Sorry I haven't been super active on here, things have been busy, but we have an update episode. TLDR: Hana is stepping down as co-host as her plate got too full and I'm also taking a break in mid-May from making the show until who knows. I will be back though:

New Era of the podcast! Hana is joining me as a co-host and, at least, every two weeks we'll be covering comic news, things we've been thinking about, and one comic story! We'll still have guests and interviews, but those will show up in off weeks! Here's the first episode of the year: https://anchor.fm/whycomics/episodes/Epsiode-68-Friendly-Neighborhood-Spider-Man-e1ccvfg

We also launched a Patreon for this and Free Reeling it (and more shows to come). It has three tiers right now: the $1 gives you just general thanks and the ad-free main episodes (yes I'm hoping to put ads in the show). The $3 dollar tier gives you the once a month bonus episode where Hana and I talk about comic book media and also the once a month post from either Hana or I talking about comics in essay form. The $5 tier gives you all the previous things, but you get producer credit in the show. We want to add more as we grow, but this is all still new to me. You don't have to support us if you're not financially able to, but this is a way where I can maybe make this a full-time thing down the road: https://www.patreon.com/whycomicshttps://www.patreon.com/whycomics

Patreon is empowering a new generation of creators. Support and engage with artists and creators as they live out their passions!
