Okay so theres no way to know

My best bet is to draw short stories and hope one bites

Go ask Stan Lee for advice. Write him a letter.

I'll answer a bit more seriously; while doing that is one way, another way is to write a full script for your story, draw about ten pages of the story to show that you can do the work, and then send both the script and completed pages to not just where you'd like to get published (publishers will usually have information for submissions), but to literary agents as well.
A literary agent will take a chunk of any payment and royalties if you get signed, but they'll be the ones to actually get you signed in the first place, so if they're interested, you know there's a good possibility you're good enough (and it's probably wise to sign with them anyway, as they actually can get in contact with publishers, and your work extra consideration, that simply submitting to the publishers wouldn't have).

Make sure to ask for feed back and critique on your work, particularly if your art is up to snuff.
If no one bites, you're not good enough.
If someone responds, they're likely to give you that critique and tell you WHY you're not good enough.
And if you get signed, success, you were good enough.

>getting your comic published
Depends on what kind of comic and where you're looking to get it published, but you should be able to draw consistently on model and understand how to use line hierarchy and values as a bare minimum for monochrome illustrations.

But that's easier to do and you will be able to gain experience quicker if you put stuff out (heard this from so many others who've done it and some of them are professionally published in japan at this point. I myself am still struggling with finishing 50 page projects, so make of that what you will)

Damn i didnt know any of that. I always thought that literary agents were just for novelists..
many thanks. Specially for the bit about the script. I was wondering how was I supposed to pitch a longer work (since theres no way im drawing 1000 pages just to pitch something lol)

Mostly fantasy and Detectives

I know that there advantages to it. I will simply pitch my work and if its rejected i self publish it. I think thats the best of both worlds

Well look at what else they publish and you have your answer. Basic homework.

>>7611898
Fucking lol.

Comics need a solid art style, ie it must be consistent. You must develope an own style so that your characters stay recognizable. However it doesn't need to be very good, since comics are primarily about the story anyway.

Publishing comics is hard, because you have to be so productive. It's one thing to draw nice, but it's different when you have to draw 1 page every day.
