The Ever Changing Landscape Of This Site

 

I have been running this site for 12 years now and for the most part I have been able to keep up 4-5 posts a week.

But 2020 has been something of an anomaly.

Whether it has been the pandemic and its fallout or the DC purging and its fallout, the usual stuff I post about has kind of dwindled.

There is no Supergirl comic on the market for me to cover. So with that goes monthly sales reviews. And with DC not using Diamond any more I'm not sure there is a DC sales site yet. (Help me if there is!)

I can continue to review Action Comics. Superman, Batman/Superman, and Legion. But the ancillary titles which pop up - Jimmy Olsen, Lois Lane, Super Sons, Young Justice, Leviathan minis, etc ... they all are gone and given DC's slashing of title volume probably not coming back soon.

Based on things I encounter in these current reviews, I pick and review back issues. I don't want to be an inventory review site. I like building off story. So the material to pull from is less.

And then there is the non-comic stuff.

I review the Supergirl show but that hasn't restarted filming. So who knows when we'll see reviews for them again. Sometimes I look at back issues based on show topics. So nothing there.

I review my convention schedule. I talk about my prep and who is coming and who I am hoping to get commissions from. I review the days at the con. I review the commissions I get. None of that is happening there.

I review Supergirl merchandise I get. But DC Direct has been disbanded. 

Anyways, the whole point of this post is to say that, in general, 2020 stinks and it will probably impact how often I post here. I'll hope to stay busy because this place is a great creative outlet for me and I love the Supergirl community.

So bear with me!
