Rounding Into A New Way Of Working: CR Patreon Update



So this was a crazy week for me and this site, as we begin to develop a new way of approaching my work in comics. I have a breakdown of desired featured interviews through the end of the year and a big list of interviews for the site I'd like to see done as well. The issue #0 material is imminent. I'm thinking of concentrating on feature material for that one. The #0 issue will help us settle into font and basic design choices.

My job right now is to diminish the learning curve as quickly as possible, hopefully to a non-noticeable standard. Judging by past efforts at TCJ, with the Wildwood strip and with this site, I've never been one to come out and just kill it Groucho-style from the opening number. I think #0 will be good, and give you and idea of what's to come, and be a bit quirky because of its "0" status, but I'm more fully confident #1 will be better in addition to being more complete and future issues will reine that until I get my sea legs underneath me.

This site solicited some opinions as to coverage areas. I was surprised by how smart they were across the board; I thought we'd get more goofballs. Because I hope The Comics Report will be a practical magazine, I want to make sure that lines of communication are open at all times in terms of things folks would like to see engaged, approached and examined. I'm thinking we might even get an old-fashioned letters column going.

Thank you so much for your patience as we've worked through this week's campaign. Starting next Saturday, really the only thing that matters is the result, both in that developing publication and right here at the traditional CR. If you've joined us, thank you twice. Comics in 2015 should be joyful and exciting and eager to stand up to the challenges that it faces. I look forward to covering the next thrilling few years, as best I'm able.
