Feel like you’re the next big comic book marketing guru? We’ll see, drop me a line and we’ll talk.
So, why didn’t I make the list? I mean this is my blog, I should on here somewhere right?
Well, I won’t be a leader until I make it on somebody else’s blog. You are not a leader until you help people. Otherwise, you are just a loner. Plus, I don’t think people will be as receptive to your comic book as you would like them to be. There is too much bad stigmatism with that terminology as I point out here.
To make the most of your marketing effort, I think we need to REBRAND THE COMIC INDUSTRY and it starts by changing our name, our attitude, and our look. Why do you think DC is doing it? It’s time.
