My favorite thing about comics is finding independent artists online or at conventions. I love finding the most unheard of pieces of media hidden in the back of comic book stores, or a small artist promoting their webcomic online, or reading through Webtoon Canvas. I love having conversations with people who are making their own comics for the first time and looking at their OCs and worldbuilding.
Because after years of supporting people, years of liking their work online, years of scrapped ideas, hiatuses, and highs and lows,
Owning a physical comic book by someone who you've watched struggle for years to achieve their goals is the most satisfying experience in the world
