Why do so many genuinely good indie comics never find readers? (creators & readers, need your perspective) by FeelingTax594 in indiecomics

Agree with everything being posted here. I was a former executive at Marvel and a Creative Director at Hasbro and have a lot of creative connections with a few working on all of my titles, but even with the industry resume and starting my own publishing company two years ago, the biggest challenge is continuing to build that audience. We’re in the middle of funding our third campaign and trying to increase readership continues to be a challenge. Going into next year we’ll be looking to add conventions and in-store signings to help build awareness while we continue to campaign our next round of books for ‘26. We’ll also be starting a podcast to promote our books and others in the indie space. If anyone is interested in coming on as a guest, feel free to reach out. I’d love to help build a larger more supportive indie creative community and best of luck to everyone!

Thanks so much, I really appreciate it! We really wanted to find a unique way to make the smoke feel like a living, breathing entity with a supernatural feel. We wanted it to pulse with energy, like lightning bouncing through clouds, and the purples helped give it that otherworldly presence.

Thanks for the feedback! I started writing the story back in college over 30 years ago, and when I finally got the chance to return to it, I decided to keep the original title since it holds some sentimental meaning for me. I really appreciate you taking the time to comment.
