Oh my goodness, it’s your new favorite column back for another week!
This week, arguably the biggest thing to happen to me was the weird blowing up of a little article I wrote on Friday afternoon. David started a new column based on an idea from his god (Warren Ellis) in order to discuss industry trends. Due to the large amount of tasks David has taken on recently, this article kind of fell to the wayside and David wasn’t writing it anymore. Well, I’m always trying to find ways to bump up our content, so I decided to take it over as I have about a months worth of good articles in me right now, and I started with something I’d been trying to get David to write for a while: Comic Book Piracy.
What resulted was several links (all greatly appreciated), backing by Ron Marz, and intense discussion in the comments section. You know, this is what is really great about the website. We saw a brand new crowd of users and a brand new crowd of opinions and thoughts, all from one little thing that I never even imagined might be viewed as important or relevant in any way. Of course, the agreement in the article’s comments section was rather minimum, but never the less.
With that in mind, I bring you this week’s round-up of news articles and posts from your faithful crew at Multiversity Comics.
