third episode. Easily the hardest I've worked on yet. Hopefully I can keep it up!

(01:26:00) Show Outro Questions answered in this episode (jump-to specific question times listed below) Josh: What are some good resources to improve your digital inking? I feel like I know the basics, so beginner books aren't really teaching me anything new. I'm completely self taught, and would love to learn some subtly with my inks. Maya: How do comic artists deal with improvements in their style while making a comic book? Should a comic artist keep a consistent style? If so, how much should one practice style before starting to make comics? Michael, Poland: What are the elements of style of particular artists if I want to use their style in my own work? I usually think of such elements as: the coloring method used (with computer or water colors), shading, …. but what is it that distinguishes the one from the other? There are general groups of artists (e.g. European, Asian, …) who have similar style - how come they can be grouped - what is the key? Jasmine: How often would you focus on comic backgrounds? Are details like that important? Thanks to this week's cohosts!
