For @ICV2's second manga week coverage this year, I explain why Japanese companies keep opening digital manga platforms in North America, plus how these platforms differ from digital comics platforms built in North America. icv2.com/articles/columns/vi…

NOW THIS IS A GREAT ARTICLE! Seeing the explosion of interest in LINE WEBTOON - it's long past time that there was a real discussion of this new wave of digital comics and it's role within the traditional brick and mortar comic book stores. Glad to see @ICV2 and @BrigidAlverson address this with a convo with three SOLID comic book stores (I know of two of them) including our friend Jen King and her awesome store Space Cadet Collection Collection. Hope to see more discussion about this new age of digital first comics as well as DIVERSITY since both clearly represent the future of the medium. Read it here. icv2.com/articles/news/view/…

Lots of great comics and art events happening in October, from #NYCC to #LightBox to #SDCF. If the big shows don't focus on pros and old time fans, there are plenty of options. My latest at @icv2 ICv2: icv2.com/articles/columns/vi…
