February Capital of Comics Schedule!
Hey Everyone! I'm excited to announce the February schedule for our Capital of Comics Masterclass recordings! We're going to be joined by the following professionals: February 5 - Executive Recruiter Kip Knipple will talk about the skills in recruiting at the highest levels. This lesson is invaluable for the aspiring creator looking to build their first team! February 12 - Prolific writer and Publisher David A. Byrne (of Metal Ninja Studios and Amp Comics) will talk about the mentality of success, and how "Whatever Is Necessary" became his business name and mantra. February 19 - Capital of Comics video editor Erik Laidroo is joining us to talk about how he grew Blurock Media, his video production company, to service some of the biggest corporations, all as a one-man show. February 26 - Laurie Foster, of Laguna Studios, is going to talk about building a company that caters to the full life-cycle of Kickstarter projects - from page to fulfillment. Premium Members can join every live masterclass and ask questions! Can't attend live? No worries! We will make a post in the Capital of Comics Category each week, prior to recording, requesting questions. All members can ask questions, and Premium Members can watch the Archived episode for the answers the next day! Join Premium here: https://skool.com/metalninjastudios/plans

February Capital of Comics Schedule!
Questions/Discussions on Comics Book Operations
So, I have finished my first comic book script and was curious about next steps. Starting a comic company and writing comics is all still new to me, so any guidance & leadership is welcomed. Currently, I am working on a new comic hero named Bishop. The series may be a 5-part (depending on how the writing goes. It's all a work in progress, so I'm taking my time with the steps to get the comic to print. But, I'm totally stoked about it! Thanks in advance and welcome...to the Wonaverse!

@Steven Glover Kickstarter is a great resource! Be sure to check out a couple of upcoming Capital of Comics episodes for insight on that. Mainly Travis Gibb and Laurie Foster. Both have built expansive careers with Kickstarter.

@Steven Glover Talk about what you're doing. One of the best pieces of advice I ever received about content was "Document, don't create." If the goal is to create your story, use your Youtube to document the process. It not only invites your audience to join you, but it also builds hype because they'll be excited to see the thing they've been following come to fruition.
Capital of Comics Updated!
Hey Everyone! This has been a super busy weekend! The Metal Ninja Studios team was in New Orleans for Fan Expo New Orleans over the weekend. We had the honor of presenting a panel called How to Make a Comic: The Questions You Didn't Know to Ask. It was a lot of fun, and the audience asked some great questions! Now that I'm back home and able to catch up, I've uploaded the most recent episodes of Capital of Comics! Episode 007 - Expansive Education with Steve Colle is now available in the Masterclass Archive for Premium Members. Episode 006 - Fandom: The Superpower with Michael Zapcic is also available in the Standard Access Archive for all members.

@Aisha Panjwaneey No worries! I will be uploading the Archive episode on Sunday so you can watch the whole episode. I normally upload them on Fridays, but I'm at a convention this weekend and the internet isn't cooperating.
