Any ideas on where I can find reviewers for my comics-books?

So I've been trying to find reviewers who could review my comic-books Astron's Crusaders 1: https://www.lulu.com/shop/nb-yomi/astrons-crusaders/paperback/product-1898k5r7.html?q=&page=1&pageSize=4 Astron's Crusaders #2: https://www.lulu.com/shop/nb-yomi/astrons-crusaders-issue-2/paperback/product-16ymg8nr.html?q=&page=1&pageSize=4 And SpellCaster Demon Hunter: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BTMMDRVF

Any idea on where I can find reviewers for these comics of mine?

friends and family might be a good place to start.
also anywhere where you can find a bunch of people who read comics, like an art discord or a forum such as here might also be a good idea, other social media perhaps as well.
maybe offering free copies to people in exchange for their opinion/review?

looking at your comics they're just single chapters so it might be hard for a reader to give a review? depends what level/length/quality review you're after. just a thought.

As for getting friends and family to review my work? Well I don't friends, but acquaintances. And letting my parents review my work? Letting my Christian dad read comics about witches and demons is a disaster waiting to happen. And friends? Well I have acquaintances, and tried sharing with them and haven't heard back because we'll all middle aged adults with our own lives. I've also tried Facebook and Twitter, but I get that song and dance as a need more followers on my accounts before I can think of asking anyone to review my work.

Problem is back when social media started in the early 2000s I swore I wouldn't post a lot lest I become a social media addicted teen as many grew into being.

I haven't tried sharing on Discord or other forums like this one, so that's worth a shot. And giving away free copies? I can do that, but I don't know who to give them to given my limited options.

Well, forums and discord groups are definitely a smart place to look. They are where you'll find dedicated people looking to improve their skills.

If you're in a large enough town, you may also be able to find local groups or clubs. There isn't a city worth its salt that doesn't have some version of a writers collective.

[Suuper-san]

thinking about it there must surely be reviewers on Fiverr or similar freelance sites?
i.e. paid reviews

Yeah I should've asked Suuper-san this but how do I ask for reviews on Discord? As for looking up local groups and clubs? I can looking them up on Facebook right?

Oh I can't afford to pay anyone to review my work. I should've been clear on that, sorry.

[Suuper-san]

I'm not too sure about how to find art Discord groups, but a google search would probably put you in the right direction.
Ah right for free reviews then I think you've just got to ask a whole bunch of people.
Incidentally I don't mind giving a review, if you PM me your work. But it might take me a couple of weeks as I'm always busy.
