DO PEOPLE READ COMICS? IF SO, HOW?
Hello Stranger!
Happy Thursday!
While we prepare for a Hollywood meeting today that could change the lives of all the lovely people at Stranger Comics, and alter the journey of Niobe, the Stranger, and all the characters that inhabit the world of Asunda, we have to digest the reality of the comic industry, and entertainment in general.
Are you not entertained? Or more importantly how do we entertain you?
We are blessed to have you as our community, which we have nurtured now for over fifteen years! And we see the shift. Are young folks reading comics or just watching reaction videos on YouTube? Do people have the patience to enjoy comic storytelling and immerse into new worlds? In these days of clickbait and online validation, are we only interested in indie comics if they're a movie? Or at the very least influencer endorsed? Or celebrity attached? -- Please read the comics (without the TV on) and decide for yourself :)
It is important to hear the winds of change, but to also hold fast against a storm of online cosmetics, as we endeavor to provide you with what we have always done our best to do – our mission statement.
We believe that story and art are sacred.
So, dear Stranger, let’s stay in touch.
How do we get comics to you guys?
Diamond Distribution has filed for bankruptcy, as we mentioned last week – which means getting stuff to comic shops (for the meantime) is going to be tough. So here are ways for you to get our stuff:
KICKSTARTER: As you may know we have a platform to get the dopest exclusive covers and tales into your hands. Our newest Kickstarter date for NIOBE is set for February 22nd at 10 am PST. HIT NOTIFY UPON LAUNCH HERE TO BE REMINDED. We also recommend setting a Google calendar! In case the Kickstarter blast hits the spam folders.
In related news, we will be starting RPG Modules soon on Kickstarter so you can play in the world of Asunda!
You also can follow my platform here to not miss out.
PATREON: We have a Patreon! Even more gems and the most rare exclusives, and sneak peeks and Patreon only zooms. You also get ALL of our ebooks for just $5 per month!
Join our Patreon Platform here.
WEB COMICS: We have partnered with Global Comix, so you can read in Episodes! Follow along here.
CONVENTIONS: Come see us at ECCC and WonderCon in March, and more to come!
WEBSITE and SOCIALS: Check out our website (which we are updating, new look soon), and our mini store on LinkTree and the TIKTOK shop, which gives great deals to customers!
SOCIAL LIVE EVENTS: Like tonight at 6 pm PST / 9 pm EST I am back to celebrate what we do with you on INSTAGRAM. With FREE giveaways and deals! Also follow our TikTok, Whatnot, YouTube, FB, X, Bluesky – all @strangercomics. I will also be on YOUTUBE LIVE so hit all the like, remind, sub buttons here.
Much love and stay stranger! Seb
P.S. We will be sending out more newsletters, and emails over the coming weeks. Please bear with them if you have seen the Kickstarter info. We are fighting spam wars, where a lot of people are missing stuff!
