How to pitch your comic book

How to pitch your comic I finally have my first issue in hand. Now what? If you are going the traditional comic route, i.e., trying to get the comic picked up by a publisher, you pitch editors. There are a lot of publishers out there , and it is hard to know which to choose ( especially since not all will treat you or your work fairly ). Image gives the same deal to everyone (small or large) and has a good reputation, so I figured I would start there. I was also told it's better to target one or two publishers rather than shotgunning it . By the way, make sure your comic fits the publishers, i.e., it is similar in style/stories to other comics they publish. Otherwise, you are wasting your time.
