This is great. And new to me!

Yeah, in the last 6 years I haven’t had to deal with it much because I’ve written everything I’ve drawn/had to promote. How naive of me to think that the ship might have turned corse a little in that time, lol.

Thanks so much, Holly. Agreed; definitely challenges all across the board. Part of what makes this sting is that we’ve been having an open discussion asking for better artist representation for years now. These sites exist to report on the visual medium of comics 🤦🏽‍♂️ Dark Horse shares blame here, too.

Hey there’s no monopoly on padded doors in spy offices!

🙏🙌 It is baffling to me, too!

I appreciate that, man. This is on Dark Horse, as well, unfortunately. They likely supplied the content. So multiple people thought “well that’s all we need” smh

Yeah, and it’s likely a canned PR from DH, but if it’s being published with a byline, idk why a small effort can’t be made to include the team. I feel like the colorist would have some interesting stuff to say about setting the mood for something like this as well.

I appreciate it! So many of us have been banging this drum for years, and I did several books where it wasn’t a problem over the last 6 years, but it was because I was also the writer 😅

Thank you!

I won’t get into the BTS, but I put up with a lot on this book & did some editorial problem-solving to help the team, specifically on this first issue being shown.

To be cast aside in he book’s press, esp by an Eisner-winning site like Comics Beat is disheartening. Hope they do better in the future

I actually turned this project down initially, in large part b/c I knew I’d receive 3rd billing (Le Carré, then Matt, then me) on a book I’d be putting the most work into out of anyone involved. I feel like Comics Beat is usually a little better about this stuff.

Disappointing.

Thanks dude!

You’re not missing much tbh. The attendees are always great, but I went back last year for the first time since Covid hit, and it was not well-run. It’s an autograph show now.

Like, this is a damning indictment against every NIMBY in Portland, OR & Vancouver, WA attributing our trash problem with encampments.

Our unhoused neighbors are being blamed for the illegal dumping of housed people, because housed people don’t want to pay to dispose of their garbage properly. 👇🏾
