Comics Are Dying: The Comic
For the better part of a century, people have said that comic books are dying. Crisis after crisis, the comic book industry has survived and lives to this day. So, to celebrate its harrowing journey into the 21st century, a satirical OGN about the history of comic books has taken shape. Introducing the ironically named Comics Are Dying: The Comic - a brief history and celebration of the comic book industry!
Curated and written by Louis Southard, a 24 year old comic book writer, the book is about the history of comic books using one-page short story comics with a new artist for every page. The main goal was to create a diverse team of over 100 people featuring a collective of established as well as up-and-coming artists from all walks of life for this. Comics Are Dying: The Comic exists to create a fun, educational, tongue-in-cheek, parodic, and optimistic book to help attract new readers, give artists jobs, and help comic book stores. With your support, we can make this book a reality and spread some great art into the world.

This week on the Capes and Tights Podcast, Justin Soderberg welcomes Jordan Hart and David Ebeltoft to the program to discuss their comic book series The Cabinet and much more!
Hart is the creator of the Eisner and Harvey Award-nominated comic series Ripple Effects. Centered on an invulnerable superhero with type 1 diabetes, the story was placed on the American Library Association’s Best Graphic Novels for Adults reading list and was a finalist for the Excellence in Graphic Literature Awards. More recently he has worked on the supernatural adventure series The Cabinet with co-creator David Ebeltoft and artist Chiara Raimondi.
Ebeltoft is an accomplished screenwriter working mostly within the thriller, horror, and drama genres. His work has been hailed as "suspenseful", "emotionally-driven", and "decidedly chilling”. David released Here Alone in 2016 and his upcoming film Blood for Dust hits theaters on April 19, 2024.
Their comic The Cabinet debuted in February from Image Comics. In the vibrant, tongue-in-cheek adventure series, atypical teen Avani and midwestern jock Trent teleport across a post-Cold War landscape to collect bizarre relics. Why? Well, because they need to summon the arcane powers of a resplendent 17th-century cabinet to fix a teeny-tiny mistake the last time Avani used it... unleashing an ancient evil from its prison and accidentally slaughtering her parents.
The third issue hits shelves on April 10 with a fourth coming May 15 and a trade paperback debuting in October.
