Recommended Articles for the Week of March 1
Here are my favorite reads for the week:
- This Daily Puppy is seriously cute. Look at his ears!
- The early days of Great Books.
- I haven’t been a regular reader of comic books in a long time, but this video by Chicago Comic Vault is great for several reasons.
It shows how comic book shops can, and really need to, build a community to support their business. One may think that the Venn diagram showing comic book store owners and techies will have a large shared area, but that’s just not true. It’s still very analog out there.
Also, Matt is so right about the publishers needing to parcel out the story better when they do their mega crossover events. Back in my reading days, I hated having to go around and around to collect all the pieces. Get me interested in the characters and let me pick up their book to try later. Don’t piecemeal me to death.
