Fantendo - Drive
Fdlogo2017

Fantendo - Drive is a comic book publisher created and run by Inora, with books written and drawn by various other related companies and freelance workers. It was first founded in 2015 before being relaunched in both 2016 and 2017 to combat the imprint slowing down and selling less. Although most of the publisher's content takes place in the New Fantendoverse continuity and related universes, other unrelated books are allowed to be published.

A new app known as Drive Digital came with the 2017 relaunch, allowing readers to browse through and buy comics on the go, write and read reviews, and even get free previews, newsletters, and special offers. It's been confirmed that the app will get exclusive titles.

Reception thus far has been positive. If you'd like to do a comic series for the imprint and are not one of the frequent writers, please pitch your idea in the comments and I will either approve or reject it.
