Hey everyone -

Issue 1 of Distemper, a post-apocalyptic horror comic book went live on Kickstarter this morning. I found both the interior artist (Nenad Cviticanin) and the cover artist (Hernan Gonzalez) on this sub, and am not only eternally grateful, but so stoked to feel like a success story of the community.

Distemper is both a comic book and a table-top roleplaying game set in the aftermath of the dog flu or the distemper, which wiped out 90% of the planet in less than a year. This is a very grounded post-apocalypse where there are no zombies, no mutants, and no aliens. There are just other, desperate survivors to contend with, and the biggest threat is always other people. 

This comic has been many years in the making and this issue was originally published by Blood Moon Comics just before they went out of business, and issues 2 & 3 never saw the light of day. This Kickstarter is the first step to getting the story told as I had intended.

So! If you like your post-apocalyptic horror on the dark and grounded side, somewhere between The Road, Black Summer (minus the zombies), and Deliverance, this might be for you.

Hey everyone!
I’m the creator/writer of an original action/fantasy manga called Blank Line, and I’m currently looking for a story/developmental editor to work with me on the series.
This is paid work.
I already have a storyboard artist and final manga artist. I handle the writing, characters, dialogue, worldbuilding, lore, power system, and overall creative direction.
What I’m looking for now is another creative brain who can work with me on the story itself before it goes into storyboarding.
What I need from an editor
I’m not looking for someone to rewrite the story for me or take over the creative direction.
I want someone who will challenge my work and be honest with me.
If something doesn’t make sense, tell me.
If the pacing is dragging or moving too quickly, tell me.
If a character decision feels forced or inconsistent, question it.
If I contradict something established earlier in the story, catch it.
If a rule within the power system creates a plot hole or raises a question I haven’t considered, bring it up.
If a reveal needs more setup, an emotional moment could hit harder, dialogue feels unnatural, or there’s an opportunity for stronger foreshadowing or payoff, I want to hear it.
Proofreading and dialogue cleanup are helpful, but story development and critique are the main things I need.
This is intended to be collaborative
I’m not looking for a one-time transaction where I send someone a chapter, receive an editorial report, and never speak to them again.
I want to actually talk through the story with my editor, discuss problems, bounce ideas back and forth, and work together on finding solutions while I remain the writer and creative director.
Blank Line is intended to be a long-running series, so I’m hoping to find someone who can gradually become familiar with its characters, world, lore, power system, factions, mysteries, and long-term story.
Eventually, I want my editor to know the series well enough to catch something like:
“You established this rule three chapters ago. What you’re doing here contradicts it.”
That kind of continuity is extremely important to me.
What I’m looking for
• Strong understanding of storytelling and story structure
• Familiarity with manga/anime storytelling
• Ideally familiar with battle shonen/action manga and long-form serialized stories
• Strong instincts for pacing and character development
• Comfortable working with extensive worldbuilding and a structured power system
• Able to track lore and continuity
• Understands setup, payoff and foreshadowing
• Comfortable questioning/challenging the creator when something isn’t working
• Interested in discussing problems and possible solutions collaboratively
• Reliable communication
• Potentially interested in working with the series long-term
Professional manga-industry experience is not required.
I’m completely open to indie editors, writers, manga creators, webcomic creators, or other storytellers who have the right skills and genuinely understand the medium.
What matters most to me is whether you understand storytelling, can give strong critical feedback, and whether our creative approaches work well together.
If you’re interested
Please respond publicly in the comments with:
• A little about yourself
• Your relevant editing/writing/storytelling experience
• A link to your portfolio, previous work, website, or other examples of your experience
• Some manga/anime you personally enjoy or are particularly familiar with
• Your general rates or how you normally charge
• Your current availability
Please keep applications and portfolio links in the comments in accordance with the subreddit’s hiring rules.
I’ll review the responses and publicly provided portfolios to determine who may be a good fit for the project.
Thanks!

Allow me to reintroduce myself, as it’s been a bit since I’ve posted in this sub. My name is Devin Arscott and I am an experienced freelance comic book editor with nearly 8 years experience in the industry. I am currently seeking new paid work, and would love to work with those of you seeking to improve your work.

I am full service editor, and my services include developmental, line, and grammatical editing towards your work. I prefer to work on sci-fi, fantasy, or superhero comics, but always open to other genres as I love all comics.

My page rate is $20 per page, but I’d like to offer my services for $200 flat up to 24-pages (if bigger we can discuss). 6 spots available, as my bandwidth for more these days is limited monthly.

Summer is ending but our End of Summer comics are still here!

Hey, I’m a writer looking for a manga artist to help develop a paid pilot for my original series, GODSMACKED.
The short explanation is that, in this world, supernatural abilities called Divine Marks transfer to the closest person when their owner dies. The recipient can’t refuse, redirect, or remove one.
There are three fundamental Marks—Strength, Speed, and Mind—but no two people necessarily use the same Mark in the same way. Every ability develops from that person’s eternal truth: the part of who they are that remains true underneath everything else.
I would describe the series being a supernatural action seinen with shonen-style fights, psychological and family drama, fashion-forward character designs and memorable characters and scenes.

I’m looking for
Strong black-and-white manga sequential art

Expressive character acting and faces

Clear, cinematic action and speed

Confident use of shadows, screentones,
backgrounds, and destruction

Comfort with right-to-left manga layouts

Someone interested in the story, not only isolated character illustrations

I’d like to begin with a paid two-page test: one dialogue/acting page and one action page. My planned budget is $150–$300 total for the test, depending on experience, detail, and what production tasks are included. If we work well together, the next stage would be an approximately 8–10-page pilot sample, with the possibility of continuing into a longer chapter
Please feel free to ask and contact me regarding anything

Semi-pro writer here looking for a talented artist for a passion project.

Next month is the 40th anniversary of Watchmen, and I’ve written a short (12 pages) script for a metatextual story that is essentially a Charlie Kaufman take on superheroes. My plan is to treat it as a bootleg comic, DIY-style, and share it with other people who’ve been inspired by Watchmen.

Ideally, the artist would be able to match Dave Gibbons’ style, but it’s not a dealbreaker for me.

This is a paid project!

Thanks!
