We Love to Talk Comics!
Even though 2020 has been a whirlpool; landslide; and train wreck all at once, we’re still trying our best to make online learning as interactive as possible.
Once a month, we try to get a guest speaker in to talk comics, publishing, and whatever other professional insight they have about the comic world.
The last few months, students in our exclusive Mighty Network groups had access to Pro-Calls via Zoom with some awesome guest speakers. This year, we were fortunate enough to get these guest speakers!
