Today, I sit with Kenny Meyers to talk with him about Sweet Shop the newest hub for Digital Comics Marketplace. Along with Bindings Comic Marketing made easy and Find your Comic Store its one thing to say that you love Comic Books but to say make your entire ecosystem in helping creators makes you really wanna fight for this guy. Kenny in the last year or so has taken on more than 24 publishers honed in on his launch any day now from Image, IDW, Fantagraphics, and Dark Horse to name a few. The Comic Creator feels slighted by the subscription model that many are moving to as click and buy should be what we want in getting the creators paid. Kenny feels with Sweet Shop that this is the focus that not only the consumer but the creator as well can thrive from.

Happy New Year as a new season begins for the Faqs Project in 2026. As we get a chance to talk to Randy Stone about his latest project on Kickstarter. The Supernatural Horror based in the Nanavut Region of the Northwest Territories of Canada near the Arctic Ocean in FROST BITTEN. A Stranger arrives at a remote town with a population of less than 200 people wounded as he is being hunted. A Sheriff and his Pregnant Wife who have hopes to one day leave this town with no connected roadways to the mainland with child on the way. Until creatures arrive to finish their hunt plus some more. Randy and Co-Writer Christopher Sebala even dive into the Wendigo Mythology as the creature hunting the town is an ancient beast. This 48 page One Shot Graphic Novel is a must for all looking into the fear of an isolated town with no help and nowhere to go.

Where do I start as to first thank everyone listening to the Faqs project in 2025. Today's Pod I talk about not only the Comics that moved me for 2025, but also some of the news stories that moved the needle on the industry. Creator owned comics may have not seen as much trickle down dollar wise as their mainstream predecessors, but there were many great stories to choose from whether you frequent Image, Boom, Mad Cave, Oni Press, Dark Horse, or even Kickstarter Indies. There are many standouts that I know I may have missed a few and they are substantial. There was so much to choose from as we look forward to 2026 as you take those meaningful trips to your local comic store and not just treat the comics as a collectable but read and enjoy these stories.

Thank you from the Faqs Project
