The Beat’s Annual News Survey, 2008

At the end of each year, the comics/pop culture news site The Beat asks a handful of comics folks what they’ll be working on in the coming year, what they think the big story was from the past year, and what they predict the big story will be in the coming year.  I was among the folks asked to chime in on this year’s survey and the results are now posted here.

If there’s a common element to the responses about the big story, it’s the growing adoption of digital media and distribution methods by the comics industry, even including some of the bigger players this year.  (The other trend, apparently, is to ignore the “do not use the ‘big story of 2008’ question to pimp your own work.)  It’s worth checking out, and the second installment should be up soon.
