Ideal Comics
Everything Great About Comics
If you're new around these parts...

I noticed that some of the ads we've been placing recently have pulled a few people in. With that, I'd like to talk a bit about who we are and what we do.
We are Ideal Comics and we make comic books. We write stories that take place within a universe of our creation.
A few things to see:
Forces of Good and Evil - It's our flagship webcomic. It's up for free on the internet.
Our Titles page, where we talk about our current projects. You can also see a preview of our first print project, Zing Comics #1, an anthology containing six stories, from within the IC universe.
You can also check out our Shortbox, which contains quite a few short stories, we've put up to bridge the gap between many of our print stories. Sometimes, we use this section to refine some of our skills, as well as the skills of our artists. Usually, you won't find an artist in our print books, who haven't originally had a title on our Shortbox. (There are certainly exceptions to this, but most of these exceptions are artists we've worked with in the past.)
Overall, we have a ton to look at and we encourage everyone who makes it this far to dive a little bit deeper to find out what we're all about. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Shortbox stuff...

Hey all. Chris here with an update on the Shortbox.
For those of you who don't know, the Shortbox is a section of the site where we put little, 6-8 page stories, in between publication. These are all part of the IC universe and 100-percent canon.
As some of you may remember, we originally had the Shortbox on comicgenesis.com. In the great server move of 2007, we decided to move the SB over to our servers, much like Forces. While we call it it the great server move of 2007, we didn't actually finish it until 2008.
Which is completely my fault. Rufio kept asking me for the files and I kept procrastinating. However, today, I can announce that the new page is complete and ready for you to browse.
Go here and enjoy.

Big things are on the horizon...

Howdy. First things first... I'd like to thank Coffee, Books and More in Alliance, Nebraska for buying a few copies of Zing Comics #1 to put on the shelves. The goal is to get this comic into as many hands as possible and we are on our way to that goal.
Another thing... We are getting ready to start a new sales drive to get the book in as many local comic shops as we can. We are going to start sending letters and order forms to random shops around the country asking for their support. We're going to be offering copies of Zing #1 at a discounted price to provide more of a profit. We are also going to offer free shipping on these books to any shop that orders.
Here's where we need help. If you're reading this and you own a comic shop or you want to see Zing in your favorite comic shop, let us know. We'll be sure to add you to the list, when we start sending the letters out.
To tell you the truth, Zing Comics #1 was never about us making money. That's why we priced it so low. With future books, it would be nice to make a few bucks, but with this first one, the goal was to get our name out there and let people know who we are and what we do. We like to write comics and we think we write them well.
But, above that, we have a group of artists that poured their heart and soul into this book and we want to be sure they get something for it. They all agreed to work on backend pay and we want to show them how much we appreciate it.
