Comment by Gabe Russo on March 10, 2009 at 6:04pm: Hi all, new to the group. I do a couple of web comics; Surly Guy and SuperModel. Not a lot of action in this group.

Comment by Rachel Keslensky on December 6, 2008 at 11:39am: Greg, are you kidding me? I STILL don't understand the different business model. I doubt anyone really does; it's very much a "Feel it out as you go" sort of attitude.

(And that's funny, I get next to no respect at Anime Cons... or at least I didn't at the last one I went to. One girl even ran away from my table screaming.)

Comment by Sean Taylor on December 5, 2008 at 10:05pm: Greg, why not repost that to the forum and see what anyone else has to add about the topic? Thanks.

Comment by Greg Carter on December 5, 2008 at 10:01pm: Webcomics are where mini-comics were a few years ago. It was what you did to get your suck out. As more comics move from print single to online serialization, webcomics will be regarded in a better light. Like anything else, respect has to be earned. FreakAngels by Warren Ellis is amazing.

Of course, I'm talking about full-page comic-book style webcomics. Not the strips. They have similar problems from the print cartoonists.

People stuck in print don't understand the different business model for running comics online. Once they learn how to monetize their comics they never look back.

Comment by Sean Taylor on December 5, 2008 at 9:15pm: Sounds like a discussion topic just waiting to happen, amigo.

Comment by Greg Carter on December 5, 2008 at 9:06pm: Which is why I do mainly anime cons - they love webcomics and are open to many things. Not just manga. Although that helps.

Comment by Sean Taylor on December 5, 2008 at 8:57pm: More like perpetrating the comic book convention attitude.

Comment by Greg Carter on December 5, 2008 at 8:43pm: "Web comics creators get no respect"

Perpetuating the negative stereotype, eh?
:-p

FAQ

What is this network?

The Atlanta Comics Creators network is just what it says it is, group of Atlanta-based comics creators who use this online resource to make connections, build peer relationships, and further their comics careers.

Who is invited to join?

All mainstream, indie, or webcomic artists, inkers, writers, colorists, editors, and publishers; animators; and pop art and low brow creators local to the Atlanta area.

What can I do here?

Take part in forums to pick the minds of other creators, mentor and be mentored, develop small groups based on locale for real life connections, show off your work, form creative teams, network into national and international markets based on current members, and more to come, such as chat functions and more.

Why should I take part?

Because working in this industry tends to isolate us more than pull us together. Because you never know who your next boss or co-worker will be. Because making friends among your peers is a good practice. Because somebody worked really hard to try to make this place a useful resource, dang it.

What are "groups"?

"Groups" are ways of hooking up by common interests (such as manga or webcomics), location (North Atlanta or Downtown), job focus (artist, writer, pop art, or animator), or any other criteria that bonds us together in groups of people that can help each other become more effective or just hang out and enjoy each others' company.

Where can I get more info about this network?
