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.
