Please join me in welcoming our new members to the Concept to Comic™ Academy! @Chicho Fanzinus @Marcus Crespo @Percy Muhammad Welcome to the community! Please start a new thread introducing yourself if you haven't already. What project are you working on, and what would you like to learn from the Academy? (Note: The Academy is currently in Phase 1 of launch. @Mark Florio, Our educational director, is actively building out the courses that make up Phase 2, so your input is incredibly important!) If you haven't already, be sure to take full advantage of what the Academy has to offer by joining our LIVE 2-hour Q&A masterclass "Capital of Comics." Our next recording is TONIGHT! We're joined by a professional executive recruiter who will teach us everything there is to know about attracting high-quality talent. This information is VITAL for anyone looking to build a comic book production team. (The full 2-hour Masterclass and Q&A is exclusive to Premium Members. UPGRADE HERE so you don't miss out!)

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 Knippel 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 producer 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

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.

Upgrade your skills in three easy steps! 1 - Sign up for Premium Access to the Concept to Comic™ Academy 2 - DM me the message "I'm ready to grow!" 3 - I will send you an access code to order your book with a 100% discount (just pay shipping) 4 - Read the book and implement the strategies! I'm only giving away 25 copies, though...so don't delay! I'll include Alex's description of the book in the first comment.

I'm doing a special Christmas episode of Capital of Comics this Thursday, Christmas Day. If you're around, ALL members are welcome to join me for a special live reflection episode. I'll be talking about the past seven years of Metal Ninja Studios and answering any questions for the entire two-hour recording. This episode will be much less structured and more of a reflection of the past, present, and future. If you're looking for something to do, I'd love to see you there!
