Assembled, Zipped, Transferred And Downloaded: News From Digital

By Tom Spurgeon

* Gary Tyrrell points us in the direction of a sale for the bonus-stuffed edition of Stripped!, the comics documentary with a huge webcomics making element to it. I liked the theatrical cut when I saw it last year, and I wish the filmmakers well with selling any version they choose to sell. I think you'd get a lot of interviews this way, and a big strength of the film is its catholic approach to those choices across print/digital lines

* the week after the Ignatz awards is always a good time to visit the on-line comic nominees. I sometimes wonder if digital comics -- of the traditional webcomics variety in particular -- have the same problem that web sites and blogs have in terms of finding new ways to drive readers to their material. They are much more conducive to some of the non-twitter social media platforms in particular, so there are compensating virtues, but when I think of webcomics I think of a kind of consumption of digital material I don't think exists to saturating levels now.

* finally, here's the comiXology press release on the second wave of publishers participating in their DRM-free program. Everyone expected a lengthy list when the digital comics distribution hub got around to putting one out. When the first list came out several publishers said they simply weren't able to announce right then due to the time commitment right before San Diego Con.
