Donny Cates and Ryan Stegman launch Substack

Substack is where you’ll find creato-owned projects by Donny Cates and Ryan Stegman among other creators they’re collaborating with.

Donny Cates and Ryan Stegman officially launched their own Substack today which will be the home for their series Vanish. The creator-owned title Vanish was announced back in June, but at the time both creators said they weren’t sure who would be publishing yet. You can check out their Substack now.

The Substack announcement is filled with humor as both creators explain why they’re using the platform–and even joke they created it–and what’s to come. They revealed titles like Flood and The One You Feed will also premiere on Substack. The One You Feed is six-issue mini-series from Cates, Dylan Burnett, and John J. Hill. Flood is written by Cates, Megan Hutchison-Cates, Dee Cunniffe, and John J. Hill.

Cates spoke with Newsarama today about the new endeavor and confirmed all of these titles will “eventually” be available via Image Comics. “Both will eventually be coming out through Image in print As will Vanish,” Cates said adding, “Folks can get a whole lot more info on that front by smashing that subscribe button on KLC Press!!”

The pricing on Cates and Stegman’s Substack is similar to others we’ve seen before though there are a few differences. There’s a monthly level of $8, an annual level of $80, and a “GOAT Annual Level” of $300. The latter is a touch more than most as other creators have a similar style “Founder” tier that costs $250.

Jonathan Hickman also revealed big plans for Substack, and Chip Zdrasky spoke to AIPT exclusively about his plans too.
