Fan Comics and the Like....

Greetings to the Multi-Media forums. You might have seen me and some of my colleagues around. I just wanted to pose a question to the community here, as it seems most of you are here daily.

Fan made comic books, do you read them, do you like them?

We have created the City of Comic Creators a few years back, and have been pumping out comics right and left, also have created a wiki to archive, store, and collect all the COH Fan Comics into one resource. With the fall of COHComics.com (which we are recovering btw), we have gathered most of them back up.

Now some creators in our group publish monthly, some publish bi-monthly, and some like myself, publish multiple issues each month, sometimes 2-3 a week. I realize some people can say they aren't real comics, using screenshots instead of art. But isn't the dialogue art in itself? So Creator A can't draw, or creator B only publishes 2 comics a year, and Creator C publishes so many you can't keep up! But that's a great thing, it keeps the comics rolling for all our reading pleasure.

You may or may not like some of them, or all of them. But the biggest question here I think a few of the creators in our group wonder.

Do they get read and enjoyed? So often do we wonder when we publish a new one, did anyone even read it? Is this worth my time and energy to screenshot/render, write dialogue, block it out, create the pdf, upload it, tell everyone about it? Only to have no one care to read it, are we wasting our time? Of course not, because we love to do it, but as any artist of any type can tell you, if someone besides yourself is not enjoying it, somewhere deep it breaks our heart.

We have a thread stickied in announcements that Avatea has been so gracious to lend space to us, for the publishing of our new books. You see posts here and there in this forum, for our new issues. And usually each creator will post the new issues in their own server forum too.

If you are a reader, even in passing, of any of the active members of our group, Kinetic_Kitten, Sin_Stalker, Battlerock_X, Night_Hornet, Golden_Girl. Please tell us, post here, give some feedback, constuctive criticism on issues, etc. Check out our site, COHComicIndex.com.

If you are a comic creator, and you wish to join our community and have yours added to the COH Comics Index Archive, or WIKI, let one of us know, and we can get you access to our forum here on the COH boards.

Thanks for your time all.

Personally I like what I have seen posted on the forums from several people... But I am lazy, I generally don't seek the comics out.

Thanks for the response Caem.

I guess the 'MULTI-MEDIA' forums aren't the place for a comic, which falls into that category. I really thought a post on behalf of the Comic Creators would get some kind of feedback, but I was sadly mistaken.

The CCC - City of Comic Creators, thanks anyone that has read this thread, and wishes you enjoy our offerings. If you feel compelled, please let one of us know that you enjoyed the issues.

Thanks much.
