Indie comics community, especially the Black indie comics space, we have to be better.

Better at collaborating.
Better at doing real business with each other.
Better at communicating professionally.
Better at showing up the way we expect others to show up for us.

We can’t keep saying the industry overlooks us while we overlook each other, undercut each other, ignore opportunities to build together, or move sloppy with our own brands.

Every post, every deal, every missed deadline, every public interaction, every customer experience, it all speaks for your company before your logo ever does.

If we want the world to take Black indie comics seriously, we have to take our own companies seriously first.

Be a better brand ambassador.
Protect your reputation.
Honor your word.
Respect the business.
Collaborate with intention.
And hold yourself accountable.

The space is growing, but growth without professionalism becomes noise.

Let’s build better.

🚨 DC might finally be cooking with Lanterns 🚨

HBO turning Green Lantern into a cosmic crime thriller instead of just another CGI superhero show might be the smartest move they’ve made in YEARS.

Hal Jordan + John Stewart.
True Detective vibes.
Space cops.
Ancient cosmic mystery.

If this lands… Green Lantern could become one of DC’s biggest franchises overnight 👀
