How Are Comics Made? And WHO Makes Them? - Issue At Hand, Episode 26

[@kevinaweber6517]

She really knows her comics and that made me enjoy this video so much

[@brockmckelvey7327]

Before this episode I never knew why I really liked certain stories an arcs more than others in my favorite Superheroes. Now I have to go back and look through my favorite arcs to see who specifically worked on them so I can follow them more. :)

[@monserratbarahona6627]

I miss this show so much. Please come back Susana, the world needs you

[@weakegg5648]

I don't read comics, but I enjoyed this video.

[@AnthonyMillerJr]

PREACH! More episodes please!

[@thenebulasystem8251]

I don’t read comics, but I’m a REALLY big fan of the MCU so I find this video (and this series) very valuable to my education on a medium I don’t understand well, but still impacts my culture. Thank you for all the great videos!

[@teddymackerel]

when i come back to american comics after reading a lot of manga i end up thinking a lot about layout and color choice and how it can really contribute a lot to the effectiveness of a story. a good example and probably one of my favorite series ever is matt fraction and david aja's hawkeye.

[@spectacularlysentimental]

Please continue this show!

[@johnspreitzer3606]

I miss this show :(

[@Belmoon]

GIVE SUSANA A SEASON 3 YOU COWARDS (full respect, though)

[@lawrencescales9864]

I'm making my very first comic to pitch for publishing and I love watching your show. It's cool to see the ins and outs of the industry. Keep up the great work :)

[@Jsuga85]

Dirty trick using C&H in the thumbnail and then not talking about it directly. Still, insightful and enjoyable as per usual. Also, I just noticed how long Susana's ponytail is and like, wow.

[@curdis]

Julian Suga He retired and slipped away from the public eye to chill.

[@RatherGray]

C&H was in there for like 0.5 seconds at 0:51 but yeah she never verbally mentions them

[@fakhrirhizadi5585]

Where have you been? Been watching your old videos, it's great. Please make more.

[@beesinatrenchcoat-mu8xv]

aaahhh, i love these endings where you are just chatting with someone about fun facts

[@snakesnoteyes]

Just found this series and binged the entire thing. Wish it was ongoing :(

[@curiouspider]

I kinda knew a lot of this already, but this video really sums it up very nicely!

[@MoonSafariFilms]

Yes! the coloring on Long Halloween is incredible. I've flipped through that way more often just looking at the art than actually reading it.

[@grand0019]

I loved these! Please make more!

[@theplotcrab]

This was legitimately cool. Thanks, Susana!

[@lunamyth8507]

hey bring this back, i just watched all of it and it slaps

[@AngelBolt]

I got a degree in making comics. You can do that. I'm honestly not sure if my comic-making got better, but it is a thing you can do. Now if I can figure out comic editing...

[@sharkofjoy]

"It was cute but people were working" awwwwwww

[@General_Nothing]

Polygon bring this show back you cowards!

[@xdanieljamesx]

More episodes please!

[@DigitaIJustice]

This show got me into comics. I still miss it

[@tralchemist]

I just started paying attention to this and man oh man do I love Riley Rossmo's art and Jonathan Hickman's...everything. Well, everything he did for Image, at least. (When is Frontier going to come out, man?!)

[@captainamerica258]

Comics are entertaining because you don't feel stressed when you read them unlike video games that make you stressed

[@antaresclast7773]

Please bring Susana and Issue at Hand back to Polygon! Please?!

[@shaerinkaye5903]

Hi Susana. I have just started watching your series and love it. I am new to reading comics so have found your show very informative and entertaining. I would love to see an episode, like you did for Wonder Woman, but for Marvel's Captain Marvel. I have read up on her backstory but find it very convoluted and can't find a good jumping in spot to start with her comics - especially with the weird numbering system for the TPB volumes. Keep up the amazing work - Thank you!

[@syntheticgerbil]

As nice as it would be, the big bulk of American comic fans just want their franchises. The franchises are heavily marketed more than ever, movie tie ins, crossovers, toys, and whatever else. There's no reason for fans of superheroes to pay attention to any artist or writer until they make something they don't like. It's just not ever going to be the European or Japanese world where comics are flocked to because of the writer and artist. I suppose though there's a whole world of creator/indie comics of I am not able to keep up with anymore that is thriving more than ever outside of the tight wearing dudes. I hope people support them.

Does anyone know how the speech bubbles were added before people began using digital means?

[@calvinstaropoli4448]

started playing this video at exactly 9:59. Idk how to feel

[@austinrogers4486]

Why don’t you have your own channel already

[@KayoMichiels]

Well it's 10:40 pm here... so you are sorta right...

[@iceking2135]

It actually is 10 :46 here for me

[@thecaseymichael]

I remember my mind being blown when I finally realized that comics are made by people.

[@callospaziale]

omg it's actually ten here

[@fattbazzillionaire8027]

I was watching this at 10 oclock

[@JayCork]

[@RebeccaWheelerInnit]

[@oliverd-s6495]

20:36 when I watch

[@NestanSvensk]

I watched this at 21:54 local time so the joke is on you! Anyway good ep.

[@RossLlewallyn]

Well I saw it at 22:06, and it freaked me out. O.o

[@BenWatton92]

It's 9:55 so that crazy

[@david.lat0721]

Me when I click on this at exactly 10:00 😳😳😳😳

[@metalvocals]

So much for every other week. :-( Next video on late shipping comics?

[@polygon]

Issue at Hand is on break right now, but we'll be sure to let everyone know when we're back!

[@metalvocals]

Good to know Issue At Hand is not gone for good. This show is the only reason I subscribe to Polygon’s channel.

[@janders79]

Great. Just found this this morning and would love to see more once I've worked through the back issues at hand. Heh.

[@loredom]

No longer on break, it broke :( lol

[@flanbulance4074]

Its actually 8 oclock

[@WRLDFOREVER]

Dou

[@NOLNV1]

Seeing the inks and flats makes me wish that the final pass was opt-in when buying comics, I'm sorry colorists... I guess some of you are good...

[@Skurvy2k]

I resent the notion that if someone values character over creator they aren't a mature comic reader. it's not only elitist but also a logical fallacy.

[@Murtage33e]

I think you might be misunderstanding what she said. She just stated that when a particular character falls into the hands of an inept creator, a mature comic book fan might seek out other comics by those who've worked on previous editions they've enjoyed, and then return to that character later. She did not say that it is immature to care about the creation more than the creator.
