Webcomic vs Graphic Novel : How should I release my project ??
Hey guys, I’m currently working on a comic book heavily inspired by my childhood favorites like Captain Underpants, Big Nate, and The Magic School Bus. (others too)
Here’s my dilemma, I feel like barely anyone reads comic books anymore, especially here in India. Comic books feel pretty niche right now...
Because of that, I’m trying to figure out the best way to release it. I have two main ideas:
1.Release it traditionally as a 5-part book series.
2.Build an audience first. Start an Instagram page, post daily comic strips covering the first 3 parts to build a brand, launch some merchandise, and then sell the actual books later.
I’m not expecting it to become super profitable or anything, but do you guys think it could be sustainable in the long run?
