Part 7/8:
The Path Forward for Brazilian Comics
While critiques of the HQ Mix abound, there is also a call to action from within the comic book community. The proposal is for like-minded individuals to come together to form new recognition platforms that honor authentic artistic merit. By fostering discussions around what constitutes quality in comic arts, there is a desire to carve a niche for underappreciated talents who have been overshadowed.
The idea is that by countering the prevailing narrative with a focus on quality work, the cultural landscape can shift back towards celebrating artistry, akin to the industry’s past. This shift could potentially rekindle the passion of traditional comic fans who feel disenfranchised by the current trajectory of awards.
