Comics criticism is in a dire spot. Spaces for writing about comics are disappearing at a worrisome pace, and more than ever, comics critics need support - and a place to write. The Comics Courier and The Comics Staple are two print publications featuring writing about comics. The Comics Courier is a twice-a-year newspaper featuring in-depth writing about any and all types of comics from the history of comics. The Comics Staple is a monthly zine featuring punchy, short writing about what's new in comics.
