So! I did an interview with CBR this past week about PUBLIC DOMAIN, which meant I got into it a bit about the state of the comic industry. At some point I was asked about comic news sites, and I admitted that I didn’t really engage with them because of their clickbait-style headlines and articles.
Anyway, the day before the full interview came out they posted this article with an excerpt:
Anyway, at no point in my interview did I really talk about James’ influence on comic sales. I didn’t say they’d go up, I didn’t say they’d go down. I was just like, “James is a good guy.” So, yeah, I got clickbaited in my interview talking about how I don’t care for clickbait! I’m not even mad! It’s just funny!
Anyway, the actual interview had me putting my serious hat on. So go check it out if you like when I’m serious!
WHY SO SERIOUS
Because comics are serious business!!!
You know who else is serious? Librarians! They’re always telling me to be quiet and that library computers “aren’t for those sites”! So I’m beyond excited that they have deemed my work worthy with a STARRED REVIEW in the Library Journal!
What does this mean for me? It means I now CAN look at “those sites” on the library computers and they’re powerless to stop me!
CONGRATULATIONS
Thank you
Now for today’s reader question!
Chip, I just want to know if you based Daredevil’s scratchy beard on your own. Thanks, that’s all
-Zach Garcia
Actually, Daredevil’s beard is very soft, so no. But can we just appreciate how beautiful Marco draws it? AND Elektra’s hair?
Here’s a SNEAK PEEK of upcoming art of our gorgeous couple!
Jeez, that Marco is something else.
Okay! For all you KAPTARA-HEADS (Kaptaniacs?), here’s the latest installment! Next week we begin PUBLIC DOMAIN issue six!
DARTORRRRRRR!!!!!
See you next week!
Love,
Chip!
Chip,
If you could smooch one Marvel hero and one Marvel villain, who would it be?
For me it's gotta be Slapstick and Sugar Man - they seem like good smoochers!
Love,
Joe
You say you don’t like clickbait, but I’m certain you know exactly which Sex and the City character you are!
