Sorry about that folks! Yeah, it almost happened to me a few times last year. I kept using different cards due to my constant balance fluctuation.

I get billed every 6 months for my site and I'm up next month (and my card info has changed in the past few months) Autonymous RexMon, 14 May 2012 12:11:06 UTC http://b1narcomicunderworld.runboard.com/p10751,from=rss#post10751Hey guys, I'm sure you've noticed all the graphics were removed from this site and the main website is down as well. That is completely my fault as I forgot to update my credit card info which pays off the monthly service fees on my server provider. Everything should be back to normal either tonight or tomorrow. Sorry for the inconvenience! lol -Nar!Nar ComicsMon, 14 May 2012 08:52:31 UTC http://b1narcomicunderworld.runboard.com/p10750,from=rss#post10750Great to have you here! And a writer too, that's great!

There has never been a lower point in the history of sequential illustration other than when Charles F. Murphy went after comics in 1954 and the comics code was started. But, up until then, artist were bailing left and right as they did could not get paid, sales were down and they were being labeled as destroyers of the morale fabric of America.     The problem is, at least in the U.S. the medium has been milked, strip mined and thusly left to the ides of dabblers and the unprofessional masses. This is in direct correlation to the invent of mass media, social networking and the ability of anyone to make a logo, a FB page and moniker themselves, "Dopeshow Comics" and BooooM, they are publisher. This has harmed the business a great deal. If you look, most of the original rebel artists. I.e Image and so on, the have retreated back into the shelter of large serious publishers.  This has bred an unprofessional "me me" mentality, so if you are going to make it, you have to keep that enthusiasm, and basically be a one man band. No one wants to work with anyone else, they just want the accolades of being in the business. I think we are on an upward trend. I think if people do keep a positive outlook, and make their own opportunities , good things can happen. It is a much less exciting, social and rewarding venture at this point. So the term in or out was very appropriate. I think that other countries have a much better grasp of the medium. Places like Brazil, Spain, The Philippines, and Japan are all on the cutting edge of things. Studios , titles, and companies are flourishing. But, we have been this far down before I suspect a great rebound. So, if you love it, hang tough! It can and will get better!

I think I am not suitable to talk about this subject because I am not in this industry and probably will never be, but I am in the industry of "making goals and dreams come true" First of all, why I am writing this - I am back from Japan few days ago and when you talk about comic industry Japan is something to talk about too, well I want to say that Japan is the greatest place in the world, I do like traveling and I did visit some interesting countries but Japan is something very different, Japan is another planet, a planet where the rules are completely opposite to everything westsideoftheworld person ever experienced! I made a 22 days route from Hiroshima to Tokyo (Osaka, Kyoto, Nara, Kobe) and I don't know what to say except that I HAVE to go back, I am already working on my moving there, it's a long and hard process but I will make that dream come true sooner or later! I am still under impression and can't get back to this life lol!! Hope to share some pics with you soon as I organize them somehow haha, till then peeps...Gundam is back to Odaiba you know that 40% of paper industry in Japan belongs to manga industry?? heh so believe in the industry guys!!!! see you soon! ideeSun, 13 May 2012 04:33:20 UTC http://b1narcomicunderworld.runboard.com/p10744,from=rss#post10744Hi, guys.
