As far as growing the Comic Book community, I'm trying to support as many good comics as a I can on this format. Sireh and Perrenial started the #steem-cartoon initiative. They teach at a university in Malaysia and their art students have rallied behind #steem-cartoon. They've set out their goals and for growing comic / art community on steemit. https://steemit.com/steem-cartoon/@perennial/steem-cartoon-setting-our-milestones-and-mission-for-2018
I'll be becoming members of that discord when it launches and helping out with the other goals.
They have already established a strong community among artists and artists from all communities are beginning flock there. A vibrant and engaging art community is good for all of Steemit.
Ah yup, I've taken notice of their initiative for quite some time now. Let me know if you need anything - i'll be at steemit.chat
