Actually i interpreted the question as in: "what do you think makes your comic stand out from the crowd?"
There are countless webcomics on the net, and they pretty much cover all genres and styles. So what are your strengths? Where do you put most effort in being original?

That's how i saw the question and answered it.
Forgive me if i got it wrong.

In my honest opinion, I think my comic's storyline (not art) is ahead of most of the comics on here. I try to write stories for people outside of manga/comics fandom.

Also, my comic isn't weeabooish. Even though, the drawings are manga influenced, I don't try to be Japanese with the story (which is the problem with most of the comics). I want people to see me as an storyteller &, not some manga fan girl that draws.

My other webcomic "The Business of Fashion" --> http://www.mangamagazine.net/manga-and-comics/The-Business-of-Fashion/detail-page/1242?lang=en It's about people that work in the apparel industry.

Don't have a comic yet, so I don't have an answer. I'm surprised nobody asked this...

OP, why should WE read YOUR comic?

Well...

Let's see...

I perform a lot of research for my comic. I write speculative fiction with a mix of fantasy. A lot of the science and robot/nano technology you see in my comic is actually true. However, I write more about fringe science which I consider to be more interesting as a comic book concept than frontier science or center science.

My art style is nothing amazing or shocking like a lot of the amazing art on this site, but my topic is very interesting and I am a great story teller. My comic speculates what the world would be like after a major technological disaster.

An EMP rocks the planet leaving the world without technology. Humans discover a hidden potential used by their forefathers that laid dormant within their beings during the Techno Era.

On a separate end of the planet, a robot overlord wants to regain his humanity and is secretly testing theories that go against the rules of Robot City.

Not too far from Robot City, a cyborg clan is forming, a group of robot/humans who are shunned by the humans for being part robot and shunned by the robots of Robot city for being part human.

The conflicts get even thicker when a group of robots want rights for cyborgs and another group of humans agree.


Red! Thanks for that question! I never really thought this deeply into what my comic was until I flipped that question onto my self! It really helped me figure out a better way to promote my comic and really helped me understand what my comic is all about!

Thanks for asking! :mrgreen:

It makes you feel great about your comic.

Such as

"Well at least my comic isn't as bad as [Insert LazyGuys' comic here]"

and

[Insert user here]
- [IUH] looks at comic they made. States, "Well at least it isn't as bad as LazyGuys".

At first I was like, don't tell me what to do! Then I noticed in your sig that it was a Monster Hunter web-comic and I LOVE Monster Hunter!

So your advertising strategy works for a specific group.

Target a specific audience.

Or am I reading into this too much? :P

Five days into the new month and I have been digging through the promoting comics thread for the last two days. I would love to say a lot of posts are pretty good, but unfortunately most of the posts just state "bump." :(

Have you tried anything new in promoting your comic??

Cheers!

I dunno, what if I asked you nicely?
*Please read my comic? With sugar and whipped cream and a cherry on top? Don't forget the sprinkles!*
Wait! What if I asked you in Dr. Suess style? *Would you, could you read my comic?* P-p-p-p-p-p-please, Eddie! (Roger Rabbit ref)

I have manga style, but it's very mendable, like Western cartoons. Right now, I put an annoying watermark RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE of my frappin' comic. But I don't really know why I did that. I regret putting that annoying watermark RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE of my frappin' comic. One of these fine ol' days, I'm gonna remove that annoying watermark from RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE of my frappin' comic.
But, I'm young and aspiring and would like people to read it. I'm not the best artist in the world, but I'm gonna get better! All I need is motivation mojo! YEAH!

It's gotta a psychopathic doll maker in it, if that strikes your interest.
I plan on making it short, so you don't have to be overwhelmed by a never-ending series! And neither will I! :D

Um...because you like the person who wrote it? You don't know me, but I sure do know YOU. :mrgreen:

Welp, I hope that is enough for you, because I could rant all day.

Because my comic is the most interesting dissection of an American mid-life crisis mixed with superheroes you will ever find. Well, as it goes on. Ok it's actually not that interesting. But I like it anyways.
