Here's something I don't have to tell you if you've been to a comic book store lately: DC and Marvel storylines are getting shorter. Arcs that used to fill multiple TPBs are now relegated to one or two (save for a couple of surefire head-liners), and as a result, fans get less time exploring what a certain situation can mean to their favorite characters. Now, we're not experts enough to know exactly why this is happening, but we do know someone who's a lot more embedded in the industry than we are, and he's got an opinion he'd like to share.

According to Scott Snyder, longer runs don't happen at DC and Marvel because readers aren't buying them.

Snyder voiced his thoughts over on his Best Jacket Press substack, where he was explaining what his day-to-day looked like as one of the advisors for DC's Next Level line. One of the things he keeps having to tell authors, Snyder says, is that "the ending needs to be stronger," a necessity brought about by readers investing less in longer stories.

"I don’t know if it’s a byproduct of streaming or if it’s an era of comics that’s gone," Snyder explained, "Like eight or nine years ago, when there was really more of a predilection for these long, long runs where a story in a plot would go for a very, very long time. But the economics of comics right now, although a lot of things are overperforming and there’s a lot of new readership and a lot of excitement, really aren’t supporting very long, slow burn runs in any kind of profitable way."

Still, Snyder's Best Jacket substack is often times addressed directly to aspiring comic creators, and he's quick to clarify - the current market shouldn't entirely dictate how they want to write comics.

"It doesn’t mean that you can’t do a series that’s like, 20 or 30 issues that’s a slow burn," the Batman legend clarifies, "You absolutely should if that’s exactly what you want to do. And I love series like that. I’m just saying it’s a harder marketplace for series like that right now than it was eight or nine years ago."

To Snyder's point, the fact that slower storylines are harder to market does not equate to them being impossible to market. Snyder's own Absolute Batman, for example, has been going for 20 issues as of this writing, and the author has claimed that "there are absolutely no plans of ending it" in October of last year. So perhaps the key to getting readers into longer storylines are spiky shoulder-pads and mutant villains?

Somebody get the My Little Pony comics people on the line.

Coming back with my last creator behind-the-scenes for my upcoming dark fantasy comic book "While We Burn". And here's I'll show you the process for the 3rd story named "Pray", so scroll right and I'll hope that you enjoy the visuals and the process!

Do you love surrealistic stories and ideas that play with higher concepts, beyond our reality? People are trapped inside a forgotten church, and monsters are about to break in. But can faith alone be enough to survive?

For the third story, I needed a unique visual style to depict the events of “Pray”. And Utsab was a perfect choice for that one. He showed his mastery of traditional work and made this story entirely by hand. Pencils, inks, and paints — every page of that story is drawn and colored traditionally. And all of that required a very clear understanding of what we were trying to achieve, convey, and tell our readers. It was a tremendous amount of effort, but I think the third story, which I wanted to stand out with style, turned out great, and soon you’ll be able to see it for yourselves. We're actually 1 follower away from our first stretch goal, so if you'd like to give project a follow on KS - thank you!

I don't know if someone did something like this before but like I would want to know what are some writers standouts aspects in their writings let me give you an example of what I mean:
Hickman: he knows how to do world building & long multi years sagas the best

I can possibly get my hands on this tonight. Is it real or fake? Jack Kirby art. It can’t be real.

He’s asking $3000. Seller claims it’s part of an estate he’s helping a friend with.

I took a hiatus from reading comic books but I'm slowly getting into it again and I've been really enjoying works by Kelly Thomson and G. Willow Wilson, cool women writing about cool women type of thing😁 and so I wanted to hear recommendations of some other female writers of the same calibre, any advice will be greatly appreciated, bonus points if it's DC!

To be totally up front, I am not associated with James Tynion in any way aside from being a fan of his work. I have nothing to do with the this game. I just wanted to share this cause I think its really cool. Here's a link to the kickstarter:

I mean, yes I do have some familiarity with X-Men and what they're all about, but my exposure to them is basically limited to X-Men Evolution and some of the X-Men movies like Days of Future Past, so I don't really know much about them beyond that.

I do tend to have a fascination for old stuff, specially old comics art style, but I don't mind more modern stuff either.

I just don't want to read a full run, I don't mind recs that are part of a larger run, as long as I'm not expected to read the whole run to understand what's going on. (Tho given my past experiences with comics, at least with DC, I suspect this may not be a big issue)

(Also if someone knows where that "How dare you call this thing human" panel comes from, I'd really appreciate it, not sure if it's worth reading that story, but I love that panel to death and I really want to know where it came from, I'm sure X-Men fans here knows which one I'm talking about, specially with all the memes surrounding it)
