You may have a comic, but do you have a community? Support can be hard to come by when you’re a comic creator. You may not even be able to turn to your own family for advice or critique, let alone friends.

“I’m glad to see those years at that art institute are finally paying off. Wait – you…you are getting paid for this, right?”
At this point, you may find yourself turning to your readers for insight and advice. They are, after all, your demographic.
“Hi guys – I’m trying out a new coloring technique. Let me know what you think!”
