Why Your Comic Characters Aren't Memorable
Comic Reviews for week ending 8/20/2023
If you prefer to listen to this newsletter, check out our video version below
Good morning, my friend,
I hope you’re ready for a veritable tsunami of comic reviews coming up this week because it’s coming at you. But before we get there, don’t forget to Subscribe to this newsletter so you can be the first to read all about it every Monday
This week’s Op-Ed looks into a common problem we see in comics from mainstream publishers and indie submissions - making characters memorable. Getting the character to stick in the reader’s mind isn’t rocket science, but there are a few basics we’ve put together with direct inspiration from one of the masters, Aaron Sorkin.
Give it a read!
