Me and my South African born wife have discussed doing a comic book convention in her hometown Pretoria or at least J-burg (Johannesburg) where the money is getting much better after hosting World Cup Soccer!
With Nigeria's entertainment community on the rise Africa will soon be a great place for budding 'entreprenegroes' to get their money on!
What could happen literally is that a Middle Passage connection could be made that could very well bypass the standard issue Hollywood gravy train and start an off the books revenue stream for black creators!
BUT... What this brother needs to do is adopt high end software like Zbrush or other animation software because as a people we are way behind the industry that is leaving printed comics in the dust!
