Not to me!

Wednesday:comic books::Tuesday:DVDs

Get it?

Wednesday is when the new comics come out every week. Kinda like Tuesday is new release day for CDs and DVDs, and Friday is for those things that I used to pay too much money to go see, with the loud people and the crappy advertisements and inferior sound and, hey - did I mention that I love my Axioms?!

Keep 'em coming. Uninvisible Ink is great!



Uninvisible Ink is terrific. (But, if you incorporate, would you then be "Uninvisible Ink, Inc."? )

Would "Visible Ink," be a wiser choice? Though not as clever, it would be a bit shorter, perhaps be a little less confusing thus easier to remember, and still make the point. In business, "simple" is good.

Short? How about: " Art:Ink "


And I don't care what you said earlier. I want speakers!

Many of you may know that I'm a collector of comic book original art. Well, I've had the notion of starting an artists rep business in this field for awhile, and I think I'm finally going to give it a go.

I need a name. I'd always wanted a comic business named "The Funny Farm", but alas, just about every iteration of that is taken on the web. I thought of "Wednesday's Heroes"...though that may be too obscure. I figured you guys came up with some great stuff for Axiom, I'd pick your brains as well.

The only prize I can offer is my gratitude. Sorry...no free speakers here.




Unbreakable Comics

Ties into a great movie by M. Night about comics.

I recently have gotten into the World of Warcraft collectible card game (I play the online game too). Most of the art has been done by people in the business (ie Todd McFarlane) and I have to say the artwork on those cards is partly why I enjoy playing it so much. My wife doesn't know it yet (she plays too) but her bday present is going to be 2 art sets that upperdeck is releasing based on that game.

Whatever name you choose, I wish you the best of luck in finding new talent. I for one can do math, read at great speeds and troubleshoot anything mechanical or electrical with ease....but have NEVER been able to draw. I respect those who can.

Hi Spiffy

I like what you came up with.

"Wednesday's Heroes" might be obscure to someone like me; but to anyone in the business it makes a lot of sense.

I think it's very complimentary to your target market and would be a good selling point for your venture.

Go with it!

Good luck with this, it sounds like a perfect mix of fun and businsess.

I though about Visible Ink, too, but there's already a business with that name, and the website even has a comic book on the front page.

Well they've got a lot of nerve, stealing my idea. Sheesh!

Going along (again) with Jack's idea, what about just "Ink, Inc."?
