Thinking of Getting Into Comics As A Career? Here Are The Degrees To Get You There!

Pow!Pursuing a career in the comic book industry requires demonstrable skills in illustration, writing and editing. For professionals there is a limited number of positions available, particularly now, where the number of individual titles being printed has been reduced. Individuals wishing to enter the comic book industry should have a high level of tenacity and an open mind regarding criticism. It is also important to note that comic books as an industry is growing laterally, that is to say growth is coming from small press publishers expanding the types of titles available, rather than the larger companies increasing in size. What this means is that opportunities are available for individuals wishing to pursue a career in comic books outside of the realm of superheroes, which has been the traditional center of the industry in the United States.

New Image Comics mini-series COMEBACK explores mortality

Comeback #1 CoverPress release

In the world of COMEBACK by Ed Brisson and Michael Walsh, the new mini-series coming from Image Comics/Shadowline in November, death isn’t necessarily inescapable.

The secret organization Reconnect sends agents back in time to rescue people moments before their untimely deaths, reversing tragedy and reuniting lost loved ones with their families. Mark is one of these agents, and despite the seeming good of what he’s doing, he discovers there is a dark side to saving the dead.

"Mark does this job because it’s fairly easy and pays well. Although it’s illegal, he justifies it to himself because he’s helping people," said writer Brisson. "He’s pushed to do some things that go counter to his own beliefs and is stuck with the moral dilemma of breaking his own code of ethics or dying."
