November Roundup

by | Nov 28, 2022 | monthly roundup | 0 comments

We’re coming close to the end of the year and we’re ending it on a very high note. This month sees the publication of Tommi Parrish’s second graphic novel, Men I Trust. Queenie Chan has announced the updated and expanded reprint of The Dreaming, and Superman Son of Kal El’s second volume is out, which is written by Tom Taylor. All in all, a really great month for Australian comics!

There are also some other great news below, including updates on eComics on Borrow Box and Comics Plus. The podcast version of our roundup is already out on our ALIA Graphic Podcast blog, or wherever you listen to podcasts.

On our part, we’re very excited about the upcoming webinar. Which is happening this Wednesday at 12:00 AEDT. Registration for the webinar is free and you can find all the details, including the registration link here. It’s going to be a great discussion. Join us live to ask questions, or register and access the recording at a later time.

Let us know how we’re doing. Let us know what you thought about the webinar. We’d love to hear from you.

  • Publishers Weekly has published a pretty interesting article looking at the new graphic medicine titles.

  • The use of eComics at libraries keeps steadily growing. Borrow Box has rolled reading eComics on their app. Their model is similar to Libby. A licence needs to be acquired for each title. Licence costs and limits vary widely. It’s still early days but great to see Borrow Box coming on board with comics.

  • Comics Plus has rolled out an update to their app and it’s also working on fully integrating Comics Plus to the CloudLibrary app with an expected full integration some time next year. Best of all, they have added Image Comics and Fantagraphics titles to their catalogue as they announced on their website.
