Here's the thing, I'm like taking a lot of extra time to make the next Time-Rider story so I can submit it to Image. I'm really going slow trying to get it as good as possible. I think it's a lot more superior to my last story, art wise anyway. I wonder would it bad to put it here on the site and submit it to Image at the same time? Probably be at least a week or so before I'm even done.

That's true, and with all the time I'm spending I won't to get the most out of it. I guess I'm just thinking what if I got lucky enough that they say sure we'll publish it. Would it hurt that the same story was already on the internet?

Of course if I put it on the net and Image published it nobody might buy it because they'd already read for free on the net.

that's why when it got published u'd stop it on here conveniently at a time when it left people hanging, expand on the issues you'd done online in comic form, eventually answering the cliffhanger, and waalaa, you've got and audience of faithful fans dying for your john hancock. but i wouldn't worry about that until you get published. so are you sending ur scripts to image or what? __________________ "You...complete me."

What I'm doing is actually trying to create an honest to goodness comic book. I am making the pages in the proportionate size of a comic, and I've contacted the local print shop. I had a couple of pages tested which gave me a good idea of what I needed to do to get a good page pixel wise. They said they can even staple it together for me just like a comic. Once I'm done I'll send the finished product off to Image. It's likely to cost somewhere between 20 - 30 bucks for one comic. Maybe cheaper if I go with a slightly cheaper process. I'm going to use paper that is very similiar to modern comic book paper. Very slick paper like a comic book cover.

do ur best issue in that, and reuse it to send it to various companies. other than that, i'd avoid the super expensive stuff. __________________ "You...complete me."

Well it's like a dollar a page for the best I think it was and like 40 cents for the middle of the road. I'm probably going to run a couple more test pages to see which one looks the best and then go from there. I want to make the best impression possible.
