Oliver Siodmak's Rants & Raves

It has been over 3 months since the launch of ZudaComics.com web site and I have continued to observe a stream of articles published around the country about DC Comics’ foray into the online world of web comics. What is so refreshing after reading so many articles is Brian McTavish’s piece published on Feb 19th in the Kansas City Star which covers more than a simple regurgitation of the DC Comics’ press release.

Brian does a great job exploring the Zuda site and what it means to both comic creators as well as their readers. Zuda is changing the way people view and interact with online comics. What I believe is even more important however is the fact that it was a company like DC Comics, a major player in the comic book publishing space, providing the mechanism that allows professional and amateur talent alike to share their creativity with the world. And that is the people, the readers, who decide which work merits support and recognition.Check-out the entire article at the Kansas City Star.
