Suomalainen sarjakuva on tänä vuonna panostanut kulttuurivientiin Saksaan ja Euroopan saksankielisille alueille. Reprodukt-kustantamon julkaisema Comic Atlas Finnland -antologia on esitellyt kiinnostavimpia nykynimiä saksaksi. Teos on osa Suomen sarjakuvaseuran lanseeramaa Finnish Comics Annual -kirjasarjaa. Lisäksi mm. Ville Tietäväisen Näkymättömät kädet -saksannos, Unsichtbare Hände (avant-verlag) on herättänyt runsaasti huomiota.
Sarjakuva-alan tapahtumissa on suomalaisin voimin oltu mukana mm. Berliinin Suomi-instituutilla, Wienin pääkirjastolla, Fumetto-festivaalilla Sveitsin Luzernissa, Erlangenin Comic-Salon-festivaalilla ja Hampurin sarjakuvafestivaalilla. Lokakuun lopussa on vielä luvassa sarjakuvatapahtuma Münchenin Literaturhausissa.
Teemavuosi on ollut menestyksekäs ja huipentuu nyt läsnäoloon Frankfurtin kirjamessuille (8.–12.10.2014). Kyseessä on kirjallisuusalan suurin tapahtuma maailmassa. Suomi on tämän vuoden teemamaa ja Frankfurtissa on suomalaisen kirjallisuuden lisäksi luvassa runsaasti sarjakuva-aiheista ohjelmaa. Suomen sarjakuvaseura on kirjamessuilla läsnä yhteistyössä FILI:n kanssa.
