Out in beta – Hyper Comics has taken their Comic Book Creater software online and created a cool new place for aspiring and experienced comic book writers and illustrators to meet and showcase their work. HyperComics, from Planetwide Media is the interactive social network and industry resource where next-generation amateur and professional comic book creators can showcase their original comic books, discuss them with their peers and find an audience.
On a semi related note, Universal Pictures and Planetwide Media announced today the launch of the SMOKIN’ ACES Digital Comic Book. Available at the film’s official website, www.SmokinAces.net, the comic may now be viewed and downloaded by fans of the upcoming feature film SMOKIN’ ACES, in theaters January 26th.
The comic includes six stories written by SMOKIN’ ACES’ writer/director Joe Carnahan, with illustrations by IDW Publishing. The 30-page Digital Flip Book was created by Planetwide’s Comic Book Creator™ and has the realistic feel of a comic in digital format. Its pages peel over to illustrate storylines featuring characters from the film. The SMOKIN’ ACES comic, along with a selection of user-generated digital comics, can be viewed and shared through Planetwide’s Digital Media Reader at http://www.Hypercomics.com, the company’s social community for comic book creators and fans of comics.
