Before the black and white comics boom of the 1980s, which brought classics such Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Usagi Yojimbo, there was one comic that proved that independent comics were viable. That comic is was Dave Sim’s Cerebus, which spanned a colossal 300 issues (6000 pages) between 1977 and 2004.. Now you can read all of these great comics for free on a newly formed Tumblr blog, which has been set up with permission by the creator Dave Sim. You can find out more inside.
A handy reading order for all of those who want to read Jonathan Hickman’s Avengers/New Avengers run but don’t know what to read.

There is now a new way you can experience comics – Tubecomics. Developed by Black Mask Studios, Tubecomics uses the power of YouTube binge watch comics on any device you can watch videos on. I gave it a try to see what it was all about and to see if it had any potential for new readers.
