Comic Books are for Everyone

Comic books are often thought of as a medium exclusively for children, and emotionally immature adults. However, the truth is that they are a form of art and literature that can appeal to people of all ages and backgrounds. Whether you're a fan of superhero tales, fantasy adventures, horror stories, indie comics, or graphic novels, there's always something in the world of comics that will suit your personal tastes. One of the reasons why comic books are for everyone is that they are incredibly diverse. That's right, the comic book medium is genuinely one of the most diverse ones out there. Especially if you're looking in the right places. Just like any other form of literature or art, there are countless different styles, genres, and themes to choose from. From action-packed superhero stories to thought-provoking graphic novels, there's something for everyone. There's no need to feel excluded if one of the genres or styles doesn't appeal to you. Just look a little harder and you'll find the perfect comic book for you. Comics are a form of visual storytelling that is unique from other mediums. The combination of words and images allows creators to convey emotions and ideas in a way that is both powerful and nuanced. Comics are a great way to explore complex ideas and themes such as political issues, social commentary, and personal struggles or just escape into a world of fantasy and/or adventure. This makes comics a great tool for self-expression and creativity. Another reason why comics are for everyone is that they are accessible. Unlike other forms of literature or art, comics are relatively inexpensive, and you can find them at almost any bookstore or library. Additionally, with the advent of digital comics, it's easier than ever to access a wide variety of comics from all over the world. There's basically no good reason to say you've never read a comic book. For those who are new to the world of comics, it can be overwhelming to know where to start. There are so many different series, creators, and publishers, it can be hard to know where to begin. But the great thing about comics is that you can always find something that suits your own personal tastes. If you're a fan of superhero stories, there are countless series to choose from, such as Batman, Superman, Spider-Man, and more. Personally, I'm a fan of the classic storylines. I'm not really into a lot of the directions that Marvel and DC have taken some of their legacy characters in. I'd have liked to see more new characters coming out of studios of that caliber by now, but I've been disappointed. If you're more interested in indie comics, there are plenty of independent publishers and creators that produce comics in a wide range of styles and genres. One of the beautiful things about comic books is that there is basically no barriers preventing someone from creating and releasing their own comic book. So even if you're looking for something a little more mature, there are countless graphic novels that explore complex themes and ideas. Of course, not every comic book is going to be to everyone's taste. Just like with any other form of literature or art, there will be comics that you don't enjoy. But that's okay. The beauty of comics is that there are so many different options available, you're bound to find something that you like. So, if you come across a comic book that you don't enjoy, don't give up on comics altogether. Certainly don't try to shoehorn or force yourself into a community that doesn't work for you. Instead, keep looking for something that you do like. Comic books are not just for children or young adults, they are a form of art and literature that can appeal to people of all ages and backgrounds. With the diverse range of styles, genres, and themes available, there is always something in the world of comics that will suit your personal tastes. So, whether you're a fan of superhero stories, indie comics, or graphic novels, there's a comic book out there for everyone.

I would like to be able to edit videos via telekinesis...

I have a 3 part "Let's Make an Art" mini-series in the editing phase... Which is great... other than the fact that it means I have to re-watch 2+ hours of myself talking and drawing in order to edit it down into 3 coherent chunks of watchable content with even a mild entertainment value. I posted a Behind the Scenes Exclusive to my Ko-Fi supporters. It's neat. Anyway, that's all for this little bloggy woggy. I dunno why I typed that. No, I'm not procrastinating on editing... why would you...

I've Been Thinking... is that ever good?

I have no shortage of places that I could post my nonsense. What I do seem to have a shortage of, is attention span. I often forget to post to, write on, or update things. However, I've recently been getting much better at that sort of thing. Maybe it's an improvement in overall mental health. Whatever it is, I'm not complaining. That's what brings us here, now. I keep forgetting that my website is more than just a shop for me to sell prints in or a portfolio to post my art to. It's a whole...
