The Future of Comics

Digital vs Print Digital comics and graphic novels have benefits for creators and fans alike. They are more accessible. Fans can easily find copies of their favorite indie creators easier online than searching book stores.  Digital publishing is cheaper. Publishing digital copies are much cheaper for creators than print, and allow creators to charge reasonable prices.   And while digital comic sales are growing, print sales still outnumber them nearly 5 to 1. Fans still love the physical reading experience and the ability to collect their favorite comic issues. The Best of Both Worlds What if there was a way to combine the accessibility of digital with the collectability of print?  What if there was a way for creators to sell more, earn more, and fans could collect or resell digital issues? Those were the questions we asked ourselves a few years ago. And the answer? There IS a way. Over the past few years, this concept has developed into a reality. Using new technology, the team at CryptoComics built a system that turns DIGITAL COMICS INTO COLLECTIBLE ISSUES. The CryptoComics Community First and foremost, CryptoComics is a social community for comic book/graphic novel lovers to engage each other and with their favorite Creators.  Profiles, forums, messaging, tagging, events, live streams, inviting friends… these are only the beginning of the social capabilities found in our community. The Marketplace The Marketplace is an important part of the community where Creators can sell their comics, and fans can resell used digital comics to other fans. The original creators earn every time their comics are resold. What’s different about CC than other digital bookstores? This is more than a store – it is a full social community. Anyone can easily self-publish. We use revolutionary technology to track each issue, turning digital books into digital assets. Creators keep 80% of their sales, and can earn from resales! Collectors can resell digital comic books and keep 90% of the sale, while the original creator gets royalties EVERY TIME an issue is resold. You can earn ComicBuck Rewards by inviting friends, families, and fans to join and buy / sell in the Marketplace, AND from the people THEY invite. Publishing comic books on the blockchain is a completely new idea NO ONE has ever tried. It gives our Creators MORE VALUE for the digital comic books, and encourages more buying and selling of digital comic books by EVERYONE! The Marketplace is a comic book community built to empower creators and collectors. Our community is in “Private Beta Launch”, which means you can only join if you request an invite.  During this phase, all our comic books are free to borrow. Yes, free. Ask David Lillie and the Vivid team if they have any invites and you can check out the community for yourself! It’s free to join. If you have any questions, don’t miss our panels at CouchCon! We’ll be joined by several of our Creators to talk about our community, and the future of comic book marketing.

Couchcon 2020 Guest of Honor

Announcing #Couchcon 2020's Guest of Honor, the magnificent @Corvuspointer.  Comic creator, artist, and former social worker bringing his experience to bear on the challenges of our time.  Go say hello, and while you look forward to his panel, enjoy some of his artistry.

Wallscroll Drive

Samples on the way- we're ready to officially announce Vivid's Wallscroll drive. 

Sales will open from the Vivid store  https://vivid-publishing.mybigcommerce.com/  during Couchcon 2020  https://couchcon.org/

Not too early to touch base with your favorite Vivid author- that commission they did for you way back might just be ready for the elite wallscroll treatment.

And profits from the Wallscroll Drive will go to the respective artists.  We'll be helping UberQuest deliver on their Volume 2 campaign, and other artists can share their ideas and hopes for what this boost might unlock.

For us?  I'm hoping we can level up Tectomic production, to give us the experience we need to start eyeing Dreamkeepers and other animated projects. 
The future looks bright- make your wall match.

Couchcon coming June 25-28.
