The March of the Collectives
|
A collective, loosely defined, is any sustained grouping of webcomic creators. What they do together varies greatly from group to group. Some are largely a peer group offering each other critical feedback and encouraging support. Others throw in cross-promotion for each others' work. Some build a collective brand with logos, advertising and a central website. Some share business experience and expertise in areas as varied as merchandise, books, conventions, hosting and website creation.
And what did I find from my research? There's a tremendous number of collectives out there (and that I never want to attempt another "survey" article again). And, oh yeah, checking out collectives can be a great way to find excellent new comics.

Comixpedia's People Of Webcomics List For 2006
It's the third annual Comixpedia People Of Webcomics List. This was the hardest one yet to compile. There's a lot of webcomics and a lot of people doing interesting things in and around webcomics. This list, as in past years, is an odd effort to compare apples and oranges: artistic achievement, audience popularity, technical achievement, business savvy, news-making impact all go into the mix.

One day I wound up shooting a wedding. Not in that "oh my, too many violent video games these days" manner, but in the video manner. Of course, me being "into computers" as everyone else likes to say, I decided to do a little editing on the computer. That stupid poorly shot badly edited craptastic DVD did one thing for me: it got me into editing.
Ever since, I’ve had a little crush on the art of editing. It's a sorely under appreciated job - the editor nearly has as much control over the quality of the final product as the director. I never really thought about it in relation to comics though - there's no real direct comparison to be made. Artists don't send five versions of a panel to be sifted through and cropped and chosen to be placed in an ever so particular spot on the page.
