As Above will be free to read for the first few chapters. I am an independent, disabled artist, so eventually this will require a pay-what-you-can subscription to access (minimum $2/month). This will allow me to post on a schedule while maintaining the quality of art.
You can opt-in to subscribe at any time prior to then. The more support I receive, the sooner I can establish and maintain a consistent upload schedule. Each page takes hours of work and I do not have assistants or illustrative editors. I do all of the work myself and every dollar goes directly to myself as the creator so that I can continue to create this comic.
As Above is created and managed by one person out of love for this story. If I ever am privileged enough to afford a team, I will announce the good news with all of my readers.
Thank you for your support and interest in reading As Above. I hope to be able to tell this story for years to come.
Sincerely,
HD
Creator of As Above & Unfortunate
