If I ran the Zuda
CHILI PALMER: You know how to write one of these?
BO: There’s nothin’ to know. You have an idea, you write down what you wanna say. Then you get somebody to add in the commas and shit where they belong, if you aren’t positive yourself. Maybe fix up the spelling where you have some tricky words… although I’ve seen scripts where I know words weren’t spelled right and there was hardly any commas in it at all. So I don’t think it’s too important. Anyway, you come to the last page you write in ‘Fade out’ and that’s the end, you’re done.
CHILI: That’s all there is to it, huh?
BO: That’s all.
CHILI: Then what do I need you for?
So. Zudacomics.
As many people have reported by now, notably Newsarama and ¡Journalista!, DC Comics is getting into the webcomics business.
People have been asking us what we think about it. After all, ComicMix is filled with expatriates from DC Comics and AOL. Some of our staff have been involved with electronic publishing since the earliest days of the commercial Internet, and have had some of the bigger successes.
The short answer: It looks like it could be a portal for new talent, and God bless — we need all the talent we can find coming into this industry. The long answer? Well, that requires a lot more unpacking.
