I'm Eric July. I founded Rippaverse Comics in 2022 and built it into an independent publisher with over $15 million in sales and worldwide distribution, with no investors and no corporate backing. This channel is where I show the work. The Build: inside the company. Real numbers, real decisions, and what it actually takes to run an independent publisher. The Ledger: the business of entertainment. Box office, streaming, publishing, and the creator economy, broken down by someone with skin in the game. Plus weekly livestreams, music, and whatever else I find interesting.
