நண்பரே,

நம்முடைய காமிக்ஸில் ஒரு அடிப்படை குறைப்பாடு என்னவென்றால், நம் புராணங்களை சற்று ஓவர்டோஸாக கலந்து விடுவதுதான். நீங்கள் குறிப்பிட்டிருக்கும் காமிக்ஸை இன்னும் வாசிக்கவில்லை.

புராணங்களின் பின்ணணியில் நல்ல கதையுடன் நிச்சயமாக உலகத்தரத்திற்கு நம்மால் காமிக்ஸை படைக்க முடியும்.

சற்று மெனக்கெட்டிருந்தால் Fire Finger CID உலக அளவில் புகழ் பெற்றிருப்பார். என்ன செய்வது?

நல்ல பதிவு, பாராட்டுகள்.

Also these Vimanika guys are strange. They get suckers (read scriptwriters and artists) to send in sample works, steal ideas and then cleverly adopt these as their own. :)

So be warned, all you guys out there. because their policy is Bhejo free, lelenge FREE.:)

@ Archana: The Best person to answer on the US availability would be Karan Vir of Vimanika, himself.

You can write to him @ karavir AT gmail DOT com. He actively responds to queries on the issues availability.

Anony: I meant myself, when I referred as 3rd Party. I have heard the allegations, from others, and in some forums too. But, since I was never involved or been in touch with anyone who shared the feeling personally, I couldn't comment on the same. But, I agree there won't be a smoke, without some fire. So, I will leave it to the readers to decide.

At the same time, I don't agree with you calling the readers as what you named. If they like the comics, they buy it. We don't need to judge them, neither we are asked to. Let's give them some respect, for their decisions.

rafiq: The alegation abt miuse is firsthand as a couple of my frijneds haqd responded earlier to the advts seeking 'creative teams'. They sent in stuff and had them rejected, only to see similar stuff coming out of the woodwork (read: K Vir studio)
Seems the big shots with money can get away with anything. well, thats the way of the world, (despite the high morals that thses guys preach). as long as there are stupids who dont mind spending money on rubbish, guys like these will prosper. AMEN!

2009-03-22T10:31:00.000+05:30

Anony: I can see that there is some truth behind your messages. For instance, I was really irritated to see that there are still some spelling mistakes in the second edition of vimanika. The guys are indeed doing so much effort to release there issues, and with that amount of time, they should really have looked into keeping it error free. Seeing them on Credits Page, and Vimanikopedia sections were very really bad, to say the least. I had expressed my reservations on the same topic in this very post, and I guess they have improved only marginally in the next set.

On the other side, I did hear earlier about the allegation that vimanika has been using or misused other creators content, without proper credits. As much as I despise it, without proper proof of the same, and also because the Third Party point of view, It would be rude for me to comment. So, I will leave it to the Comicologists to make a call, with their conscious.

Vimanika is still a long way to establish themselves as good players in Comics Biz. They have a lot of blemishes still in their armory, like prolonged delay in releases, spelling and grammatical mistakes, unattractive subscription plans. Hopefully, they keep sorting themselves better and better with their next sets, and do it faster, as I believe they will be judged by what they delivered, then what they promised.

Guys, has anyone taken the trouble to actually read this stuff, esp. The Sixth? I found apalling typos (yes, even in the credits) which is really unpardonbale.

Forgive them (K Vir and Co.) O Stan Lee, for they do not know...:)

The real checked prices have been added to the website.

and if u paid 1000 for 1 yr moksha and the sixth dont worry your actual was 680/- because of this error u will get more than 12 issues worth 320/- which is your left balance who ever paid tht much it would be same for them :

So need to worry guys :)

2009-01-10T12:32:00.000+05:30

Heah Karan, I paid INR 1000 for both Sixth & Moksha before through a1books, so I believe it is for 2 full year subscriptions, which includes 12 issues of Moksha & 12 Issues of Sixth, considering that you planned them as bi-monthly editions. Please confirm.

So, as per the New pricing you have hiked up the subscription charges and also have included Shipping. I believe that will be too high an amount to be paid by a subscriber. Generally, all comics publications provide free shipping, and the price of the issues are lesser than the On-Stands MRP. If you would like your subscribes base to grow, then this is the only option.

And I believe more than the book stores, a subscriber base makes or breaks a magazines success. So you have to plan to give them a better deal than what you give for the bookstores.

The subscription pack is too kinda weird.
1 year pack is charged at INR 500 whereas single issues on stalls would be INR 40 and no specials or anything has been mentioned.

I think Karan, if you just revamp the subscription page a bit it'd be better for the users.

I just tried out the subscribe page on the Vimanika website and i got reply back as:

"Following are the Enquiry Details

Date:1/8/2009 10:43:19 AM (EST)

Subscription Type:The SIXTH for one year

MOKSHA for one year
-- and my details"

Is this is what should have been the reply. I mean is that was what all of you got back as a reply?

Why dont you try Landmark to start with ?:)

You are absolutly right Rafiq ,

1-The comics on the whole will have more renowned or Ace Artists working on them like Dheeraj does u will see a decrease in a flat feel and see more quality.

2-No grammitical Mistakes cause as i mentioned to you we have Renowned very renowned Ex Editior of Marvel Comics working on the issues including the 02 issue -Nel Yomtov

3-and yes a strong point there Rafiq they will be more Global thn religious more Spiritual thn focused on only one caste or creed on the whole more relatable because we want to be more global too!!

Guys btw we are now Available in U.K too!

and we sold out in one of the biggest stores in the New York!!!

2009-01-06T11:37:00.000+05:30

பங்கு வேட்டை நண்பரே: சரியாக கூறினீர்கள். ஏனோ புராணங்களை அடிபடையாக கொண்டு உருவாகும் கதைகளில் அதை அதிகமாக கலப்பது நம்மவர்களுக்கு கை வந்த கலையாகி விட்டது. ஆனால் அக்கலாதில் ஆனந்த் பாய் போன்றவர்கள் சரியான விகிதத்தில் இதை மக்களுக்கு எடுத்து சென்றார்கள். அவரை பின்பற்ற இப்போது ஆட்கள் இல்லை என்பதே உண்மை. புதியாதாக தொடங்கி உள்ள பல காமிக்ஸ் பதிப்பாளர்கள் ஒரு மாற்றத்தை கொண்டு வருவார்கள் என்று நம்புவோம். Fire Fingre'o Fish Finger'o.... உங்கள் நகைச்சுவைக்கு அளவே இல்லை போங்கள்.

ஷங்கர்: சித்திரங்களின் தரம் உண்மையிலே vimanika வில் சிறந்தது. கனவுகளின் காதலனான உங்கள் கற்பனை திறனுக்கு அளவு கோள் ஏது? விமானிக்க பதிபகதினர், அவர்கள் புத்தகங்களின் வரவேற்ப்பை பொருத்து மற்ற இந்தியா மொழிகளிலும் அவற்றை வெளியிட எண்ணி உள்ளார்கள். பார்போம் அவர்கள் பயணம் எப்படி அமைய போகிறது என்று.

KV: Thanks for a comment from the visionary of Vimanika Comics. I would have been happy if you had also provided your answers to the critics mentioned about your comics in the post. Hopefully, you will answer them with your next upcoming issues.

Toonfactory: Thanks for your comment. Cinebook did release GM 2, but it is yet to reach India. If you had noticed my next comic post will be about Green Manor only, and that is one of my modern day favorite.

Viswa: Long time since I saw you a comment in any of Comicology posts. I agree with your viewpoint, and I was in the same stead, until my comic reading habit was largely reduced with the long absence of Lion/Muthu Comics and their irregular releases. So, I have learned to adopt to the newer generation of comics, but still maintaining the taste to choose the best from the lot. Vimanika is yet to achieve their stature, and they are still in its infant state. Hope you would make your presence in other posts, where your valuable comment is missing too.

Aalok: Thanks for your return visit and comment. I agree that I am not a great fan of monthly series or continuation storyline, as I am more happy to hold them in one piece as a TPB. But, we need t understand one point in this factor, that Vimanika is at an infant state, and for a level of reaching TPB, it first needs buyers to its monthly issues. Good or Bad, our critics and comments will what make them succeed in their mission. For the sheer reason that they are the first Indian Comics group initiative, I believe we should support them, by buying their editions. Which might probably push them to be more regular in their monthly releases. That said, as I explained before, I still believe that they have a long way to go before reaching a stature.

2009-01-04T16:17:00.000+05:30

Interesting stuff.That's all I can say for the time being.I really don't comment on a comic line unless either a storyline is completed or a sufficient number of issues are out,but I can simply say that the line is interesting.Virgin,though controlled by international brand,made a worthy attempt to mix indian talent with the western market,as can be seen by the many contributors to each comic,like MUKESH SINGH on GAME KEEPER(GUY RITCHIE/ANDY DIGGLE),ASHISH PADLEKAR on WALK IN(DAVE STEWART),SHEKHAR KAPUR on SNAKE WOMAN(ZEB WELLS) while we have satisfactorily noted primarily indian talent on SADHU & DEVI.
VIMANIKA,in contrast works specifically with indian talent.It will be a great feat to expand the indian market overseas,which is why I'll follow the issues,at the same time maintaining a wait & watch attitude.
I do hope KARAN VIR plans to release the issues in TPB format though,as I'm almost entirely a TPB reader

Rafiq,

After the Tele-Phonic conversation we had regarding this comics, i've seen this in the nungambakkam Landmark bookshop. However, as the other the new comics, this one also failed to impress me much.

May be my resistance towards the new age comics has to do something towards this. anyhow, let us welcome this comics and hope they do well.

Thanks and Happy New Year to you.
King Viswa.
