The Beat (comicsbeat.com) is celebrating its 20th anniversary in 2024, and a line-up of Beat contributors past and present are taking a look back at some of the most transformative years in comics history. They’ll look at the rise of graphic novels, the manga boom (and bust and boom), Marvel and DC's cinematic adventures, and the rest of this wild two-decade run. Beat editor-in-chief Heidi MacDonald along with Henry Barajas (Gil Thorp), Avery Kaplan (The Beat), Rebecca Oliver Kaplan (PRISM Comics), Taimur Dar (The Beat), Patrick Meaney (director, House of Demons), and Matt Maxwell (Highway 62, Hazeland) offer a no-holds-barred look at the past and future of the comics industry and announce an exciting new phase for The Beat!
