Slums of the Empire City Issue #4 - Gets release date

Finally the long wait is over Slums of the Empire City Issue 4 is ready to launch and we will see it hit digital shelves on Nov 30th.

This has been a long process to get here and we are really excited for you to pick up back in our 19th century NYC world. In this issue we venture back to July 4th 1869, just like in issue 1, but now we are seeing that fateful day play out from a different point of view. We think you’ll enjoy being along fo the ride with Dutch Herman as he tries to survive life in the mean streets.

We are launching as a Digital only as it is a seemless way to get it into the most hands, and we LOVE Global Comix. Eventually we hope to have a printed version on store shelves.

Here is the cover of issue #4, look for it on Globalcomix soon.

Sigil Digital adds comic book publishing

Sigil Digital is publishing comic books

Big round of applause for our launch title Slums of the Empire City. Slums is a Comic book series set in 1860’s New York and follows a plucky bunch of street criminals as they try to make it in the dog-eat-dog street of NYC. The first series will consist of 12 issues, with the first three issues already complete.

Sigil Digital is publishing this flagship initial comic book with the help of Kickstarter campaign.

“We’ve found the comic book industry (readers especially) flock to the crowd funding sites as they have found this the best place to pick up new and groundbreaking comic books. We LOVE the Creator-to-Reader pipeline as it creates a relationship that puts creators much closer to the fans and allows for a community feel around their stories.

After the Kickstarter run Sigil will publish titles through Digital means, foregoing the traditional paper distribution entirely. Although we will focus mostly on Digital, there are some opportunities to get your hands on paper copies of the comics. The first print run of the initial three comics will be available to Kickstarter backers who pledge at the higher tiers, and after the Kickstarter readers may order prints through a Print on demand service.

Sigil is already in talks for the it’s second Comic series, what is being called a “Noir Gothic Steampunk Western” which may be available in the new year. Sigil will continue the run of SLUMS with the success of the crowdfunding campaign.
