Graphicly

Click on the title to check out Graphicly, an ecomic publishing service.  It looks interesting, to be sure, and it appears to make your comic PC/Kindle/iPad friendly.

It could be exactly what a guy that just draws a story would want. Who really wants to learn the ins and outs of wordpress.

But is it the new minimum print run budget buster of e-commerce?

I'll look it over.

Something like this could make you craft things for the service.

So, if I'm reading it right, 150 bucks flat rate?

Money

The legalese doc had a lot of something about "all applicable fees" sounded less definite.

But 150 covers everything per story or book, that sounds good

Yeah, I need to dig into it a bit further to see what they offer and costs and such. Does that $150 get you placement Somewhere in the Apple store?

Hmm. I clicked on creators and it was amazing and daunting. You know that "crowded shelf" feeling you get from a visit to the comic book store. Click creators, see that big page filled with dozens of people that's name starts with "A" and then discover that you have to page advance 5 pages to get out of the "A s." Lots and lots of product. And I believe that is what they are. The main portal for product. I guess iTunes is a direction to another portal, but I'm sure they get some part of the iTune purchase.

It's still interesting. Obviously 1000 "A" creators thought it was worthwhile. The community discussion may be the best place to go for a quick sense of things.

Community just seems to be an update of minute to minute purchases.

The Blog looks good for discussion of the commerce...

It's also striving to be a facebook of comics.

Google related. Now that I've been back and forth on the Grapicly site, I now get banner ads for Graphicly when I visit other random sites.

Bill Cunningham of Mad Pulp Bastard emailed me a reaction to the iApp version of a Graphicly produced comic.
I reaction to some notions I sent him about Motion Comics...

" In MOTION comics you want just that - (e)motion. So cutting art into levels and giving it some minimal motion is necessary. Just moving the "camera" around to another panel isn't going to cut it. You can get the same effect with Graphicly (which I hate by the way because it makes odd panel choices and so forth as you're reading. It's distracting). "
