These efforts have resulted in coverage across an array of media outlets including AV Club, Boing Boing, The Chicago Tribune, Comic Book Resources, The Comics Beat, The Comics Journal, The Comics Reporter, the LA Times, Newsarama, Publishers Weekly, and many more. Social Media Campaign: Our web and social presences are distinct and continuing to grow. We have a recently re-branded 2dcloud.
