Read, Write Jeremy

TL;DR (Too Long; Don't Read AKA Summary): I decided to go the webcomic route as you have probably guessed from visiting halfwing.com . :D Details... Should I pitch another publisher? I initially just pitched  Image Comics , because I felt halfwing fit in well with their current material (which I really like).

I started thinking about what's next. By the way, if this has happened to you, let in all those sad feelings for a couple minutes (or days :D ) and then move on to what's next for your story. Overall, don't ge...
