Welcome to ACES WEEKLY Volume 19, Week Two!

For decades, the comics industry - by that I mean the major players in the business of comics - has failed to push what it does to the general public in the way that, for instance, the movie industry always has.  Even in its best financial years, no part of its budget was employed to do what any creator of any entertainment should always do - sell it to as many people as possible in the market of the general public to expand the audience for it.  So, on the way back from the Thought Bubble Festival today, I was very happy to see a poster on the London Underground advertising a Comicon - the first one, to my knowledge, to promote to Joe Public anything to do with the medium we all admire so much. Though it advertised an event that celebrates comics rather the comics themselves, it still served a fine purpose in attracting attention to that thing we know and love, and want everyone else to enjoy too. It's a healthy step to guiding the unknowing to the joys of great comics, and I hope it's one repeated in many different ways. After all, there's no point in keeping all this fun to ourselves,is there?
