Where can I see my comic?

I just uploaded the second page of my comic.. But I can't seem to find where people looking for new comics will see it..
Is there a section where people can check new comics even when they are not popular?
Other sites once a comic is updated list it under the "new" section, but that doesn't seem to be the case in tapastic.

Also I'm uploading my comic in a single chapter, the first chapter is like 50 pages long but I have heard it would be better to upload it as different chapters .. Why is that??

Thanks in advance.

if you search for all comic and filter on date you find the comics that just updated.

Sometimes comics end up in the new/noteworthy but not all of them. If you check comic>browse>date, newly updated comics will always be there (no matter how popular), though I'm not sure how often people check it. Hmm the benefit of uploading your pages as different episodes is that you have more of a chance to stay in the radar? You would be "bumping up" your comic every time you post an episode, in other words. Many readers also like reading in smaller sections, for example 5-10 pages per episode. But that's ultimately up to you.

I just updated my series, and it didn't appear filtered in 'date' maybe is because I uploaded another page inside the same chapter instead of making another chapter with just one page? @raintowns is that what you mean by staying in the radar?

Yeah, pretty much. Tapastic doesn't notify people if you update within the chapter, so for now you have to upload a separate episode for your page(s). But I heard Tapastic will be changing that soon so that creators can actually send notifications if you update the same chapter/episode.

Thanks, that explains everything

Yup, exactly correct. We'll be adding a feature soon to let you notify subscribers when you update/edit/add to an existing episode (if you want to update page by page or image by image or something with an episode/chapter).

As for sorting by date (i.e. sorting comics/series by date of last update)... that's in terms of how recently a new chapter/episode was added, and so would not necessarily reflect edited or updated existing ones. However, once the new notification feature rolls out, we'll definitely consider updating how the filters and sorting work as well to take that into account.
