December 1, 2010 7:22 am Sorry to call you on that, but I think it's harmful to create friction through misinformation.

December 1, 2010 7:20 am theswordisdrawn: MCM has always had two shows, and the second show is always at the same time. They didn't "chose" to clash with BICS this year.

MCM are also NOT planning four London shows next year. There are events in Telford and Manchester run by the same people, which might be where you're getting confused?

It's also massive conjecture on your part to assume people were skipping BICS *because* of MCM being a week later, unless you heard directly from them that this was the case.

But I would suggest that, for many small press people, MCM is their choice because the table costs is about a third of that at BICS. When profit margins are so low, these are important things to consider.

Thanks guys!

 

I really love the Loki Kieron writes.

"One other note - one of the big attractions for publishers to a valid digital distribution system is the potential to reach customers who are not regulars on comic website and comic shops. Both of those places are great but they are buy and large "destination" sites for die hard fans of the medium. I don't got to music websites but I drop plenty of money on iTunes. We've largely lost the "casual" reader and this could be a great way to capture them."

 

Exactly, Filip. I'm very excited that publishers like Top Cow have got the foresight to see this.

June 24, 2009 7:13 am Haha, thanks. I was beginning to think my comments were invisible. :D

From what I saw, you can have the ads as they are in the print comics. However, with the program's linking capability, I believe that means the advert can also be a link to the product's website or whatever - which would surely make it an appealing option to the advertisers.

 

But as far as I am aware, the digital version of a comic will/can basically be exactly the same as the print version. So a comic like ours would have no ads.

June 22, 2009 2:50 pm Queenrikki - spot on.
