Comics made me an optimist.

Comics taught me that what I do matters, no matter how much it seems the opposite might be true.

Comics are THE BEST storytelling medium, a perfect marriage of story and art.

Comics go big, and they don’t apologize for it.

Comics go small, and somehow that works too.

Comics mean a lot to me. They taught me (and keep teaching me) what humanity can aspire to be at its very best. And when they’re done right, comics are also rad as hell.

This blog celebrates those two things. We’re going to be talking about GOOD-ASS comic books. Stuff that’s uplifting, hilarious, or just plain awesome. With a smattering of seriousness thrown in here and there.

That’s the manifesto. Check back on Aug. 23 for a retrospective on the future.
