NYCC Part Two: ACT-I-VATE
It's time to talk a little about ACT-I-VATE! For those of you who don't know, Act-i-vate is a webcomic group much like Zuda with the following exceptions, they are not backed by a major comic company like DC, they do not get paid per screen, and they do not hold contests. Despite the lack of major backing, they still get lots of great press and are continually updating every week. The reason is because they love webcomics and it shows. That's why I attended the ACT-I-VATE panel on Friday.
The panel was moderated by Dan Goldman, who is officially a Freind-of-Timony. Dan has a comic on Act-i-vate called KELLY and also has a graphic novel in stores now called SHOOTING WAR. As soon as you're done reading this, you should go buy.
Backtracking a bit, last October, Bobby and I did the 24 Hour comic under the watchful eye of Scott McCloud himself, over at Jim Hanley's Universe in Manhattan. Also in attendence was Josh Adams (a link to his blog can be found to your right) as well as three members of Act-i-vate, Dan Goldman, Ryan Roman and Ulises Farinas. Over the course of the 24 hours, we got to know these fellas, and they were all very cool. Sometime during that grueling ordeal that is the 24 hour comic, Dan Goldman mentioned to us that Zuda would be going live soon, so if we were planning to submit something we should hurry up and get it ready. Without that warning, Bobby might not have had Night Owls ready in time for the Zuda launch party, and we might not have become Instant Winners! So, again, big thanks to Dan Golman at Act-i-vate!
So, back to the panel. They talked a little bit about how Act-i-vate came to be. They introduced the members of Act-i-vate, some of who I had met. Besides Dan, Ryan and Ulises, I had met Paul Maybury at a party the previous Tuesday. It was celebrating the release of his new graphic novel AQUA LEUNG, and benefiting the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund. Also at that party we met Dean Haspiel, Mike Cavallaro, Kevin Colden and Molly Crabapple. So, going into the panel, I now knew about eight Act-i-vate members, but like any collector, I gotta meet 'em all!
Some of you reading this are Zuda fans and no doubt recognize the name Dean Haspiel as the new Instant Winner (Congrats, Dean!) at Zuda. He is also the founder of Act-i-vate, and his Billy Dogma comics there are amazing. He's also been nominated for an Eisner, as has Mike Cavallaro for his comic, PARADE (WITH FIREWORKS).
There has been a bit of Zuda/Act-i-vate crossover, starting with Paul Maybury, who's Zuda entry MAXY J. MILLIONAIRE has moved to Act-i-vate. Then came Kevin Colden, who had a Zuda comic called STRANGLE/SWITCH and does a comic on Act-i-vate called FISHTOWN, and lately, Jim Dougan announced that he is bringing his Zuda entry, SAM & LILAH, over to Act-i-vate! Incidentally, my wife is a big fan of SAM & LILAH, so when it starts updating over there (in May, I think) another fan will find her way to Act-i-vate. And now, Dean Haspiel has a comic on Zuda.
Act-i-vate has been around for over two years, and is doing great. One of the things I like about the guys (and Molly) who I met at Act-i-vate is how supportive they have been of us comic creators at Zuda. I met a lot of cool people this weekend. I met some really famous people. But mostly, I'm glad I met the people who create the webcomics I read, be it on Zuda or Act-i-vate. They are comic creators after my own heart.
You will find a link to Act-i-vate on the right. Be sure to read MOTRO, BACKSTAGE, BILLY DOGMA, LOVIATHAN, KID ZERO, GLAM, FISHTOWN, PARTY BEAR, PERSIMMON CUP or any other comic you find. They are all quality.

Zuda Panel Podcast
The Zuda Panel podcast is online at the DC Comics site now. Here's a link! http://www.dccomics.com/news/?nw=9844
NYCC Part One: Zuda
The New York Comic Con wrapped up yesterday, and I think I've finally recovered enough to start talking about it. I'll start off by talking about Zuda.
First of all, unlike the Wondercon in San Fran, Zuda's table was a part of the larger DC booth. This was cool because of all the great DC talent that was walking around in our vicinity, but a little uncool because we didn't have as much room as we did before. In San Fran, the Zuda booth became a home base where we would hang and meet other Zuda creators, and there was plenty of room to sign stuff, even if you weren't officially supposed to be there. This weekend, we didn't have that luxury.
However, I learned that the Zuda community doesn't really need a home base to hang out in. Every single Zuda creator I met was AWESOME, in the full 80's sense of the word. Here's a brief run-down of the Zuda people we met and/or hung out with: David Gallaher and Steve Ellis of HIGH MOON, Jeremy Love of BAYOU, Nick Doan of PRAY FOR DEATH, Johnny Zito and Tony Trov of BLACK CHERRY BOMBSHELLS, Paul Maybury of MAXY J. MILLIONAIRE, Jim Dougan of SAM & LILA, Greg Delcurla of LEPRINOMICON, Mike Imboden of THOMAS: AGENT OF CHAOS, Chachi & Gabe Hernandez of JOE COMICS, Kevin Colden of STRANGLE/SWITCH, Tony Tobin of YULETIDE and Tyler James of SUPER SEED! Oh yeah, and also Zuda's newest addition, Dean Haspiel of STREET CODE!
On Saturday we had our first ever Zuda Panel! A big thank you to anyone reading this who managed to attend our panel, and an even bigger thank you if you got a question in! If you missed it, no worries. I have a feeling it might be podcast somewhere soon. Anyway, there were four big Zuda announcements at the panel, which you have probably heard by now, but here they are again:
1. NIGHT OWLS is now going to update TWICE WEEKLY!!!
2. SUPERTRON is live and updating!
3. There's a new Instant Winner in Dean Haspiel, and the first page of his comic, STREET CODE, is now LIVE! Congrats, Dean!
4. July is the ZUDA INVITATIONAL! Any comic that was on Zuda and didn't win is eligible for a rematch, with 8 new screens! So go to Zuda and tell them (via the Feedback link) which comics you'd like to see return!
Thanks to Ron and Kwanza and everyone else at Zuda!
That's all I have time for now, but as you can see, there's a "Part One" at the top of the post, which means I have more to say. Stay tuned.
