Platforms like #Webtoon and #Tapas are already known for becoming overly-corporatized, having poor pay & working conditions for creators, and using AI where it doesn't belong.

Welcome to the club, #GlobalComix!

We're feeling more and more confident about launching #ComixCleric every day. :)

Did I make my own level editor? You bet! It's a lot more complete since the Frogun days, too!

Speaking of the classic musical comics, what about a little WIP preview of the built-in audio player for "How the King Stole Christmas"?

Being able to include audio alongside a comic can elevate the experience, and we're excited to offer it.
This is still in development, and may change!

We've been doing a lot of work behind the scenes to help get BitF back online and using a platform dedicated to both readers and creators! I want to thank them for being so gracious and patient with us during this! Development takes a lot of time and effort, and I'm glad just to help any way I can!
We're pleased to announce an exciting partnership! 11 Years after its final update, we're happy to announce that the legendary webcomic "Brawl in the Family" will be released from the archive. Soon over 600 comics, including the classic musical comics, will return using Comix Cleric!

Keeping a steady schedule is a big part of being any type of content creator, but especially for #webcomics! It may be an obvious addition, but being able to set a release date is an important feature for Comix Cleric!

As far as "Comment/Favorite" systems are concerned, we have plans for them, but they might not be available on initial release.

We definitely love fan engagement, but setting up a user account system for readers is a bit tricky! Once we figure things out, we'll be sure to add it in.
Do you plan to have a react feature that allows visitors to like pages or comments?

Important that not all comics are in English!

There are plans for having a toggle that you can use to switch between multiple versions of a comic page, whether it's multiple languages, different perspectives, etc.
Also, is multilingual comics could be a thing? I have a French and English version.

We haven't considered bulk updates, since some comic updates (especially Webtoon-formatted ones) can be built up using multiple files. We'll look into it though!

However, you CAN bulk-UPLOAD all your files into CC, and retroactively date them to their proper release dates.
I do! Will we be able to upload several pages at once and gave each a different publishing date? I have a fik8shed 360+ pages webcomic and I don't want to upload them one by one ^^;
