Comic Book Poser in 2020

Nothing like angry small children and weather continuing to mess up my plans to post things when I want to...

My "New Years Resolution" for 2020 is to focus on content-creation on my website.  In the past few months of writing occasional reviews and/or participating on the Chop Shop podcast, I feel like I have at least become comfortable in finding my "voice" in regards to speaking/writing about comics.  In looking at other blogs, bigger press mediums on comics, and podcasts, I feel like several things are lacking for readers like me, the folks who feel like they are playing constant catch-up in the world of long-storied multiverse franchises. In order to carve out a space in the marketplace of ideas, my goal in 2020 is to attempt to do the following, with a higher degree of consistency than in 2019:
  1. ​Review at least two books a week on the blog.  I will review one Marvel or DC title and one Dark Horse/Aftershock/IDW title (whichever I am heaviest on that week probably).
  2. Start offering my commentary on trends I'm seeing in what I'm reading (from my weekly pull), or seeing on twitter about the medium/industry as a whole.
  3. Attempt to create more items which are useful to track complex stories (think that lovely Canva spread on the first 12 "Dawn-of-X" Books).
  4. Continue to contribute to the Chop Shop podcast (linked on the "The Podcast" page).
  5. Attempt to create my own podcast with a focus on titles from smaller and independent labels, because I feel like those are the more accessible titles for someone like me to talk about.

With all of these in mind, the plan is to transition from using this blog as a sole mode of catharsis and stress relief (which it still will be, regardless) but attempting to create a broader readership or to find ways to interact with other folks like myself in the twitter-verse, and see what other folks would like to see covered which may not exist in other outlets.

Will I succeed with these five goals and create the website of my dreams?  Probably not....but that doesn't mean I'm not going to spend a hell of a lot of time trying, because my journey back into the medium of comics in 2019 was something I loved a lot, so this will be a love of labor and other things.

First review and thought piece will come this week as we are facing an ice-pocalypse at home!
