About This Game

Become A Comic Publisher

Start your own comic book company. Create comics, hire people and expand your marketing.

Create Your Ideas


Core of Comic Company Manager is its Franchise system. You create new ideas by combining 3-6 tropes. After it has been created you can make comics, create merchandise and level it up.

Create Your Comics

Conquer the market with your comics. They can be based on your own ideas or you can buy or license franchises. Customize them by deciding if they should be colored or black and white, how many ads they have, what kind of paper they are printed on, how long they will run and how often they publish. There more ways to adjust them but the game also allows you to leave it up to the creators if you don't want to go that deep

Decorate Your Offices


To make comics your workers need work stations. To keep them happy you need to decorate the rooms too. Add some nice furniture so they can take a break. Paint the walls the colors you like

Manage Your Artists

Keep your workers happy or they will quit. Make sure they like their team-mates or the work will suffer. Your workers can fill roles like: Writer, Penciler, Inker, Colorist and Editor

It's a decent management game, but it seems to have gotten harder than when I first tried it. On the lowest difficulty setting, you cannot get off the ground with your own creations, you have to use franchises. It still needs a lot of polishing too, the most annoying bug is when you load a save, it re-sets the publishing/printing contract to the one you started with, so you gotta re-negotiate the contract (and pay a signing bonus) every time you start. It also crashes on me a lot. It didn't at first, but something is making it worse over time. I had it loaded on 3 different computers, and they all did the same thing... the longer the same game goes on, the more prone it is to crashing. Start a new game, and it works fine for a while. Which brings up another point, no cloud saves! Which means if you play the game on a different device, you have to start all over again. It could use some more features too, like a simple spreadsheet to show who's working on what. When you open an em...

I can not recommend this game for now. On the very beginning, you MUST create a comic after a comic. You usually don't have a time to make enough comics in time before you go bankrupt. Especially, when someone has only one hand :D That balance patch made it probably worse before it was. I don't want any money back as I trust this enough, that might be a great project, worth of waiting. Dev, if you need any help, reach out to me. //EDIT: It is getting better and better. Just few days after the sale and I feel like I am making the game! Great job DEV! Info for everyone else out there: I would recommend to buy this game as the Dev is working on it day by day. Your input will be most appreciate.as you will be heard out! Let's buy it, create a great community and support Dev! If players dies, the game as well. Don't be so wasteful! //UPDATE 2024 Unfortunatelly, there are no more updates form Dev since Sep23 and this is a dead project. It was a good try though.

At the time being you can only hire employees to "create comics," just to guess what the sliders mean from reviews trying to find a sweet spot. It works. It's just barebones. Edit: But lots of updates.

I bought this game partially because I want to see more from this dev, possibly a sequel of this game in the future— and partially because the game has a strong premise. It's a little rough around the edges (many bugs), a lot of the core systems are bare bones. However, it makes up for it with an abundance of systems. There is a strong foundation here, and I hope to this improved on, if there is any sequel.

I really like the idea and the logic of the game. It needs more refinement, but is a really good start. A 6.5 on 10 for now, but it definitely can improve a lot with only some small modifications.
