BUSINESS
I read Sean Kleefeld’s description of also-ran comic book distributor Haven and I don’t think anything he points to justifies the optimistic tone he takes. The one thing that’s very true about comics is how easy it is to set up shop in comics. It means it’s easy for a couple of people to start a business and get noticed. It doesn’t really say much about the actual viability of the business plan.
JUSTIFY YOUR OWN HYPE
Warren Ellis invites webcomic creators to pitch their work to his vast hordes of readers.
JUSTIFY MY HYPE
Blake Chen’s The Twiight Lady looks interesting — about a year’s worth of archives right now. Self-described as "Twilight Lady is about an immortal soul trapped in the prison of the body." It’s got poseur-style artwork going on – a little stiff at times but overall I didn’t find it too problematic. At a point where it seems like Chen is catching a good groove with the work and worth checking out.
