Complete guide to Webcomics October 10, 2008
This has is all. From start to finish, if you want to get going in Webcomics...this really has it all. Damn this is cliche! But its true. Everything you need to know about it. Hosting services. Publishers, merchandising your web comics and a bunch of great stuff. You won't regret buying this book. Sure the comics in it are dry., the information in it is sound and got me going! I would recommend it to anyone who wants to give it a go and wants a complete understanding of the business.
The Sad State of Amazon July 14, 2008

While the book is great and Amazon itself did a great job of shipping and giving me a good quality undamaged book. It took me almost a month dealing with Amazon's partners who offered the book much cheaper and claiming to have it in stock before I was able to cancel and order with Amazon directly. Days and weeks after submitting the orders both sellers all of a sudden claimed that the item is out of stock but they would be getting it in. Why are they allowed to offer it as available when it is not? This to me is false advertising and a bait and switch scheme that Amazon needs to look into. After dealing with these partners I ordered from Amazon directly and they were quick and efficient.

Best book on webcomics July 10, 2008

I've read a number of books about webcomics and this is by far the most complete. I recommend to anyone who wants to publish their comic online.
Love the book! June 10, 2008

Scott, Brad, Kris and Dave draw upon everyday household items you might have laying around to create a time machine or a flying car. For good measure they also pass on the secret to eternal youth and the location of the lost Ark.
Well, they might as well have.
Starting from the idea that the reader can already draw enough to make a comic (there is no "How to draw a..." section), they mold the reader into a writer, agent, techie and business person. They pass on all of their secrets in a full confession sharefest that reads like a conversation between the authors (similar to the discussions on their "Webcomics Weekly" Podcast).
The book is full of humor and brilliant ideas. The art comes from each contributor's comics and really adds to the points of the book.
You should buy two books as one will likely fall apart from constant use and you will need the second to give to your children someday. I bought four extra copies and hidden them at the corners of the world, and in my will I have clues to find each copy in an elaborate race to determine who I will leave my entire fortune to.

As someone who's been creating a webcomic for many years (Pewfell), I found this book to be very well put together, helpful and inspirational. I would definitely cite it as being essential reading for anyone hoping to monetize their own webcomic. Though much of it was stuff I already knew, I still found very many useful insights from these four guys who've actually walked the walk. All the information is put together in a fun, lighthearted, easy-to-read and well-thought-out way with lots of practical examples, great illustrations and comic strips. Great work & thanks for sharing, guys!
