Reinforcing our belief that there’s more to comics than Dog Man and superheroes, memoir, LGBTQ, and manga were the most engaged categories in Comics Plus, driven by popular titles like Dark Horse’s Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra, and IDW’s They Called Us Enemy. Titles in those categories were checked out more than three times the average during the first quarter of 2021.
February is Black History Month and Comics Plus offers a variety of titles spotlighting key figures and moments in Black History for educational use, as well as entertaining stories from Black creators in our curated Black History, Black Voices list. From award-winning nonfiction like Rep. John Lewis’ March trilogy, to award-winning fiction like Nnedi Okorafor’s Laguardia and J.N. Monk’s Topside—we have recommendations for every age level that are great for reading any time of the year.
LibraryPass’ John Shableski sat down [remotely] with IDW’s Blake Kobashigawa to discuss the publisher’s history with comics, relationship with libraries, important backlist titles, and notable new releases.
We curate high-interest, immersive digital content that helps schools and libraries expand and diversify their collections—without breaking their materials budgets.
