Review Overview

For years, the comic book industry has faced challenges and obstacles that have led many to believe that it is on the verge of dying. However, despite these hardships, comics continue to thrive and evolve. Comics Are Dying: The Comic – a satirical graphic novel that delves into the history of comic books in a unique and entertaining way created by Louis Southard and over 100 artists!

Comics Are Dying: The Comic is a grand collaboration between Louis Southard (Midnight Western Theater) and over 100 artists who have contributed their talents to tell the story of comics throughout history. This innovative format not only showcases the diverse styles of each artist but also highlights the evolution of comic book storytelling over time. From classic superhero illustrations to avant-garde graphic designs, this graphic novel offers a visual feast for readers of all ages.

What sets Comics Are Dying: The Comic apart from other comic book projects is its unique storytelling approach. Rather than focusing on a single narrative or character, this graphic novel presents a comprehensive overview of the comic book industry from its inception to the present day. By weaving together historical facts with humor and satire, Louis Southard provides readers with an engaging and informative journey through the world of comics.

Comics Are Dying: The Comic has an impressive lineup of artists. From established names in the industry to up-and-coming talent, this project brings together a amazing group of creators who each bring their own style and vision to the table. Readers can expect to see familiar faces like Mark Waid, who has provided a foreword for the book, as well as new voices that are making their mark in the world of comics.

The project is being brought to life by crowdfunding through Zoop – a cutting-edge platform that aims to revolutionize comic book crowdfunding. By supporting this project, readers not only get access to exclusive perks and rewards but also contribute to the future of independent comic creators. With Zoop’s user-friendly interface and transparent funding model, backing Comics Are Dying: The Comic has never been easier or more rewarding.

Comics Are Dying: The Comic is more than just a celebration of comic book history – it is a testament to the enduring legacy of comics as an art form. Through its innovative storytelling, stunning artwork, and diverse lineup of artists, this graphic novel offers readers a fresh perspective on the medium we love.

Please consider helping bring this project to life by backing Comics Are Dying: The Comic on Zoop today! The campaign runs through May 3, 2024.

Want to learn more about the campaign and the book itself? Creator Louis Southard joins the Capes and Tights Podcast for Episode 160 on April 17.
