Welcome to the Comics Syllabus. Today, an Inbox LongBox episode, where we talk about comics on Substack. Specifically: 3 Worlds/3 Moons. We ask the question: Three worlds and three moons… Is that too many moons? How many is too many?
One thing that we do here is we look at Substack, where there's a lot of exciting comics coming out. And one of those projects is 3W/3M, which is a project of Jonathan Hickman, Mike Huddleston, Mike Del Mundo, and many other creators, artists, designers, world builders, letterers, colorists and… and an editor! There's a, there's a big broad team of folks working on 3W/3M, primarily headed by the Three-headed Snake Monster— appropriately Three-headed— Threes is the magic number— of Jonathan Hickman, Mike Huddleston, and Mike Del Mundo.
And so today we'll get into a couple of the comics that they've released so far as a way into the world that we're watching being built before our eyes. We'll ask questions about the entire Substack comics reading experience, and we’ll kind of explore, what are these worlds? Where have they signaled that they're headed? I think it's super fascinating.
We’ll dig into “Fable” and “Ruins” and much more… all can be found in the handy 3W/3M index page!!!
