Check out Emerald-Man!
I have been making Emerald-Man for a year now, and it has been a blast. I have 10 issues released, of 14-16 page long stories. If you like silver aged superheroes and Irish/Scottish Celtic Myth, this one may interest you. The best way I can describe it is like the disney TV show Gargoyles, where it meshes myth/folklore with modern day superheroes. Except I try to treat the characters more like an old fashioned comic book.
But what is Emerald-Man? It is about Stephen Barnes, the current descendant of an ancient clan of druids who are sworn to protect the world from the forces of evil. He swears a knight's oath to become a hero, one devoted to defeating evil spirits, fey, and other unseelie beings. He goes against a vengeful spirit named the Fetch, who seeks to destroy the spirit of Danu ni Muach, the last druid and Emerald-Man's mentor.
I have already seen 3.3k views on the first issue alone, and hundreds more on other issues. While I am still an amateur, I promise to try and deliver a satisfying story with uplifting principles, not cynical storytelling. Emerald-Man is not an anti-hero; while the stories may revolve around truly evil villains, Emerald-Man is a light in the darkness against them. I hope you guys enjoy it too!

I've been meaning to check out your series. I have seen it suggested a lot as a book that readers of my series might enjoy. No time like the present. I'll take a look now.
Hi CollinL, I just finished reading your comic and enjoyed it. I like how Stephen's character is developing and will read more. How long have you had this story in mind? Is comics your hobby or career? I've recently made comics my career and wonder- how it's been for you?
My first comic is out now; please check it out, too. I'm not sure how to promote it yet, but I'm hoping the art and story are enough to grow an audience. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

So far comics has been a hobby for me. I have had the story in mind for about a decade though it's been changed over and over quite a bit. This is the final draft.
This has been a fantastic process for me as well. It helps to see our work published digitally before having it printed. I have a printer in Vietnam for the Vietnamese market, but I need to figure out who to use for the USA. I am thinking Ka-blam. Any recommendations?
I tried Ka-Blam, their print quality is excellent but they have limited formatting, and getting their books through their shop took forever for me.
Which company has been best for you? By the way, I just finished Chapter 3. The chapter was nicely done! I especially like your writing and coloring. Good work!
I have not printed much at all. I have stayed digital for now. Only because I don't think I have enough readers to back a huge book campaign.
Got it. Thx.
Just saw this. Great work Collin, really like this style of classic comics and your approach, will follow and check out your uploads.
Been making comics myself for a bit of fun. Hoping to work on something new soon to try and sell and promote.
