Heroes,inc.

I’ve never made it a secret, that Heroes,inc. is more than just a hobby to keep me busy.  I love comics and I love to draw and write, so creating my own comic was only natural.  So far I think that Heroes, inc. has constantly gone in the right direction.  Just by looking at the reader statistics, I know that I’m not the only one who thinks that.

However… the whole plan of gaining interest with your webcomic then branching out to selling the actual magazine… well, easier said than done. It’s been a great year, which in webcomic time isn’t very long, I know, but… I think there are many reason for the lack of it’s success. A big one is that it’s impossible for me to hit the Cons with Heroes, inc.  Comic Conventions are one of indie creators’ biggest income (or so I’ve heard) Not just selling the book, but all the other merchandise. Gettinfg a table at Artist Alley.  Not even being on the same continent is kind of a monnkey wrench So…

…It’s time to shop Heroes, inc. around the various publishers.   As we speak I’m trying to write a compact, but info filled synopsis of the whole series. Holy cow! What a job! Doing the pitch is easy. It’s short and to the point. Basically the same as in the ABOUT page.  But the series concept synopsis… whoo boy! Trying to get all the stuff that sets Heroes,inc. apart from other comics, but at the same time keep it to the point, interesting and SHORT is quite an undertaking!

I’ve made a list of publishers that I personally like and wouldn’t mind seeing Heroes, inc published at. If anyone out there has any suggestions, bring them on.  I’m open to all. The first that comes to mind is, of course, IMAGE.  I’m also looking at APE ENTERTAINMENT and ARCHAIA STUDIOS.  I would have liked to try out RED FIVE COMICS, but they’e stated that their not looking for super heroes right now. I also would have tried DYNAMITE, but they’re using the same public domain characters so I don’t think that would work out.

Now many of you are probably going “Well that’s just great! He’s cashing in. Right in the middle of the story too…!”

DON’T WORRY! HEROES,INC. ISN’T GOING ANYWHERE!!  We’ll update at a minimum of once a week.  I know that most of you would rather have the twice a week (even better three times a week) schedule in full color, but unfortunately… not easy to pull off.  Don’t forget the RSS feed, if checking back once a week is too much of a hassle.

I’ll keep you posted on the progress and more than likely I’ll have the trade paperback up for sale (hopefully in January *gulp*) before I get any interest from publishers, so look for that.
