First of all, I'd like to welcome back Kurt to the Alliance for this discussion. Kurt was a co-founding member here in the very beginning, taking the reigns of the Pick of the Week/Month, with some great spotlights on some fantastic webcomics. He was a perfect fit for that, as ... Continue Reading

Last week we all fessed up to our mistakes with the 5 things we'd do differently, and the lessons we've learned. So this time we're taking a moment to recognize that reflection isn't just for what went wrong, but for what went well! What are 5 things that ... Continue Reading
