Top 10 Blog Posts

We’re celebrating 2020 with a countdown of our own with the top 10 blog posts so far. We looked at content from 2019 and 2018 to give you what we thought were the best of the best. Take a look at some of our favorites!

10. Look back (2019)

It’s kind of cheating, but the number 10 slot goes to our most recent blog post, looking back at the comics that inspired The Shadow Agency and how the characters originated. This post looked at the former comics, Origins and American Legends, and how the development has changed over the years. This was especially meaningful as the post was published about when that whole saga began, 8 years ago.

9. behind the Name change (2019)

This post was really helpful for those sticking around from the American Legends days, as it explained why we changed the name from American Legends to The Shadow Agency. Those of you who don’t remember that time, it gives you a picture as to what kind of work went into this and the direction that the name helped to take the comic in.

8. Which shadow agent are You? (2018)

This post is really fun as it gives you a nice Playbuzz quiz that helps you figure out which character of The Shadow Agency is most like you. This quiz, for those who haven’t taken it, uses really fun things like shoe brands and Faygo pop flavors to help you figure out your character twin.

7. New website (2019)

We did a major overhaul on the website last May, which we hope you’ve been enjoying. This blog just talked about some of the things that changed. Fingers crossed, a new update will come soon to freshen it up again.

6. 6 month update (2019)

Of course, number 6 has to go to the 6 month update. This post gave you an idea where we are after 6 months of blogging, which also goes to show you how far we’ve also come since then. By this post, we had just became an LLC and went to our first fair shortly beforehand.

5. Shadow agenTs’ playlist (2018)

If you love music, we have playlists for The Shadow Agency characters based on their personalities. This post from 2018 still has a lot of good songs that will help you understand the personalities of the characters in the book.

4. Out and about (2019)

This post goes into some of the things we are getting involved in to share the comic in the community! Hear about some of the events we’ve been at and how to connect with us.

3. Art process - Character Design (2018)

One of the things that makes this story is the art behind it. The art process behind creating some of these characters gets highlighted in this post, showing the process from character outline to pencil sketch to color final.

2. Slow and steady (2018)

Slow and Steady was the first blog post we posted on Endurance Comics, which makes it very special. This was the start of the posts where we laid out what kind of a blog we were doing and what to expect on our site. It’s shocking how much has changed since then and also exciting to look back now and imagine where we will be in the future.

1. Print preview (2019)

The number one post of course is our print preview, when we announced we had a physical product for the first time. This was a very proud moment, as it had all lead to this, but we were also aware of what steps needed to come next. This print preview should set the tone for the books in the future and we wanted to make sure we delivered. You can still get yours today at the shop on the site!
​

Just as an update, we are beginning to see comics in stores! If you are by the Comix Corner in Fraiser, MI, pick up our book on shelves now! Also if you are interested in selling our book, let us know and we can get in touch!

We hope your start to this year and decade is a pleasant one and we look forward to the updates that this year brings!
