BUSINESS
PERSPECTIVE
A market exists because
‘what’s next’ in Comics
has no single channel for
marketing, education,
or collaboration ... So
the people with financial
ability have controlled
the market.
INDIE COMICBOOK
CREATORS ARE
FRUSTRATED.
DESPERATELY TRYING TO GET THEIR WORK
INTO THE HANDS OF FANS AND PUBLISHERS
Every creator has an account on Twitter, Behance,
SmackJeeves, Comixology, Blogspot, Instagram, Etc...

IT’S ALWAYS THE SAME STORY.
Pound the pavement. Hit the cons. Self Publish with stacks collecting dust in forgotten corners.
Submit to publishers. Be rejected. Struggle to be seen next to the big corporate Comics.

BUSINESS
PERSPECTIVE
This has been going
on with innovators
since the beginning of
time. But now, on-line,
we can create a viable
marketplace, job source,
and art gallery/store. This
is ComixCentral.
BUT STILL, THAT
SPARK AND LOVE
OF THE MEDIUM
PERSISTS.
No one is more stubborn than a
Comic creator with a story to tell.

HOW DO WE KNOW THERE IS INTEREST?
BUSINESS PERSPECTIVE
And the Indie ComicBook industry shows no signs of slowing. Despite current
sales channels having significant limitations, and creator profits remaining low.

of learning and work.

promote’. ComixCentral

ComixCentral has re-imagined
and innovated the entire
WebComic experience. From
uploading to reading and
sharing.
Making WebComics more
accessible and fun to read!
BUSINESS
PERSPECTIVE
At the end of the day, no
matter how committed
a person may be ... we
need money. The on-line
presentation of Comics
and the marketing of those
Comics is totally hit and
miss. ComixCentral has
developed a proprietary
system for the posting
and sale of original,
uncensored comics. Here,
at last, is one medium for
fans and artists to follow
their passion.

A CENTRAL
MARKETPLACE
Here Indie Comic creators,
illustrators, writers, bloggers,
Pod-casters, Publishers and
more can promote and
distribute their work.
Build a gas station on the corner and you may get some business. Build four gas stations, one
on each corner, and that becomes the place to get gas. Here, all in one place, is the market for
everything Comics. With no advertising, we have already gained 5,000 followers on Twitter.
Just the mention of a central place like ours and people want to know ‘where’ and ‘when’.

to find new and exciting
people and product.
For the creators it is
a chance to be seen,
purchased, and to find
support. This concept
has legs!

THE BIG CORPORATIONS AND GIVES INDIE
CREATORS THEIR OWN SPACE TO SHINE.

Epicenter. A community & marketplace where
Indie creators are given everything they need for

THIS IS NO SMALL UNDERTAKING AND IT WILL
REQUIRE RELIABLE, SECURE ACCESS 24/7.
While the design, flow, and visual components are fully
developed it is time build the platform that will contain
what will be millions of visits annually.
Legal must be considered and implemented to insure
ourselves and our users protection. (One legal goal
is to provide significant copyright protection for our
contributors.)
We recognize that our software and infrastructure must
go to the next level.
THE COMIXCENTRAL TEAM, SO FAR!
