Venturing into digital comics

I have been avoiding this for years but it was bound to eventually happen. Digital comics isn't necessarily the future as far as I'm concerned but they will be a big part of it. I think print comics will alaways have it's place among fans who want to actually hold that tangable comic in there hands, or those collectors who will be willing to pay triple it's value over a bidding war on ebay.There's no doubt in my mind about that, but digital comics are here to stay and I best be getting my shit together if I plan to market my comics using that platform. I have just set up a comixology account and a drive thru comics account and I'm in the process of creating a Kindle Comic Creator file to launch through Amazon.If you frequent any of these sites then you already know the mass library of digital comics available. And it isn't just for the mainstream publishers, tons of Indie comic publishers have already jumped on the band wagon and are having a lot of success selling their digital comics. It's never been easier to get your comics out to the masses than it is now.It just makes sense with all of the touch screen tablets and phones on the market today and the way we transfer media to one another all over the world using this technology that this is a great marketing tool. Not only that, you save so much on printing costs. Sure, you charge less for your book but you also make a bigger profit by cutting out printing and shipping costs. So, to make a long story short, I'm getting with the times and getting into the digital comics market. I'll keep you all posted as to where and when to get my comics once I get everything in order. Take care until next week. - Kenny
