I'm lumping this together with the article Planet Random Creative as they were both created and edited by Ayala himself and both suffer from the same issue: no coverage in reliable sources and appear to be an attempt at self-promotion by Ayala. I did a search and apart from some false positives showing up from a musician with a similar name, there is no coverage of Ayala, his comics, or his company. I can't verify any of the claims in the article. I did remove some links, which were links to his Kickstarter pages, his Amazon author entry (which is always written by the author or publicist representing them), and a non-usable blog entry. Even when it comes to blogs, there just isn't much talk about this guy at all. Article was previously PRODed, but was removed by the author with the rationale of "The page is inline with other independent comic publishers and related articles that are not in question" and an argument that can be summed up as "obviously notable". It doesn't help that the article has a huge amount of WP:PUFFERY going on.

 * delete both I'm just not finding anything on either of these other than the company web page. Mangoe (talk) 14:27, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete both Clearly promotional, and I am not able to find any reliable secondary sources (or really anything independent of the subject) to indicate notability.  Spencer T♦ C 17:43, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
