Let's be real for a second, there's two types of people who are reading a blog on an intensely local indie comic publisher's website. Type number one is my mother. Hello, thank you for being here, I love you. Please stop texting me about our last blog post, I'm normal now I swear. The second type are comic book lovers. Not just lovers of the market or of a specific character, but likely people who have dedicated some portion of their lives to the medium as a whole. A lot of y

What the hell, there's only seven of you reading this anyways. In the pit of my soul, I believe that in order to make worthwhile art, you have to be emotionally honest with your audience and with yourself. I look at the great works of narrative art that have affected my life; Sorry to Bother You, Papergirls, The Sunset Tree, The Worst Person in The World, Crimes of The Future, Bojack Horseman, God Loves Man Kills, Flex Mentallo, Dykes, Calvin & Hobbes, Pink Floyd's The Wall,

Hello again everybody! It's been a second, hasn't it? I've been on a writer's retreat in Michigan so there was no blog post last week. Frankly, we've been averaging about 9 readers per post, so I didn't make it a priority. HOWEVER! Happy to report, a lack of readership here does not translate to a lack of readership elsewhere! There are many wonderful events we have scheduled soon, and you disserve to know about them! Let us start with the main event! Bearing with Life issue

If you're an avid comics reader, you'll no doubt have noticed the industry trending towards a newer model of consumption. Once upon a time, you might pick up Doom Patrol number whatever and read the entire thing but never pick up the next issue of Doom Patrol. It was the same way you might see one episode of a sitcom and never another. But, just as television must now conform to the streaming and binging models, so too must the humble comic book. These days you'll notice a lo

Well folks, I just heard the news. Looks like old C.B. Cebulski is returning to the land of his people. (That's the only one I'll make, I swear.) But with Cebulski gone, the role of editor-in-chief is left vacant. This is exciting news for a lot of comic book fans who have complicated emotions regarding Cebulski's time as EiC. These are opinion pieces, so I won't go mincing words about my own feelings. There's a lot that Cebulski has done that I've really loved. A soundbite f

Hey folks! How was the holiday? Get to use the grill? See your family? Keep all your fingers? That's good! Great even! It's the fifth of July right now and The United States of America is officially 250 years old! Unfortunately, I'm told that new research shows the pre-frontal cortex ACTUALLY stops developing at 300, so I guess we've still got some time there. But my feelings about the state of the union aside, it's always nice to have an excuse to party. The fourth of July

Come one, come all! To the greatest show in town. My name’s P.R., which I’m told is pretty ironic if you’ve met me. I’m here today to give you a little introduction to what we’ve got going on here at Grizzled Comics. I don’t necessarily mean an introduction to the bullpen, we’ve got an “about us” section somewhere around here for that. No, I’m here to get you a little look into our minds. Of course, I can’t speak for everybody and I wouldn’t dare to. However, as Editor-In-Chi
