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.

Been playing Stadrew Valley with my 6yo daughter. It's really supporting her reading and imagination.
But she won't work on her farm! In Cumbria we'd call it a 'scrow'.
I asked her the other day if she'd taken her geodes to the blacksmith. She replied, "No, but I found a cookie in a bin."

BREAKING: After months of stonewalling by Starbucks, unionized baristas just voted 92% to authorize a ULP strike unless Starbucks finalizes fair contracts & stops union busting.
If forced, our baristas will strike in dozens of cities on November 13 – the company's busiest sales day of the year.
