Webcomics Reviews And Interviews

We sit down with Todd Rayner (https://darkspacestudio.com). We discuss the characters of Dark Space Studio, the business side of comics, and his Kickstarter, Luke Bloody Tooth. 

The big American comics are having problems and need some advice to get back on their feet. By looking at their distribution models, how they fail to use cross-platform promotion, and the businesses they ignore to their disadvantage, how they could be doing better is considered. Why spinner racks won't help is discussed as well as why some adopting some aspects of the manga business model would work while other aspects wouldn't. The success of indy comics is looked at and why not all of their tactics would work for the bigger companies.

It's easy to figure out who the villain is, but not everyone who opposes the heroes are villainous; some of them are just doing their job. We look at those whose very nature puts them in conflict with the heroes, be it cops, street gangs, or even activists.

The biggest problem for most self-publishers is where to actually publish their books. We look at the differences between print on demand, hybrid publishing, offset printing, vanity printing, and traditional printing. We also look briefly at the services you need to make your book look great and how to sell it.
