Comics Alliance wants you to Dig Comics
The always entertaining Comics Alliance posted a new interview by Caleb Goellner with Dig Comics host/writer Miguel Cima.
The modern comic book industry faces a lot of challenges as it marches into this brave new year, but there’s one common thread that ties them all together: more people need to be reading comics.
Frustrated with a seemingly shrinking audience despite a wealth of diverse and accessible content, Miguel Cima has set out to do something to correct what he considers an affront on sequential art enjoyment.
“An affront on sequential art enjoyment” – great line.
Also, more good news - Dig Comics has been awarded an Honorable Mention at the Los Angeles Reel Film Festival.
