Damn Heroes

One of the things you often hear about in web comics is the buffer; a collection of strips that are scheduled for the future, so that you don’t need to feel rushed to produce on schedule.

It’s probably not the first thing you think about when you’re thinking about your web comic, but it’s something to keep in mind when you’re looking to launch.

Since we launched this site around the time of NYCC, we were scrambling to get some strips ready for the con.  We launched with five strips ready to go, and that gave me some time to catch up while Mark got The Ascendant and The Horsemen ready to print.

So why mention this?

Well, I guess first off, to start the conversation with a pro-tip for any aspiring creators, but also as a way of hinting at some goodies to come.

As I build up my buffer, I’m hoping it’ll give me some more time to color in these strips, something I know we’ve all been wanting to see.  It also gives me some breathing room to try new things, and I hope you’ll enjoy them.
