dolari1) Gather several webcomic artists.
2) Create a Comico Primer-ish book where four artists get six pages to do whatever they want. The only caveat being it can't be given away for free on their websites.
3) Print comics on demand, or in small batches for sale over the internet, local comic shops and expos.
4) Repeat quarterly, cycling talent and stories.
5) ...?
6) Profit!
7) PRofits from each book are shared among the creators of the book, with 10% going back into the company.
8) In time, the more...er...reliable...artists get a quarterly book of their own, giving up their spots in the primer book to new talent (new talent being already firmly established webcomic artists, with histories of reliable deadline meeting thingies). Thus, we expand our titles.
We have the artists, we have the audience. Think it can be done?
Discuss.
