I want to work in comics so bad but it seems to be so tough to either get noticed or to be good enough for Marvel to want your art. I won't stop trying but it gets frustrating. Thanks for this video!

Wolverine babysitting the mutant equivalent of Jack Jack from the Incredibles.

Rare that Marvel publishes first time comic writers.......10 years later, every minority writer is a first time comic writer.

its so hard to get into marvel but i have realised what they need is something new

That was the best advice I have been able to find on the net. Thanks, guys.

Back in the day when I worked as a assistant with one Marvel and DC inker they brought on a new penciler for the Marvel book we worked on. A friend of another Marvel artist at the time who recommended him. The editor gave him the book based on a couple of page samples. The guy sucked and couldn't handle a monthly book. I ended up redrawing the guys pencils and doing the full inks on the book. The inker I worked with at the time couldn't be bothered with the crap work.

I will be working hard of creating my own marvel character. I hope they will like it

I think its time for me to pitch my new characters to Marvel, lets see if I get lucky ?!

love the part that he say "expose your talent and be discovers......."

Thanks for the video Chronic, it was really helpful. Some of the things he said I heard before but that only re-assures me.

Great video guys, I’m a comic writer and fellow KZfaqr and I found this video very helpful! Keep up the good work!!!

I do freelance Marvel character packaging art for a outside design studio. How did I get the work? I got recommended to the art director by a friend working there.

Confirmed: CB and Alex no longer accept submissions for new writing talent

wow i was struggling in finding a good way to get in the door for marvel, this is what i need , thank you ;D

This is EXTREMELY helpful! Thank you for posting!

I have a lot of ideas for original heroes, I wonder what the guys at bigger comic companies like Marvel/DC/Dark Horse think about releasing volumes of unknown, new heroes...

Is there any way I can write my own stories and comics along with them in this industry?

Its who you know inside who'll recommend you like in any other industry.

thank you! it's so hard to get a straight answer from people that are already establish in the industry. i'll be preparing work to send out soon ;)

I now have a agent who reps me. Keep practicing and learning and don't limit your skills as just a penciler for example.

thnx man i really needed that

Thanks for the advice

I will be in marvel someday because what he said is what I do for living

As a writer, I find this advice a little frustrating He says send your work in but they say on their website that they dont accept any unsolicited submissions. So whats the deal? I have a ton of ideas that I have yet to find in the comics - not saying they're not there, I just havent found them - that I think would be awesome to see happen.

thank you

sounds like it's tougher for writers than for artists...a LOT tougher.

Saw a Kubert name listed up at DC as a editor or something. Gee, how'd she get her salary staff job with benefits? The DC talent search? Please.

Anyone know if the email he provided is still a valid email address for art submissions?

I already created a character based on bird and it came out well so, whats left is that only How to Send It to Marvel Comics in India

Well, he said if you previously were published by Image Comics? What we´re seeing lately, Marvel artists moving to Image comics, right?

@BLACKMAFIA410 College can't teach you creativity but it can allow you a space to work on your stuff and introduce you to the people who you can network with who will later break into certain scenes. But with the amount of debt you are likely to get into its sort of six one half dozen for the other. If you can afford it I would do it. If not don't worry so much.

Any college that will teach you literature and journalism. Literature will teach you to analyze stories break it down to its essence themes, plots, symbolism, things you will need to know to be an effective writer. Journalism will improve your grammar to Grammar nazi level and its also a good dayjob while waiting for your chance.

I wonder if it still the same

@hotjavon o.k thanks.

This video is awesome. It might be the answer to all my questions!

Hey is there a job where I can create a superhero and a whole story but I can't draw or I can make stories with other heroes

ever scince i was 5 (I'm 14 now) i always wanted to become a comic writer where's gthe best college i can go to? (I'm in 9th grade)

Wolverine in Iraq

This is very helpful.

Does this offer still stand? it's like 2015 and I'm turning 16 in April so by 2017 I'll be legally old enough to actually draw for Marvel (If I'm good), I pray the offer will be available by then

Wolverine in the apocalypse

It's total BS(as in unfair, not lies) that the chances of new talent getting a gig w/DC or Marvel nowadays is close to impossible. For one, I venture to say a lot of current writers@ the Big Two don't give a fig for the traditions/history of the characters - hence why they gleefully go along w/whatever BS retcons to canon that editorial comes up with. Meanwhile there are fledgling/undiscovered writers out there(such as moi😏) who've grown up w/these universes & the characters/canon etc. that populates them. Don't they/we deserve a chance? We can't all get their attention by first writing a New York Times-bestselling YA novel series, nor should we have to. What sucks most of all is that legally, you're not allowed to submit them unsolicited story samples/pitches featuring THEIR OWN I.P. - now in what other line of work would that make sense, exactly? As much as I am loyal to the Big Two(I've never been an indie guy, one or two exceptions aside), someone should have the balls to take them to court and force them to rescind the aforementioned clause, because it's a literal crock of sh1t IMHO.

definately no no especially to marve is hot big booty type comic characters, this generation we dont need that, all that r18 stuff. :P otherwise Brian is such a amazing marvel comic artist and writer

@BLACKMAFIA410 I don't think college can help, college can't teach creativity. Just get all your grammar stuff down.

The best way to get into comics these days, whether it's Marvel or DC, is be anything but "white" or "Asian," be trans, homosexual, hardcore far left Marxist feminist. Being a woman will also score you huge brownie points, especially if you are even a tiny bit on the cute looking side. Go to a convention where you know big Marvel and/or DC wigs are, and spout off about how much you despise straight, white, heterosexual, right wing, nazi, bigoted men and how much you hate Christians and the United States of America. Use lots and lots and lots of words and phrases like "white privilege," "problematic," "systematic oppression," "Communism," "Socialism," "Hilary Clinton," "Hetero-normality," "Sexist," "Chauvinistic," and "Bernie Sanders." If the professional doesn't respond to your conversation about any of these things, simply start crying as hard as you possibly can. Rip and tear at your own face until there is blood. Drop to your knees, spread out your arms, and as loudly as you can possibly muster (don't worry if it hurts or permanently ruins your voice) scream about how much you hate Donald Trump. Unless the comic book pro is Ethan Van Sciver, I promise you that the pro will immediately run to your side, embrace you while crying as well, and offer you the best job possible. It won't matter if you can't stand comic book super heroes and have never read, written, or given two shits about comics in your entire life...doing or being any of the above is guaranteed to get you a job. You might not get the absolute best top selling titles, but give it a month or two and you will soon land books like Spider-man, Black Panther, Captain America (if you spouted off about hating the United States, you probably won't have to wait...they'll put you on Captain America almost immediately), Avengers, and Thor. The best folks to do all this in front of are Dan Slott, Tom Breevoort, Ta-Nehisi Coates, Joe Quesada, and Kurt Busiek. No matter how much or how little talent you have, the bigger the far leftist victim you can make yourself, the more likely you will be to get a job.

If you want to work at Marvel Comics, all you need to do is create a fake identity and pretend to be Japanese and lie about it for years. You could be Editor in Chief one day. You could also claim to be trans.
