HEY PUBLISHERS: pay attention to this entire thread; and recognize that a HUGE part of the problem is assigning comics projects to editors with no comics knowledge or experience. Editing comics is a discrete discipline, and when you don't recognize that, you fuck both creators and yourself over.
I've had to explain that no, I cannot pencil and ink a 260-page GN in two months, do you even understand the words you're saying to me? I've been asked to design characters, pencil, ink, and color a 200-page GN myself in eight months (I said no).

Fun fact! I brought this book to an interview for a creative writing teaching job, and they were so delighted with it that I let them have my copy. (I also got the job, lol)
Halloween might be over for everyone else, but since our flagship series is about queer witches of color, it's always time for witchy shenanigans in THIS house. 🧹😤🪄✨🕸️🐈⬛ buff.ly/uvDwuyD
