Earlier this year, DC Comics ended the monthly competititions for webcomic creators to win contracts with their Zuda Comics line. Soon after that, DC pulled the plug on Zuda altogether. Some Zuda creators got to continue their comics in a new DC format, but the most recent winners generally got left out in the cold. Right after Zuda’s collapse, we [...]

It seems ironic that a press session for a movie about some of the most advanced technology ever is starting late due to technical problems. One of the earliest questions is about why neither of Cindy Morgan’s characters are in the movie. Joe Kosinski says you have to make hard choices, it’s a father-son story, [...]

Zuda Comics, DC Comics’ webcomic line built on the last couple of years’ worth of monthly competitions in which hopeful creators fought it out to see who’d win the vote and get contracts to produce another year’s worht of comics, is gone.

During South By Southwest ’09 (otherwise known as SXSW to the initiated, or Secskwuh to anyone reading the letters) I had the exquisite pleasure of attending the premiere of none other than Kick-Ass!

Each month, DC Comics’ online division Zuda Comics pits ten teams of creative gladiators against each other in a vote-based arena where they fight to their webcomics’ deaths, with only one comic to get the thumbs-down and survive. (Yes, down. In the arenas of old, “thumbs up” was bad and “thumbs down” good even though Hollywood long ago mixed [...]

Paul Dini, writer for comics and cartoons based on the DC Comics line of characters, has had a huge influence on American television over the past fifteen years.

We love talking to competitors in each monthly Zuda Comics competition, webcomic creators who are competing for votes, views, and 5-star ratings that will earn 1 of the 10 creators (or creative teams) a contract to keep producing that comic for DC Comics’ online Zuda division. Every month’s competition is a different story in and of itself. This month [...]

In September we talked to Adam Lucas about his webcomic Goldilock, which he’d entered in that month’s competition for a contract with DC Comics’ Zuda online division. And lo and behold, Adam won! Tomorrow Goldilock returns to Zuda, launching its weekly run that will add 52 more pages to the 8 we already saw during the contest. [...]
