Bad Egg Publishing’s Post

Is the next Marvel creator-led? This publishing company sold 100k copies of its debut comic—and is just getting started. In 2021, streamer Charlie “MoistCr1TiKaL” White created his first-ever graphic novel, titled 'GodSlap.' The idea was to start by building out the print product before branching into other mediums like an animated series. After early success, White teamed up with his merch partner Warren James and management MANA Talent Group to launch a joint venture, taking what he learned to other creators interested in publishing. And for the last 1.5 years, Bad Egg Publishing focused on developing a repeatable, flexible process that could adjust to creators' busy schedules—and leverage their expertise with selling direct to consumers online. “We're doing things differently than other common publishers because…we're not working with a traditional distributor, we're self-distributing,” Bad Egg's Director of Publishing Robert Meyers told me. Having proven product-market fit, Meyers said that they're set to announce more clients soon, plus expand distribution into more comic book shops and (eventually) big-box retailers like Target and Barnes & Noble. Are there any creators that you'd buy something in print from—or that you have already? Curious to hear in the comments below 👇🏻 #creators #creatoreconomy
