Here's a list of Comics Self-Publishing Players of the 2000s and Online...
My YouTube page gets more views than that place.
Smack Jeeves --
Don't know, never used it. Probably not much better than WCN overall.
DeviantART --
Good. If you like having your property stolen, and getting RIPPED OFF.
Graphicly --
"No refunds". It costs $150 just to make your book widely available
Lulu --
Kind of shoddy in the formatting department. BUT actually one of the best choices on this list if you're just publishing for yourself and people you know. I will admit though. Create Space aside, I consider this one to be the "old reliable" of the bunch. I've published over 5 books with them. Actually, WELL over 5. I lost count. Figuring out how to format PDF Files to the upload page can be frustrating and challenging, but the final result (a printed book or comic in your hands) is well worth the effort. It's important to measure the proportions of the books you already own with a ruler to get a sense of just how big your book will be and look when it's printed up and mailed off to you....I've made some sizing errors in the past with them (or they did, not sure), and the books that got mailed to me ended up being a bit too big. That is why you have to measure the proportions and get a visual on your book BEFORE you print and order it. Good to know.
ComiXpress -- MIA
They went out of business. PLEASE NOTE, FOR THOSE LOOKING FOR A COMIXPRESS "SUBSTITUTE - REPLACEMENT", I recently found KA-BLAM, which is actually pretty decent in terms of customer service. Still waiting to review their print quality....
ComiXology --
No publishing department. Just comics online retail. Kind of sucks. Selection of comics is okay, but it's HARDLY democratic.
CreateSpace --
This is probably the best choice outside of Lulu. Since it's Amazon backing it, at least they KIND of know what they're doing.
