"Let's fix this problem I only bother to read about every other decade or so. here, read this article focusing solely on only 2 publishers, & the zero solutions I can personally offer on the situation BUT FIX IT YOU GUYS."

no shit this is a problem. how are you shocked by reading about this in comics when society at large still hasn't solved these problems? but your call to action here insisting we fix it is kind of strange. firstly because if you're really that passionate about this, why only read up on it after long intervals of what, burying your head under a rock? but also, void has always seemed to have a fairly diverse crowd of creators for the length of time I've been on the site. that was one of the aspects I've really liked about it.

Well Kuro, you're surely living up to your Personal Text line with the subtle diss. I can be shocked when society hasn't solved these problems because the individuals most responsible for articles like that being written is us. I wouldn't frequent this site if I didn't see something that gives reason for optimism and anticipation of a bright future for comics as a respectable medium. My reason for posting the article was to generate conversation about an issue that is important to me as an aspiring creator in the industry.

I haven't read an article or book on the subject with this much umph, if you will, in quite some time. Not exactly the easiest issue ton discuss either...

A statement referring to the article.....not an indication that I don't read. So Kuro, doesn't that fact that the writer of the article only refers to two publishers say something about the industry? As a comics/gnovel creator coupled with a deep affinity for the medium, knowing how enriching a good comic/gnovel can be for readers, I thought the article worthy of notice and discussion. As for solutions? We know the answers. Slowly progress is being made. The article, to me, served as a barometer for the current condition of the industry in a particular aspect.

Good stuff.

Hi. Thought I'd introduce myself. Hopefully I'll get something worth looking at up for all to see here soon.

I'm an artist and writer. Not sure if I do either well yet....guess we'll find out.
