My New Comic Out Today
I did a side-story tie in to my series I had going via crowdfund which made me over $30K last year. Trying to produce more and ramp up to monthly releases like the pros since I have a bit of a following now -- and also trying something a little different this time in distribution.
I've always been annoyed with Diamond and how they make it really difficult on indie creators to get their books out because it requires print runs of thousands. Since I sell book-books and do pretty well in the indie market, I set up on Amazon, which means I've got print on demand in a better, easier way than one of the small printers, and it gives free shipping to Prime members which is a big boost. It also puts out a digital edition via kindle which is pretty easy.
So here's my market test of this basically to see if it works. The book is a classic superhero adventure, Silver Age-style that's action packed, fast paced, and super fun like the early VH1 works.
Digital: https://www.amazon.com/Flying-Sparks-Jo ... 07MVMXP3V/
Print (hasn't linked yet on Amazon, will be one link later): https://www.amazon.com/dp/9527303435/
Hope you'll check it out. If you got a podcast or youtube DM me and I'll shoot you a review copy!

Re: My New Comic Out Today
Well done.
As soon as the print version is available via Amazon UK I will pick it up! (alas i am still not yet a fan of digital comics).
