A Tale Of Two Kickstarter Panels At Long Beach Comic Con

Bleeding Cool loves a Kickstarter. Our weekends are usually full of them. Our employers Avatar Press seem rather keen on them too.

Well, at Long Beach Comic Con coming up on the 17th and 18th September, they've got a couple of panels on the subject. Firstly asking whether 'tis better to kickstart of to self-fund, that being the question… and once you are on Kickstarter, how to make it work.

We'd suggest one of the ways is to write a piece for Bleeding Cool for the weekend, but maybe they have some other ideas…

 

Kickstarter vs. Self Funding: The Indie Creator Fight of the Century, Saturday 12:30-1:30, Room S7

Comic creators are split down the middle between Kickstarter being the best thing in the universe and it being the worst. Mike Wellman is the ultimate Kickstarter detractor, instead funding all his books himself. Russell Nohelty is the biggest Kickstarter advocate around, funding four books through Kickstarter and crediting it with the only reason he has a company. Join them as they fight to the pain about the pros and cons of using Kickstarter in this bare-knuckle brawl between two incredible comic creators making awesome stuff.
