This is a magazine in which for the last 20 years I had hoped would have already come into existence. Manga Big Bang! is a monthly comic magazine which taps into a new segment of the comic book industry in the UK that targets general audiences.
Although comic books have already existed in our world, Manga Big Bang! will tap into a new segment of the comic book industry that has never before been touched in the UK. This specialized type of comic book includes unique styles of artwork (sourced from Japan), intriguing story lines, a user-friendly format that targets all general audiences (not just a specific sub-group as in other publications). It is, quite simply, the comic book for everyone. Manga Big Bang! will allow English-speaking creators to have the same advantages as their counterparts in Japan to turn them into publishing phenomena. Presently, there is no predominant market for Manga Style comic books in the UK. Most large Manga publishers in Japan are currently concentrating on expanding to China and South-East Asia. Although that market is in our long-term goal, we are inclined to start in the UK for its long tradition of good storytelling and appreciation for IP products.
EACH MONTHLY MAGAZINE SUBSCRIPTION WILL FEATURE NEW CHAPTERS OF DIFFERENT STORY LINES (SERIES). THE SERIES THAT RUNS TO ITS FULL COMPLETION WILL BE EDITED AND PACKAGED INTO SEPARATE VOLUMES. THE MAGAZINE ACTS AS A SAMPLE TO THE SERIES, A STRATEGY THAT HASN'T BEEN DONE BY MAJOR UK COMIC BOOK PUBLISHERS. WE DIFFER FROM OUR COMPETITORS BY PAYING SPECIAL DETAIL TO DIVERSIFYING CONTENT, INTUITIVE READING EXPERIENCES, A READER-FRIENDLY MEDIUM FOR FIRST TIMERS. THE PROTOTYPE WILL BE READY IN AUGUST 2015 AND THE MAGAZINE WILL BE LAUNCHED IN DECEMBER 2015. THE CREDIBILITY OF WINNING THIS COMPETITION WILL ENABLE US TO MAKE A BETTER PITCH FOR BIGGER INVESTMENTS AND MORE OVER MENTORING AND SUPPORT FROM VIRGIN GROUP AND ACCELERATOR program WILL TREMENDOUSLY HELP US SHORTEN THE LEARNING CURVE, IN PARTICULAR ON DISTRIBUTION AND MULTI-MEDIA EXPANSION OF OUR FRANCHISES SUCH AS FILM ADAPTATIONS AND MORE. LET'S MAKE THIS HAPPEN. VOTE FOR US.
