Great newsletter and a great graphic novel deserved of the detailed write up from the group.. Thanks for the 'news' section too..

P.S. Looking forward to CyberSync and I hope we get a chance to read about this hard-boiled detective someday.

You're welcome! Thanks for all the kind words. I'm really excited about CyberSync, I can't wait to reveal more details. I took a look at that detective story in preparation for this newsletter and whoo boy does it have "early comics script from someone starting out" written all over it! Lol There is a good idea buried under that, though, so maybe I'll revisit it in the future. Thanks again for everything!

Yea... I realize after pressing on the detective script that I wouldn't even mention sharing any of my early scripts let alone the ones that are 'hot off the press''... i've got a lot of learning to do myself!!! Looking forward to seeing more from the newsletter and the club!! Keep it up.

Great newsletter, interesting discussion towards the end there! I need to read The Good Asian.

Also maybe I'm missing something but how does not reading any more books from Webtoon prevent the problem of books being removed from Hoopla before they can be read? Not sure what the connection is there 😅

In any case I hope you enjoy Heartstopper!

Thank you! I highly recommend The Good Asian. As for Webtoon collections on hoopla, excellent question! Sorry for not being clearer about that. It’s not so much about preventing their removal as maintaining access for Comics Book Club members.

We have a lot of people who read digital only, and losing the book on hoopla means they may have to scramble to find a copy of that month’s book to read, particularly older members who don’t want to read a vertical scroll on Webtoon itself.

This happened before, in fact, when we selected Lore Olympus, Volume 1 and there were only a handful of physical copies available.

Thankfully, the Chicago Public Library has plenty of copies of Heartstopper to go around! I hope our members enjoy it as much as I have. Thanks again for reading and commenting!
