Isotope Comics Information

And because the Isotope is *your* community as well as ours, we deputize each and every one of you to take part in the enforcement of this policy. Which means that your Harassment Policy warning is just as official as mine is. In the event of an uncomfortable or awkward situation we still ask that all parties treat everyone at the Isotope with the kindness and respect they are due as fellow human beings. Even if they are jerks. Our policy applies to all guests, including featured creators and also ourselves and staff. And even the music we play. Simply, if it's gotta go, then it's gotta go. This Harassment Policy is in effect at the Isotope always and forever. We will be adding a link to this post on every special event we announce so that this policy is clear to one and all. Let's work together, like Zan and Jayna, to co-activate our Wonder Twin powers for a better world of comics! The Isotope has grown over the years as people and an entity, and we will continue to evolve for the betterment of ourselves, our community and the greater comics industry. So let's join forces... my fellow comic fans, fellow retailers and industry leaders... for a higher community standard and a greater, more welcoming comics industry for all. Thank you to all of you for helping us build and better our amazing Isotope community. UPDATE: I've had several folks ask me about this policy and a couple express dismay to hear we "need something like that. We've literally only had to toss out two people in the last eight years for their rude behavior, so you folks can decide if this policy is something we needed or not. But it's clear to me, given the current state of such things in our changing industry, that we all need to take time out to think about what each of us can do to make the entire world of comics a more welcoming place for everyone. And if the Isotope can make one tiny ripple to help contribute to the tsunami that shifts how we as an industry all treat each other? Then this is a ripple worth making. It is my hope that eventually the whole comics industry agrees such things would be helpful and decides they need to create and/or refine their own official Harassment Policies too. "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.
