About Riotgear Comics: VISION
Our Distribution
Riotgear comics will launch as an independent comic book publisher who's primary
audience will be Christian comic book fans accessible from the internet.
However, we will explore distribution, with the goals of A) getting nation-wide
distribution in comic book shops by Diamond Distributing, and B) getting nation-wide
distribution in Christian book stores by Family Christian Bookstores.
Riotgear comics will pursue advertising in HM magazine, RELEVANT magazine,
and Wizard magazine as funds allow, as well as advertising in distributor's
catalogs.
Our Art
We will work first towards building a library of self-contained work that
can be published as graphic novels. We will introduce these books in multiple
24-32 page comic books then publish them as a complete work when finished.
Eventually, when our resources are high enough, we will look into monthly
periodical publishing of stories that have no defined ending.
We will explore a variety of genres and art styles, with a particular focus
on manga's increasing popularity as a medium. We will avoid the superhero
genre until we have the talent to both compete with the large companies
that produce this material, and do so in a way that is more meaningful
than escapist fiction.
We will actively decide to portray the female body in a way that does not
objectify it. We will actively decide to portray the female body in a way
that is encouraging to female readers.
Our Artists
Riotgear comics will actively seek to work with Christian artists and writers,
and will also actively seek to work with non-Christian artists and writers.
Our Audience
We will aim for 25% of our work to be intended for a non-Christian
audience, 25% for a primarily Christian audience, and half of our work to be
deeply meaningful to both groups.
We will work to engage non-typical comic book audiences. First and foremost
we will work to invite girls and young women to read our work. Secondly we
will work to target a broader and older audience with what we put out. However,
we will make sure to take care of the adolescent male population that makes
producing comic books possible, and not alienate them in this process.
