Everyone ALWAYS gets it's wrong in the Comics vs Manga discussion

So. I'm going to dive into this (get your helmet on) and be prepared because there are a lot of factors that are NEVER discussed in these convos.

I might piss people off on this...

I don't care :P First off, Yanzi is 100% correct in that we're only seeing the winners in these manga discussions. We’re only seeing the best of the best.

But WHY are they successful here? This is where people struggle in identifying the problem and the solution.

Yanzi by the way doesn’t deal with this part of it so her portion of this conversation is now done.

Currently people will look at manga and say the following:

My Hot Take

- This isn't a good look on his store but he is doing this out of passion & desperation for the love of his biz
- ANYONE who makes fun of his appearance is a piece of shit
- He painted his argument too broadly. I wish he had called out names/books/creators

(cont...) - Pros should be LISTENING to what he is saying and assess where they fall into his claims.

- The reason it's OKAY for him to state this, is that his business is DEPENDENT on the sales of these books, therefore he should be allowed to criticize them

I Got Canceled.

The last 24 hours have been insane.

These last 24 hours have resulted in me getting harrassed and mobbed, LOSING MY PUBLISHING DEAL, and more.

So. I've come out of retirement of indie comics to do the following TWO THINGS

πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡ #1 - I have officially launched SUPER PLUMBER SISTERS #1 on Kickstarter! It's a super fun comic. I always had it planned to launch today...I just didn't think it would be under these circumstances...

Dear indie comics creators (this might hurt) but there’s a possibility that no amount of marketing will get sales for your book. 🫒

Here are a couple reasons why:

πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡πŸ‘‡ #1 - the art just isn’t there. With how big the internet is, the competition is greater than ever. You are literally competing with some of the best.

If your art isn’t on par with what people want, unfortunately you won’t get sales and the only way to fix is to improve or hire
