Constant Hustle Comics Mission Statement

constant hustle logoOur need at Constant Hustle Comics is to bring not only more heroes of color, gender and sexual orientation to the comic reading and future reading masses both in reality and hyper reality based comic lines.  But to bring them in a non-stereotypical manner that doesn’t further exploit or perpetuate any myths or stereotypes.

We believe that minorities of any type aren’t just built to be sidekicks or comic relief.  Not marginalized or minimized in any way.  We believe that today’s society shows us that multiple comic lines can be built around this very idea.  Just like there is more than one way to tell a story, there’s more than one type of hero to be in it.

Our vision on how to deliver this need is to become a collaborative “story first” type of comic studio that weaves inclusive stories that both pull from current events and some completely of our own design.  We will utilize the 22 rules of storytelling used by PIXAR as well as whatever tools we see fit.   We will have story meetings in which we will present story ideas from all in attendance and plan future editions of our particular lines.

We will approach the look of our books with a David Fincher type of attitude.   “My process is the process of limiting: it’s the blinder’s you put on. What I try to do is, instead of thinking of everything that I’m going to do, is trying to figure out the rules to determine the things that I’m not going to do, the things I’m not going to be able to do. You have to embrace your limitations, not only as an individual but also as your budget, what it can do.”  We will utilize all the space in a frame for the sole purpose of benefiting the moving of the story.

We believe if the audience is engaged intellectually and see something in our characters that they can relate to, then we have just built our fanbase by another reader. We have no issue in this because we want them all to be loyal readers and engaged fans. We know we can provide them the content they crave.

The infrastructure from which this will be brought to the masses is through the collaborative efforts of all team members and a grass roots approach to spreading the word on our need and vision for the future of comics.

This means we will bring our message to local and not so local comic cons and offer mini issues on free comics day or whatever venue and activity that proved us a stage to showcase our stories and lines.  Also we will approach local to the team comic stores to see if we can sell our comics at their stores.

We have writers, artists and editors as part of the team and are adding new members when we can as well as incorporating a plan to print our own books and promo material.  This will allow us to be nimble and effective in our ability to turn out a quality product with little need of outside assistance.

The more nimble and self-reliant we are.  The more effective we are.  The more stories we can tell.

 

 

 

 

The Last Line

the_last_line_cover

They chose to be more than family. They chose to be heroes.

Synopsis:

Our first comic book release, “The Last Line,” chronicles the story of the Sihls family and ultimately how they deal with the loss of their matriarch, Karla Sihls.

In the world of our comic, almost all of the super heroes and villains died in a planet wide battle called The Carnage. Since then, people called “power hunters” scour the world looking for technology, artifacts, or anything that will make them the next hero or villain. Carson Sihls, the patriarch of our family, believes the villain responsible for the death of his wife Karla still lives and wants the power to exact revenge. His children, Miles and Sydni, go with him out of the love and respect they have for him.

In becoming heroes, the family will learn a lot about themselves and each other.
