I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong but I can't seem to start conversations and view groups :mjcry:

It's going to flop:yeshrug:

We don't take story writing seriously, and we don't respect our own audience. So we end up creating un-relatable characters for the black audience that actually reads books so nobody buys it. If that don't kill it the black feminists/simps/fags will kill it, by making shytty characters/stories that feed their agenda + gayness, this is most likely to happen. And finally if it gets too popular, it will be sold off too racist people for some fukking reason:mindblown: who will nuke it with ignorance and then it flops and blacks get blamed for not being able to carry shytty characters like cyborg....:russell:

I'm interested in plotting and character creation.
I know I'm new but I wouldn't mind helping and being a part of it.

1st off, great thread and concept.

I'm currently working on a self published comic myself. I created the characters, wrote the story, draw, ink, and color the pages. I got my own blog where I post up 1 or 2 pages every week from the issue so cats get a continued story line. Each issue is 20 pages and right now I have the whole 1st issue as well as half of issue 2 up for reading. Everything's copyrighted. I'm in the process of coloring issue 3 now. The digital route is cheaper than printing so that's why I chose that format.

I release them for free, but also give the option for cats to buy the download (to support the movement) once an issue is through being posted. Anybody that's read it, have said the shyt is dope and my fellow Tunnel forum brehs @BlackDroog and @clanarchy can vouch for that. They also helped me create the soundtrack for the comic which has a real dark goth sample based hip-hop vibe to it.

You can check out the cover here and just keep clicking the links at the bottom to go to the next page. You can read everything in order that way.

The biggest hurdle that I can see with black comics is promotion. A lot of casuals or potential fans, don't know that there's a lot of black comics out there. nikkas just know about the popular mainstream already established comics. You'll need a strong financially backed or grass roots promotional campaign to change that.

Even though I'm doing my own thing, I wouldn't mind being a part of a larger group or community structure that can help accomplish bigger things. We can also help promote and support each other during that journey.

:salute:
