Go, Look: Jim Zub Updates His Creator-Owned Economics Model

It's here. What's changed for the writer Jim Zub over the last few years is an increase in his creative profile and a better performance by his publisher, Image Comics, more generally in terms of how books that aren't runaway successes might perform in the Direct Market. Because Image is set up as a one-time fee program that doesn't change if you sell more books, any boost to your bottom line accelerates as your sales increase. You also benefit if you can expect a certain level of sales from your book or books and can thus print ahead of demand rather than suffer through multiple printings. Very worthwhile reading.
