Oni, Platinum Seek Talent, Properties
I'd like to say "It's summer and that means comics talent search season!" but that's not true, as I don't really remember a whole lot of comics talent searches in summer or any other season. It seems like it would make sense, though, and certainly with summer convention season comes portfolio reviews that sort of have that same whiff of despair and hope all mixed together. Anyway, Oni Press gives details on their talent search to Chris Arrant here. Platinum, the company that figured out a way to have adaptation-ready comics properties without all that troublesome comics publishing, will be doing theirs in conjunction with NBC's San Diego affiliate.
