It's almost like the delivery format has an effect on the storytelling experience
I think a lot of webtoons have bad pacing when collected because what works for an infinite scroll read doesn't work on the page. And print editions are unwilling or unable to do the edits that would solve the pacing issues caused by the medium switch
Anyone have a particularly hot comic take?

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.
Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

This is a great piece with stuff in it that I think about A LOT. Since I was a kid, it was the non-licensed comics that captured my imagination, and that still hasn't changed. They're always my faves.
I think creativity right now is flourishing, if only we can get people to buy the books.

It's a high time for the direct market, but non-licensed comics — i.e. creator-owned + other original comics — are going through a "wildly unpredictable" period.
In this week's feature, I talked to creators about navigating this uncertain time, what's fueling it, and how it's affecting their plans.

I wouldn't say it's our biggest selling point, as it was an easy call for us.
Yet another digital comic book app, Sweet Shop, launched its beta today with 24 publishers.
Biggest selling point, per the press release? "As part of their commitment to the hard work of creators and publishers, Sweet Shop does not accept AI comics."
