I think that with Kaya, Wes Craig is trying to change the comic game a little bit. First of all, the little summaries on each issue of Kaya are reminiscent of the early comic taglines (BEWARE THIS MONSTER) but actually pack in a lot more plot information. It's easy to understand what's supposed to be going on issue to issue. As you've said, he's also worked hard on making stories feel a little more self-contained; making stories this way helps readers a lot by giving them something to eat every single issue, and making arcs feel complete. I really hope Kaya teaches other comics lessons (focus on punchy adventure stories / simple character drama; give each issue a classy tagline at the bottom to summarize the story; work on community building etc.)

Your fan art references span 100 years! Excellent! And you turned me on to Wes’ series too. Thanks!

Thank you! And I’m glad 🤠

I've been wanting a channel just like this for so long. I need recommendations that isnt just super hero stuff. This seems more in line with graphic novel style artwork

Love the intro. That little bop is a vibe. Subscribed.

thanks for the review, greetings from Chile!!!

Wasn't even aware of this series, definitely gonna check it out now.

"Nerding out" done right. Respectfully.

You're really selling me on this series, might check out.

Thank you!

Kaya is awesome, I'm glad you are highlighting it Kurt

You sold me. Thanks for comic love!

Never heard of it, but the art looks very interesting. Lately I've been trying to step out of the Marvel and DC superhero sphere, and this looks like a great way to do it.

Great comic. Great review. I watch/listen at 2x speed and can completely under everything… so… great voice too 👍

welp there goes my wallet

O desenho e a narrativa gráfica me pegou. É um desenho rebuscado em coisas acontecendo mas com uma simplicidade saborosa na forma que o design é estilizado, você ve jogos de "camera", 'vamos colocar assim' em que a perspectiva de página em pagina flui como uma animação isso é o tipo de narrativa de quadrinhos que eu gosto fluidez movimento e perspectiva rebuscada com um design carismático eu gosto do estilo desse cara me lembra um pouco o Warren Johnson e Ultramega, mas tem muita substância própria.

Love kaya

Sold! And subbed! Good sht man. I appreciate it. I’m always looking for something new and unique to get into and I don’t typically read super hero comics. This looks great.

Thanks for the recommendation. Was looking for something less superhero centric to read.

Any experimental comic recommendation?

Sounds like something I need to check out

I’m brand new to your channel as of this video. I live in Michigan, so I’m interested in seeing your Michigan shops video. (I manage a collectibles shop in Michigan that sells a lot of back issue comic books.) I had never heard of Kaya, but thanks to you, I’ll be checking it out. Blessings.

That’s great! I’m hoping to get that video close to finished this weekend; I’m really excited to share it.

Moon Man is awesome though

Quality water color analysis. 👌🍵 (I had to edit this comment twice to fix my spelling)

I’d like you to review my comic when I’m done.

The comic looks pretty good, but the part about buying single issues to show companies that the book is popular. Awesome comment. We don't need good series being canned and generic one's continuing.

The ideal viewer experience

Your copy od Reinventing Comics is on a different shelf than your Understanding Comics and Making Comics. Fix it. Then move Zot over so you have a McCloud section. Then get The Sculptor.
