MAKIMONO COMICS - A New Comic Company

[AndyFish]

Hey Folks-
So I've been doing this now for about a year, and we're launching print books. We've got a line of comics that are (we hope) fun and sometimes funny-- if you found, for example, some of the things happening in the modern Batman comics a little ridiculous, you might get a laugh out of our team superhero book CINCO DE MAYHEM-- if you love pulps (like I do) you'll want to check out DOC SINISTER in the pages of THRILLING TALES. If you've got a young fan around and you want to laugh at an all ages story that is actually fun to read (and as parents and grandparents you know that reading Goodnight Moon for the 90th time is grueling) then check out ADAM BOMB JR & THE BOMBADEERS.

Best of all-- we've started a MEMBER area with two levels, Free gets you a lot of great content, and $5 a month gets you ALL OF OUR TITLES in 100 page digital formats. We've got secret codes, puzzles, riddles, trivia, movie serials, old time radio-- a WHOLE lot of fun. We are trying to bring back the days of Saturday afternoons walking down to your local newstand to grab a few comics with your friends before wandering into a local movie house-- fun lazy carefree times.

I'll give you updates here, because I know a lot of you have given up on comics. Printed books will be available through our online retailer partner as well as in stores all over the country. We are almost ready to launch MAKI-MOBILE which will make reading comics on your phone actually pleasant-- so if you're like me and you can't take the way comics load on your hand-held device we have a solution.

Thanks friends!

This is incredible news! It’s exactly what I and my friends have been saying we would like to see and internally begging to see a return to - for years!

I’m going to check out the content. I’m hoping to see comic books drawn the way they used to be: with that hand-drawn warmth that attracted us as kids. Don’t get me wrong, I know the modern comic book art shows a lot of talent, but they are cold. I can’t stand to read them as they are just not relatable. No one my age among my friends - or their kids - have any interest in the modern comic books.

So happy to see non-agenda driven comic books focused on storyline, again. Thank you! What a great use of your talent!

For whatever reason, my response posted twice. Probably because the appreciation is deserved twice. But I will edit it and add: I also like the logo. It reminds me of the old “Magazine Enterprises” comic book logo

Thank you! We are still building but we're just about to announce that you'll no longer need to download anything you buy (or get free as a monthly member)-- my goal to the IT guys was simple; if I'm shopping with my wife and I want to easily be able to read a comic book on my tablet or phone make it happen, and I think they delivered.

Try it out-- and if you're a Batman fan try the THRILLING COMICS title. You can read all four of these full titles for free.

Love the Tor Johnson homage in the Doc Sinister story.

Thanks again for sharing the good, clean fun and creativity generously.

[AndyFish]

Good catch-- (Vik)Tor Johnson with a british accent was my way of having some fun with it. There will be a lot of Easter Eggs in these for B-Movie and classic horror films.

Best of luck with the new endeavour, Sir! Sounds like it will be up a lot of people's alleys.

AND we're about to launch our characters as video game stars on Roblox too.

So sign up-- read some Free Comics-- American Eagle #4 (?) has a bit of an Adam West homage to it-- and Cinco De Mayhem is an outright parody of some of the silliness of modern comics. Help spread the word too- we need to grow that membership area.
