Opening the door to a wider world of expression
Today is New Comic Book Day, which is normally a happy occasion for those of who eagerly rush to our local comic shop (LCS) to pick up the latest four-color adventures. But this New Comic Book Day is unlike any other, in that it’s going to be the last one for an as-yet undetermined amount…
Just popping in quickly to say that this article about Wednesday Comics, the unique experiment that DC Comics launched ten years ago, is worth your time. And also that it’s time for DC to launch a sequel. Go read it! And also, while you’re here…
The last post mentioned that your humble (only because I’ve been humbled so many times) President and Publisher was going to be attending a convention. Since that time, the convention-attending has occurred, so I thought that I’d just pop in quickly and talk about it a bit. There is a lot I could say about…
On Twitter, as he is wont to do, Alex Segura has started a discussion related to comics. Who was your first #comicssupporter – the person that helped you go from casual to serious fan? For me, it was my dad – who bought me my first new/off the rack comic, AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #348. I’d read…
It’s #SignalBoostSunday! Follow the link to find creators to support. I’ve often talked about the high degree of “comic book insecurity” I had as a young fan.

Do it here! Terrible at everything? Post your stuff here anyway! Key takeaways: I like Owlturd Comix You should sign up to be…
Popping in just to share a link to this post at The Mary Sue. I love comics. I love reading them, writing them and also writing about them; comics are a big part of my life. What I don’t love is the industry that currently surrounds comics. Quite a few people are fighting to change…
After a great deal of searching and some trial-and-error – which will no doubt continue – I’ve managed to enable an automated registration process, allowing Creators to sign up and create their own site all at once. The solution – a plugin called BuddyPress – allows for the creation of a sort of internal social…
Deciding that it was past time that someone start posting some comics on a platform intended to host, you know, comics, I took it upon myself to create a comic and post it. I’m sorry. I’m sorry because it’s not very good, and because that’s not what OpenDoor Comics is about; I didn’t create this…
As I’ve been toiling away working on the Media Kit mentioned in my last post – which is why it’s been a while since my last post – there’s been something at the back of my mind that’s given me a bit of pause. We all know by now (I hope) that OpenDoor Comics is…
