Diversity Matters:
In recent years, the comic industry has made commendable strides in presenting diverse stories and characters, offering perspectives that are often underrepresented. However, these narratives may not always garner the immediate attention of mainstream audiences. This is where our support becomes crucial. By pre-ordering titles featuring black stories and characters, we send a powerful message to publishers that there is a demand for diverse storytelling.
Influence on Publishers:
Publishers closely monitor pre-order numbers to gauge the level of interest in a particular series. When they see a strong demand, it not only encourages them to continue existing series but also opens doors for the creation of new and innovative projects. Our pre-orders signal to publishers that we value and support diverse narratives, ensuring a broader spectrum of stories for all readers.
Community Impact:
By pre-ordering, we contribute to the vibrancy of our comic community. We actively participate in shaping the narrative landscape, fostering an environment where a multitude of voices and stories can thrive. Our actions extend beyond our personal enjoyment; they play a role in the communal effort to diversify and enrich the comic book world.
How to Pre-order:
To secure the future of the stories you love, check with your local comic book store about their pre-ordering and/or subscription process. Comic stores use orders placed before the final order cutoff as a guide for how many copies to order, so your pre-order BEFORE THE CUTOFF directly impacts the availability of these titles.
Let’s make our voices heard! Pre-order your favorite comics featuring black stories and characters before the final order cutoff. Together, we can ensure that these narratives continue to captivate and inspire.
Thank you for being a crucial part of our vibrant comic community.
