Taking the Biz to Market

I know I haven’t updated in awhile, but to be truthful not a lot has happened in the world of Horsemen, and to be even more honest, I haven’t really been concentrating on it too heavily right now. There’ve been some recent developments that have really garnered my undivided, and I kind of believe in really putting all my attention into that. In the meantime, though, the comic is coming along. Waiting on the new pages and looking forward to seeing the new previews sometime in the coming weeks, but otherwise there’s little more from me. Maybe next entry I’ll share another Horsemen story, but right now I’m kind of tapped.

However, I have been thinking about building the Horsemen Empire, creating a little biz on the side with these characters, and my first order of business is to come up with an inventory (and eventually, a new web site). So what I’d love to know from any and all of you is, what would you buy? What kinds of merch would really appeal to you? Obviously we’re going to do apparel. So what kind of apparel? What should go on shirts? What would really sum up your adoration for Horsemen, or what would just look cool that’s in some way connected with the property? In addition to apparel, what else would you dig? Stickers? What would go on them? I’m taking any and all suggestions, and I’ll try to center/create an inventory based around the demand. (Note: I know people would love “plushies,” but it’s not financially or physically possible at this point.) Post comments or e-mail me your ideas. If you really feel like showing your talents, whip up a mock-up and send it by. I’ll post ideas on the next entry. Have a good one.
