Amilova 0.97!
No, the V1 is not a chimera, it will be available really soon!
We are working on it as quickly as possible: while improving the site and correcting bugs, we also add new features that bring us closer and closer to the final release of Amilova V1. For sure, you have already seen the introduction of "The Amilova Collective" and the new subscription packages Premium and Platinium. So stay tuned, this is just the beginning ;).
And at the same time, we are working to make our comic/manga books catalogue much richer and varied. So a lot of new books will be presented for the first time at the Japan Expo Paris!!
The Amilova Collective!
We are pleased and proud to present you the series and the artists that are part of "The Amilova Collective"!
The artists of the Amilova Collective publish exclusively on our site 20 new pages every month!So, every day you could enjoy a new page of Amilova, Arkham Roots, Dark Eagle, Food Attack, Full Moon, Hemispheres, Imperfect, Living the Dream Life of a Teacher and RUN8!
The most important is that the artists of the Amilova Collective are under contract and are paid to publish their series on the site. They are paid in advance, but they also receive a percentage of books sales, of subscription packages sales, of advertising profits.
Amilova.com becomes a true cross-media publisher providing traditional books but also digital contents and collaborative online publishing platform.
Subscription packages and Fair Trade Comics
Amilova.com pays royalties in advance and shares with the authors of the collective the incomes of their audience in an equitable way. This is precisely the concept of FAIR TRADE COMICS that we wanted to implement since the beginning of our project, concept in which the focus is on the welfare of the artist: You could find more information here.
Well, if our authors are paid, logically we need to have incomes to pay to them.
The site's revenues principally come from subscriptions.
However, we want to maintain a balance between free and paid content, because we believe that readers would like to subscribe because they want to have fun on Amilova.com and support our authors, not because they are forced to.
So, the "free membership" readers keep access to the majority of the site pages and content.
Every subscription gives access to exclusive pages of the series of The Amilova Collective Authors, to archives and to additional options for a more pleasant reading experience.
All information is available on the subscription page: click here.Japan Expo Paris : from July 5 to 8, 2012!

New comics/manga on Amilova.com
Gangstas and Paradise
An amazing shonen manga created by the Indonesian artist nilanandita! Welcome to the age of vice, Kali Yuga.
The age when human civilization has been brainwashed into the depraved lifestyle of the profligate greed of money, while most people who have power have thoughts of murder with no justification and see nothing wrong in that.
At this age, many saints said that the "Supreme God" will appear as the chastiser known as Kalki, who is destined to destroy the evil reign ruled by the "Queen of Demons: Kali", in order to save the world. But in reality, the true demon is living in human hearts, intangible and not as clearly-personified as the "solid" form called Kali. Does it mean that what Kalki intends to destroy, is humanity itself?
