It isn't that easy for a new author to get published, but the rise of Kindle and the like are slowly changing that. Webcomics of course are webcomics - all you really need is a decent artist and the willingness to actually sit down and *write* your episodes. Getting to where you make money at either... that's another, ummm, story.

I meant no insult to Johnny's skills as a writer. The sections of live action alone prove he has enough talent to make it work. I am just so used to seeing game settings like Warhammer 40k being covered by dozens of different authors, some of them quite recognizable in their own right, that I automatically saw this one done the same way. If Johnny wants to actually write it all into novels himself, I say go for it!
