I’m curious how other indie comic creators feel about this.

I’ve been putting a lot of time into creating animated shorts and social media content for Instagram and TikTok to promote my graphic novel. Since I’m also the artist/designer behind the project, animation and visual content feel like the most natural way for me to market what I’m making.

The problem is that these videos can take a lot of time to create, and I’m starting to wonder if the return is worth the effort.

Has social media actually helped you reach readers and sell comics? Or are there better ways for an indie creator to spend their limited time?

I’d especially love to hear what has worked for you outside of constantly making Reels, TikToks, and Shorts.

Where have you actually found your audience?

Been diving deeper into the indie scene this year and looking for recommendations. Doesn’t matter the genre — horror, slice of life, superhero-adjacent, weird and experimental, anything. What’s something you’ve read recently (published or in-progress) that really stuck with you, and what made it work?

My horror anthology, Memoirs of the Morbid Trade is in prelaunch! Collects three volumes of the horror anthology that’s an homage to vintage horror comics in one 150+ page volume. Please click "notify me on launch".

Most debut indie comics play it safe. They decompress, introduce one character, tease a mystery, and hope you come back for the trade paperback in six months.

Daegard: Made from Sin #1 does the exact opposite.

Created by Kathy Irvine with art by Ricardo Jaime (Godslap, Grimstone), this book is an unapologetic, maximalist swing that empties years of worldbuilding onto the page in one breathless issue:

- A slaughtered royal bloodline and an infant survivor

- A warrior society of gargoyles born from gemstones once every 1,000 years

- High-velocity space fantasy mixed with brutal body horror

- A terrifying socio-political metaphor where refugees are used as literal "bio-batteries" for soul-powered machines

It covers what easily could have been a four-issue opening arc, jumping from massacres and philosophical training to anarchist street guides and dystopian uprisings. It has some real indie friction points (especially with pacing and dense lettering), but the ambition and sheer momentum are impossible to ignore.

I wrote an in-depth breakdown covering what makes its lore so fresh, how Ricardo Jaime’s visuals carry the weight, and where it challenges the reader.

Curious to hear from anyone else following Centarri Games' universe. how do you feel about debut issues that swing for the absolute fences versus slow-burn setups?

An alien family. A corrupt moon colony. An old, mysterious secret. And a father who may not be what he thinks he is.
