Webcomicers have had a strong advantage for a while now: we’ve been the only people who truly believe in the business model of giving content away up front, building an audience, and then monetizing that audience. Up until this point, everyone in the comic book industry has been trying to sell digital comics. You pay to read. And you pay as much as print comics to read. Comixology, iVerse, Graphica.ly, etc. None of them really do what we do. Those companies make money for two entities: Themselves and Apple. The syndicates certainly don’t understand how it works. Their heads are so far up their asses they can’t hear the radio anymore. And the major comic book publishers are a tiered system of dedicated creators who love the artform, working for companies content to keep the direct market alive to fuel their movie making engines. Everyone is easily 15 years behind us. They’re just now starting to examine what we did back in the late 90’s.
