  5. Imprinted Image: I’m Going Live Today at 2 Central

    Comics Link Roundup July 12

    Last week I asked and you answered. I now have more than 50 subscribers on YouTube, the requirement before you can go live. So, to celebrate, I’m doing a livestream today at 2 PM Central time. You can watch by clicking the video embedded below.

    https://www.youtube.com/live/hKSD-jnWpaY?si=e1gSFJH0izDeoM0p

    Anyways.

    Welcome to Imprinted Image, my comics newsletter. If this is your first time, welcome! This is the best way to keep up with my comics blog. After links to my most recent writing, I’ll provide a roundup of comics industry links. This can be news, media, criticism, or anything that I personally found interesting.

    Please don’t forget about the resources tab on this website. It’s a collection of reading guides, tutorials, and free legal resources like public domain image archives. I want this to be as useful as possible, so if you have any additions please send them my way.

    I made a comic! It’s a two-page mini-zine, and you can read it for free here. But! If you would like a cool print version mailed you, there are two ways you can do that. Either support me on Patreon to get this and any future physical media I do, or buy it on Ko-fi for as low as $ 1.

    I also have a behind the scenes video previewing the physical mini-comic, as well as some behind-the-scenes information on my inspiration.

    Comics Challenge YouTube

    I designed and am participating in a comics challenge this year, alongside some friends in the My Marvelous Year community. I have picked 52 comics from 52 categories, shown below. I’d love for you to participate and comment along as you are reading! Note that on this list, categories that match with episodes from the Extra Issues podcast.

    Comic Challenge Extra Issues Edition 2026Download

    I decided to create a YouTube documenting my reading journey!

    This week, I read the incredible LIFE AND TIMES OF SCROOGE MCDUCK. Who knew that Disney tie-in comics could look so good?

    https://youtu.be/XmH4DUhoxps?si=nWj_TY4tXOYoV_Xw

    Next week, in honor of Bastille Day, French month begins with THE SMURFS

    I’ve also been doing little shorts where I poorly read a scene I liked from these comics. I guess shortform video gets juiced in the algorithm because they have been blowing up. You can check out the playlist of them here.

    It would mean the world to me if, in addition to watching this video, you subscribed to my channel and gave the video a like. No one knows exactly how the black box of social media algorithms work, but I do know that if you interact with the video in different ways, YouTube might show it to more people who would be interested. The other easy way you can help is by sharing this video with a comic fan in your life!

    Link Roundup

    News:

    Variant Covers are continuing to be hot, but not without controversy. Due to claims by fans that comic shops are creating artificial scarcity with their custom variant cover drop schedules, DC comics has made a list of rules for their variant covers to prevent price gouging, and violators can be banned from purchasing DC comics going forward.

    There’s a new sales record for a piece of original comic art. No, it isn’t from Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko, Jerry Siegel or Bob Kane. It’s a piece by Don Heck, one of the first page drawings of Iron Man.

    The digital comics market is still in flux. Image takes their titles away from GlobalComix, meaning the only way to buy them now is on the Kindle, Apple, or Google Book store, or if you have access to the SweetShop beta, the only comics-focused reader with Image titles.

    Comix Wellspsring, a print service popular with independent comics, is suspending operations. This is after they recently announced a deal with GlobalComix to bring their digital first comics to print.

    Comic Book Yeti has a list of crowdfunding projects you may way to back

    Buy a bundle of digital comics for cheap over on Humble Bundle. They have a bunch of Sonic the Hedgehog comics.
