Great thread of current KS campaigns.

Why do comic creators self-promote all the time?

Because we have to.

Even working with a publisher that's supportive, press only goes so far. The rest of the success falls on the shoulder of the creator rallying their fanbase.

So here's mine. I'll RP yours.

Panel 1 INT. EL SLEEZO’S DISCOUNT RECORDS – MID MORNING – SHOT OF BARNEBUS, AND CUSTOMERS Barnebus speaks up, the two customers directing their attention to him. CUSTOMER 1 CUSTOMER 2 Hey, I couldn’t help but over hear you’re in a bit of a jam, what’s up? Oh, uh, it’s nothing! Just that we’ve got a shindig going on at our club, The Dead Duck Inn. Yeah, one of our bands had to drop out! Stinking Strep Throat season, ya know? Panel 2 DITTO, BUT CLOSER SHOT OF BARNEBUS Barnebus muses a bit as he chats with the two. BARNEBUS OLICH, THAT BITES! SO WHAT, YOU TWO CAN'T FIND A REPLACMENT BAND? I MEAN, COULDN'T BE TOO HARD, RIGHT? CUSTOMER 2 OH, IT IS! EVERYONE IN OUR ROSTER OF BANDS HAPPEN TO HAVE GIGS ELSEWHERE, AND IT'S A PAIN IN THE ASS TO FIND NEW TALENT AROUND HERE BARNEBUS Well… you two are in luck! Panel 3 CLOSE UP OF BARNEBUS Barnebus goes on to offer his band a chance to land their first gig. BARNEBUS I just happen to be a part of a band, and I think we could be a perfect last-minute replacement! Panel 4 SHOT OF BARNEBUS, AND CUSTOMERS The two customers look at each other blankly as Barnebus looks super proud of himself, his eyes closed and arms crossed.

Specifically wanted to shine a light on this panel. Thought it turned out great on the page.
Close-up of hands typing on a typewriter. The page being typed reads: “Y’see, the night Sacred Heart Church burned down…was Lisa’s wedding night.”

The longer you’re in comics, your aspirations change from “I’d like to work with that publisher some day” to “I refuse to ever work with that publisher again” lol

Panel 1 INT. EL SLEEZO’S DISCOUNT RECORDS – MID MORNING –ABOVE SHOT OF AL AND BARNEBUS Barnebus looks tired on his first day of work, as if he isn’t used to waking up at around 9:00 or so. Al begins to list off his duties and tasks as Barnebus is seen struggling to keep himself awake. AL Since it’s your first day, I’ll be starting you off with cleaning and sorting the used records. BARNEBUS Mmmm... Panel 2 CLOSE SHOT OF VELVET BRUSH, MICROFIBER BRUSH AND CLEANING SPRAY Al starts out with record cleaning 101, showing him the tools, he’ll be using, with the Velvet Brush, microfiber brush, and cleaning spray laid out in that specific order. AL (OP) CAPTION spray Panel 3 Now I don’t know if your parents have ever taught you how to clean these, but in case they haven’t, it’s pretty simple. You’ll be using these. Velvet brush, microfiber brush and cleaning CLOSE UP OF AL Al then begins laying down the record cleaning procedure. Grabbing onto the Microfibre brush, he starts dusting off a random record to demonstrate. AL So first thing’s first, take your microfiber here, and start brushing the dust and static out in a circular fashion, just like how I’m demonstrating. Next you- BARNEBUS (OP) Zzz... Panel 4 SHOT OF BARNEBUS AND AL Al then notices Barnebus is fast asleep, sighing in an annoyed fashion. BARNEBUS Zzz... AL Sheesh… Panel 5-9 CLOSE UP ON AL Al then proceeds to get out a copy of Curtis Mayfield’s debut album, flip it onto Side B, place it onto an LP Player connected to the store’s speakers, and presses play. Panel 10 SHOT OF BARNEBUS AND AL The loud horn part of “Move On Up” quickly wakens Barnebus up to a startle, Al chuckling a bit. BARNEBUS GAH! MOTHER OF SHIT

Sal Buscema was a splendid character artist who (vitally; unexpectedly) found a swingin figure energy for spider-man in the 90s—bringing the rhythm back, to make a whole other domestic setup feel foundational—but it wasn’t just that—he was also such a fine panelsman. Snap ur fingers:
Green Goblin swooping up a really horrified Mary Jane Green goblin, having been hit, extends beyond the panel outline of a first pagewide panel, and hits the wall and slumps further down it over the progression of the bottom three evenly sized vertical panels. He’s physically lower in each subsequent one, despite differing angles and distances A nice panel grid—easily stuff due to its aggressively “fixed” nature—is bounded through demonically, stretching out an inevitable horror A horizontal pagewide pane at both the top and bottom of the page show Peter and Mary jane’s reactions to the circumstances, while between them, in the middle layer of the page, three vertical panels showing Harry’s choice to stay unbalanced are weighted as a progression down by connecting through colour the top of the left one with the upper panel, and the bottom of the right with the lower panel, though the panels themselves are rendered level

I’m not saying we don’t need all hands on deck. Happy to have anyone join the team

It’s just frustrating to see the trend always play out: a marginalized person makes something out of a place of struggle & necessary expression of the pain it comes with; crickets. White guys do it; celebration.
