Max Hoven, author of It Eats What Feeds It with Boom Studios and his latest Liquid Kill with Massive Publishing. Max stopped by to share his latest venture, Socko Press, a new kind of publisher looking to help indie comic creators reach a broader audience while being profitable.

What is Socko Press? (“Socko” is slang for “extremely effective or impressive”) A small-press independent (creator-owned) comic, manga, & graphic novel publisher. What niche? Small (manga sized) books and creator-focused contracts. We’re focused on serving the creator rather than IP ownership.

We act as a “first-step” publisher, dedicated to leveling up the career of each author/creator and establishing a core audience for their IP. All physical units will be printed as English-language Japanese tankobon-sized (5 x 7.5) black & white comics and graphic novels (aka manga). If a comic series or book is created in color, these will only be available as exclusive digital comics, including digital collectibles via Web3 with apps such as dReaderapp.
