Nayia, will you develop the backstories of the characters in the next series? I would love to read your version of their story between their deaths and who they are in SATIM.

If you're asking for their stories as people, unfortunately not. If you are interested in their history from before the beginning of the series, before cycles started - apart from some minor exceptions and what will be presented in Before Henry - also not. But in general some characters (e.g. Jose Klondike, Bartender, Bernard etc.) will have a bit of their own backstory...

C3 Presents: The Future of Comics

Join comic industry veterans Joan Hilty (Nickelodeon, DC Comics) and Martha Donato (Long Beach Comic Con) for a conversation with journalist Heidi MacDonald (The Beat) about the future of comic book fandom in a rapidly-changing industry, presented by C3 (Comic Creator Conference).

Will mainstream comics give voice to new and diverse creators? Will indie publishers lead the way? How will the national and regional comic conventions and fan groups evolve to make room for new creators and content? Join Martha, Joan and Heidi as they address these topics, your questions and more.

Tonight I hit you with a serious issue about an article from October 2010 about one blogger's views on the future of comics. This is an interesting topic;

1) Because it's kind of a time capsule and useful to look back at how the industry has changed even two years later.

2) The topic was debated heavily back then and I still feel it's worth considering now.

At the time of publishing, Peter Rios (then producer of ComicGeekSpeak, now host of The Daily Rios) did a uStream session to debate the topic and later turned his recording into an episode of CGS. I was lucky enough to make onto the episode, as a passing fan of course, so I also view it as a relic of my own past.

I hope you enjoy.

Much thanks to Peter Rios, especially his ability to play up my loose strengths in the interview.

Please note: I use the word "rule" a lot to discribe each point of the article, these are not really rules, but editing them out made me sound more vocally awkward than normal.
