Applies to novels, too, and it kinda hit a nerve as I'm prepping to go back into edits soon
Not all feedback is good or has redeeming qualities, sometimes even from folks who know comics. You have to carefully pick the people whose feedback you take:
Do they care what you're doing or trying to do? Can they put their own biases aside? Can they be honest? Can they resist directing you?

I AM SUCH A FANGIRL OF IT GOES LIKE THIS. I have been yelling at everyone I can to read it like just PLEASE!!!
No you know what, I am adding IT GOES LIKE THIS by Miel Moreland. And I will forever stand by that Zack Smedley and K. Ancrum are two of the most underrated authors in YA and it is so freaking unbearable and also annoying.

This rather sucks: apparently the company behind Libby/Overdrive (which is the dominant way to access ebooks etc. through your local library) is now in the hands of the vulture capitalists who took down Toys R’Us.
And signs of enshittification are already showing.

Why? So they can end my meal after the first course without warning and just leave me sitting there staring at my plate wondering what I could have eaten next?
Netflix is opening a restaurant, Peacock does custom embroidery, you can get a root canal at the Paramount lot, CBS raises and trains show Cockapoos, AppleTV makes artisanal Xanax that you can have monogrammed, HBO is now a horse

Just did a human verification captcha thing that made you select the picture where the top of the (many) dice added up to 14.
THEY MADE ME DO THIS TEN TIMES. I DO NOT MATH WELL AT 11:40PM AT NIGHT. WHY.
