This has been a fallow year for KinderComics. I've been fairly out of touch with new comics for young readers, not because the field isn't thriving (on the contrary, children's and young adult graphic novels are still mushrooming like crazy) but because of other factors I don't think I'll write about here. Suffice to say that both hard things (losses in my family) and good things (new opportunities for work) have diverted my attention. I have been reflecting and readjusting. I continue to fight the urge to close up shop and declare KinderComics a done deal. I'd hate to do that. Yet I don't know when or how I can get back to writing here, with so many other things piled on my plate. I've been working on a list of favorite comics from the past year, a sort of Top Twelve or Baker's Dozen, but I don't know if anyone beyond my family and friends will see it (or perhaps one of the online magazines I write for will want it?). In any case, it doesn't include any children's or YA work. I can see that my interests have been shifting. With all this in mind, I am declaring KinderComics on indefinite hiatus, once again. Sigh. PS. I'm working on two books, one near-term, the other a bit farther off. And I'm designing a seminar about Marvel for the coming semester. So, work continues.
