From the way things look (are) the market is completely cornered

An answer to one Anon:
> What are your current ideas OP, are you working with a fuckton of money or just a dream?

I'm working with no money whatsoever. I just switched from a Art major at my College to Business and have been learning a few things. The biggest is "Never assume to know what customer wants". So I decided to come here.

I was intrigued by the business plan of a company I stumbled upon called Legion M, which was a company funded by fans (As well as some big name investors). They got quite a bit of cash from people that believed that they could have say in what was created (I have no idea if they do or not).

I was wondering, if it worked for the media company: could it work for a comic book publishing company as well.

Another problem I'm having trouble solving is funding artists. Finding them is no big deal, I built myself into a community and I know quite a few that would probably love the chance.

What I'm worried about is really just funding them. I don't want to undersale a artist for their work (Being a artist myself it just seems like betrayal). I'm feeling like taking out a loan to get it started.

Don't need top of the line artists, but I don't want to be out here like a lot of other new publishers with half-assed artists doing the work.

Sorry guys rambling, this isn't what I came here for. Financial matters is a personal problem to be solved. I came here looking for your opinions. What you want to see and all that.

Somebody posted this a few days ago, in a thread about the 90s crash. There's a lot here, and some of it might not be of interest for you, but it deals with two cases you might want to pay attention: Valiant and Image.

Fuck off

>Tfw I feel like I'm the only one who genuinely enjoys Valiant stuff but can't talk about it on /co/ because every thread turns into a Faith thread

This is why we can't have nice things. So how about that Harbinger Renegades #5?

That doesn't help me at all

I'm going to look through this man. Thanks, all help and insight is appreciated.

People gravitate to what they don't like Anon, sorry for your plight dude. I haven't read anything from Valiant yet, but I do follow them... gotta know your comp and market. What would you recommend?

Harbinger is what I started with and I grew really attached to Peter and co but ended up really liking Harada a lot. The book goes into a lot of detail about how we should root for Peter when he's basically a walking unstable nuclear bomb and does a lot of questionable shit while Harada has good intentions comes off as a villain in a lot of stories. Britannia is pretty solid and I love the artwork.

Issue was complete dogshit, Palmer was horribly out of character, a bunch of good characters died for shock value alone, made everything that happened on Gen Zero completely meaningless, and then there was the completely out of place Trump joke(?) at the end.
Worst of all that even after all that book remains painfully bland.
