I wanted to share this review of my comic book by Noah Bell AKA @NoahTheGeek on Twitter.
I’m not sure how I end up finding these random videos.
I guess this is a sign that I am spending too much time surfing the internet instead of working on my comic book like a good little WebComic creator, but I found this video.
It could be considered political but doesn’t have any real call to action or push an agenda. It is more informative than political.
Warning! This is not directly related to making webComics, so feel free to skip reading this article and come back for tomorrows article on something cool related to something cool related to webcomic creating.

Looking for a quick way to promote your comic, blog, or other project?
An easy way to create a little buzz is to steal I mean borrow someone else’s brand.
If you look at huge franchises such as Star Wars, Disney, Marvel, DC, etc, etc you have people who are just crazy for these characters. You have people that want to see everything and anything related to them even if it isn’t from the companies that own those properties.

is a funny video that I hope you enjoy.
Found this while doing research on Alan Moore. Even though I have only read “Watchman”, I am already putting him up on a pedestal.
It has to do with the way he views the comics, society, the role of the storyteller, and the world.
His jewelry choices, however, does leave his fashion sense in question; but who am I to judge I’m still in my pajamas at 9:30 at night.
A couple heads up:
- This is a full length documentary so it is long.
- He talks about a lot of things and not just writing or comics.
- He talks about adult things so don’t watch in front of kids or at work.
- There are a few images of a sexual nature (again, no kids or work).
I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
WARNING!
ADULT CONTENT & NUDITY in this video.
Let me know what you think in the comment section below.
The Madman of Magic Comic book is scheduled to launch January 1, 2013. That is 21 days away. With all the excitement of finding a new printer, preparing kickstarter rewards, etc; I have had little time to plan the actual marketing for the launch.
With such little time, I will be limiting my marketing efforts on this launch and instead schedule in time for the second comic book launch.
This video gives some great resources and practical tips for planning and learning about the best way to get free publicity and how to properly utilize your paid strategies.
I hope you enjoy the video as much as I did.
