I've been saving up money to work on some self-published comics.

My earlier plan was to pay an artist, and print a full run of a graphic novel.

Then I realized that for the same price, I could serialize more than one story online, so maybe I should start with that.

Substack seems promising, although there may be some questions about whether it's going to last. There do seem to be a few other platforms where I could publish a story online in 4-10 issue increments.

For anyone who has looked into self-publishing, or done it in the past, does this make sense?

At this point, my main goal would be getting my work out there and developing a name for myself.
