Month: July 2005

The silence surrounding Keenspots San Diego ComiCon panel has been deafening and since Comixpedia did not have an operative in place we have been patiently waiting for word on what was announced at the panel.

Keenspot will implement an incentive program intended to reward Keenspot comics that update regularly, Keenspace will change name to Comic Genesis and finally there is a TV show in the works.

Update: More announcements made at the panel is now available in the Websnark thread.
