Trying to fund your independent comic on something like Kickstarter and Indiegogo is not easy. Unless you’re looking for comics I don’t know how easy it is for them to show up in suggestions with all of the other items looking to crowdfund their dream project (or scam their backers). Then you have reports of shadow bans for personal or in some views political reasons. It would be easier to have one spot just for comic projects that truly is an open platform for creators who just want to make comic stories regardless of their ideology that people looking for new comics can check out. We can’t all start our own publishing company like Eric July did to go around the current system that favors DC and Marvel.
Bleeding Fool goes over a soon-to-launch crowdfunder just for comics who doesn’t care who you voted for in the last election. As someone who wants to make comics I’ll be keeping an eye on this to see how well it promotes indie comic creators and whether or not they get the short end in the future.
