Part 4/10:
Substack, a platform traditionally associated with newsletter writers and independent bloggers, has increasingly become a hub for comic book creators. Its model allows creators to monetize directly from fans through subscriptions, offering a higher degree of control and profit compared to traditional comic publishing arrangements.
For a subscription fee—generally around $7 per month—fans can access exclusive comics, artwork, and updates. Creators, in turn, retain complete ownership of their work and intellectual property rights. Tinian's choice to move onto Substack underscores its growing appeal as an alternative to the traditional comic book system dominated by corporate publishers. It also signals a potential shift in how comics are created, distributed, and monetized.
