This is the cover to RELAUNCH - a new, science fiction comic by me and my friend Daniel Govar. The comic was written and designed specifically for online and tablet reading and is available on our site right now. We’re pretty proud of it. Also, if you haven’t seen Dan’s illustration work you’re missing out. It’s pretty amazing stuff. Enjoy!

Got some spare time? Make a comic!

Download the sample printable comic right here!

Reasons for doing this?

1: My followers can finally have a printed comic by me.

2: It seemed like a fun activity to do, specially with young kids.

3: It might be cool if interweb folks shared tiny little mini comics with each other. And a whole bunch of people can print each other’s comics and maybe we could collect ones by other artists. So… ya know. Why not?

ahhh cute

Yesss…


Now go makes some comics!

American comics are distributed almost exclusively by one company, Diamond, which—whether you like Diamond or not—is, in a free market system, madness.

Maybe every other American movie shouldn’t be based on a comic book. Other countries will think Americans live in an infantile fantasy land where reality is whatever we say it is and every problem can be solved with violence.

Five Ways To Ensure You Don’t Innovate

Frame Breaking LudditeIt’s an interesting time for digital comics. Creators and publishers are pushing the storytelling envelope in new, innovative ways; but the comic book industry is nothing if not traditional. Here are five ways to shut that shit down!  
  • Spread authority around to multiple people with different agendas.
  • Make sure anything new only works within the parameters of existing systems.
  • Don’t empower the people responsible for the work to make critical decisions.
  • Discourage experimentation.
  • Punish failure.

Civilians need to be trained in order to embrace serialized fiction the way that comics does it…in fact, they have to be trained to even read comics in the first place, and that’s much harder to do remotely on the internet as opposed to the personalized experience in a quality store.

Piracy Isn’t Theft

Pirating comics is copyright infringement. No doubt. Piracy also raises serious ethical issues; for example, creators rights with regard to the distribution and sale of their work. No question. However, piracy isn’t theft. Not literally anyway.

If a thief takes a comic then he has it and you don’t. The thief has deprived you of the product. Not true with piracy. If a pirate bootlegs a comic then he has it…but so do you. The product itself has multiplied. Piracy is a crime of giving.

It’s still tempting to link piracy with theft because of the implied connection to lost sales; however, the truth is that we simply can’t know if person that illegally downloads comics would have ever purchased them conventionally. In fact, Nathan Torkington, chair of the O’Reilly Open Source Convention (among other things) posits that media pirates are motived by convenience more than economics.

“rights holders…perpetuate the piracy ‘problem’ by not giving consumers the convenience that piracy does”

A recent study by Entertainment Media Research supports this idea.

“…’pirates’ are actually doing a very good job at categorizing, organizing and presenting content; furthermore, their content is always DRM-free…”

In fact, there’s even evidence to suggest that, given the right circumstances, pirating comics may even help increase sales. This is particularly interesting because, if we can assume there’s no practical difference between a digital comic and a pirated copy, it implies that piracy might have changed the dynamics of compensation itself. Instead of simply paying for goods, compensation now includes abstract concepts like quality and entitlement. 

Here’s the problem: piracy is a complex, ethical issue. It is not the digital equivalent of a stolen goods. The disconnect between the language we use and how we understand the problem only contributes to further, misguided solutions.
