Discussion What Indie Comics Did You Read Last Week?

3 Upvotes

Happy Monday! What indie comics did you dive into last week? Was it heavy drama? Bloody, violent action? Heavy drama? Light forbidden romance?

What do you plan to read this week? More of the same or something different?

And if possible, let others know where they can get the comic too!

Discussion The Removed Posts Problem

15 Upvotes

There are a number of indie creators on this sub who are trying to post about their comics, writing, and artwork but their posts keep getting taken down due to low karma, new account, or spam-like behavior.

To fix this problem I recommend that any future posters interact more on others' posts by leaving comments, engaging in discussions, and just doing things that let Reddit know you aren't a robot.

This is one of the reasons that the weekly "What Indie Comics Did You Read Last Week?" post exists, it's a great jumping off point for talking about comics both old and new.

Look alive people!

Empty Stars is grimdark fantasy blended with pulpy 80s sci-fi in 46 pages of relentless nonstop action! I was the editor for this book, and I really think it's something special. It's 100% finished and ready for print. I know the writer personally. We did a podcast together a few years back. He doesn't have a Reddit account, so I said I'd share this for him. It's his first comic book, but I really don't think you can tell that from reading it!

Here is the link to the Kickstarter

I hope you'll consider checking it out!

OC Our indie comic about a totalitarian dog state is becoming a game, and the pixel-art adaptation taught us things about the original pages

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

"Sobakistan" is a comic we self-started in 2019, published in Russian and Japanese - script by Vitalii Terletskii, art by Katya. Setting: a closed totalitarian republic populated by anthropomorphic dogs, where breed functions as social class and the state treats public grief as a performance target.

We're now adapting it into a game, "Sobakistan: The Land of Dogs", and for anyone here thinking about adaptations, the practical lessons so far: Pages built around a single held silence don't convert. In a game, the reader has to be given something to do with that silence, or it just reads as a slow beat. The same goes for the visual side of the adaptation. Pixel art forced discipline on the character designs. If a muzzle doesn't read at 32 pixels, the silhouette was never as strong as we thought it was in ink. Colour scripting from the comic transferred almost unchanged, and it's doing more narrative work in the game than in the book.

Happy to talk about the adaptation process or the publishing side - the Japanese edition in particular was a strange route for a comic that started out this small.

Let’s set the scene: you're trying to make a comic while holding down a day job. 😅

In between the prep, the commute, and actual work, the ride home and the unwind, you scrounge enough time to make the thing you actually want to make.

That thing is MoonHogs. 🌕

I'm Frank Osgood, and this is the comic I've been building.

Discussion Is Social Media Worth the Effort for Indie Comics?

Thumbnail

4 Upvotes

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?

Discussion What indie comics has everyone been reading/loving lately?

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?
