Lucidiant: Phyder Island (Graphic Novel)

Lucidant: Phyder Island is a digital graphic novel. It is definitely an exciting time to be working with comic book brands in the media.

It’s a fantastic graphic novel to keep the readers and fans in the work of nightmares and the dream world. CGI will be too expensive to jump to the dream world. A perfect medium will be animation in pages.

Target Market
40% of graphic novel and comics readers are between the ages of 18 and 25. Facebook universe of self-identified comic fans grew to a new high of over 24 million fans in the United States. Of that 24 million, women account for 46.67% of that population. Since I’ve been tracking these stats, that’s the highest percentage of women recorded. With some changes on Facebook’s end, I can now see what terms have grown from the previous month, and in this case it wasn’t any single term, it was many of the over 100 used to compile the statistics.

Media Habits: Currently the comic book industry is going through a time of transition. There have been periods of high demand and valleys of low interest in the last thirty years. The industry is trying to keep up with an everchanging world that is evolving into a digital driven machine.

Like newspapers, comic books are trying to find their place with the next generation of consumers who are mainly now online. The new age of collecting is also very exciting to newbie collectors because it offers a wide variety in topics. There are so many different topics and genres covered today and comics are much more easily accessible. In addition, comic book collecting has become more accepted as a “cool” hobby and not so much shunned as a “nerdy pastime.” This transition in acceptance is greatly to attribute to box-office hits in the last ten years. Movies like Thor, Spider-Man and Batman have all made superheros cool again. The Modern Age of collecting has really been an age of digitalizing comic books and making them more mainstream for consumers of all types.
