Zestworld, a blockchain-powered comic publishing platform based in Singapore has launched its first title All. The aim of the company is to help creators make more money and reach their audience through this new medium.
Zestworld is a new comics publisher that has launched with all the best comics. The company also offers a subscription service for its readers.
There’s a new comic book publisher on the block, and it’s bringing an all-star lineup of creative talent with it. Zestworld is a new subscription-based publisher that aims to offer artists a bigger financial interest in the projects they help create. In contrast to work-for-hire arrangements with the Big Two of Marvel Comics and DC Comics, if a Zestworld comic is turned into a television or film, the authors maintain the overall rights. The all-star creators of Zestworld comics are also investors in the firm, according to the New York Times, providing even more incentives.
“We began with the problem statement that this sector is broken for artists; and it’s broken in publishing, TV, and cinema; it’s also broken in events and collectibles,” Chris Giliberti, Zestworld’s founder and CEO, told the New York Times in a telephone interview. “We wanted to create something that could be used in all aspects of their company – anyplace they make money.”
Eric Canete, Amanda Conner, Phil Jimenez, Jimmy Palmiotti, Alex Segura, and Peter Tomasi are among the Zestworld creators. Zestworld is giving monetary advances for the comics in development in addition to becoming investors. When Substack announced their entry into the comics industry, it used a similar technique to recruit talent like James Tynion IV, Skottie Young, Donny Cates, Ryan Stegman, Saladin Ahmed, Kelly Thompson, Jonathan Hickman, and others.
Alexis Ohanian’s Seven Seven Six, a venture capital company, was one of Zestworld’s early investors. Ohanian was also a co-founder of Reddit and an early investor in Patreon, a platform that enables content providers to sell exclusive material to subscribers for a fee. In an email interview, Ohanian continued, “I’m a lifetime comics enthusiast, so much so that I didn’t read a real book for enjoyment until college.” “This investment was born out of a personal interest, but it also fits in well with my creator economy investing background.”
In a telephone conversation, Palmiotti remarked, “They put their money where their mouth was.” “‘You guys may do anything you want,’ they remarked as they approached us. We’d want you to make some comics and characters for us. You people own them, and you guys are in charge of them.’”
He said, “Nothing is done without sitting down and chatting with us, and nothing is created without benefitting us. It’s the type of openness that all creative need.”
The Zestworld Twitter account retweeted some of the next series’ artwork. The Awakened’s creative team includes co-writers Michael Moreci and Alex Segura, illustrator Dean Kotz, colorist Jason Wordie, and letterer Jim Campbell; Eric Canete is working on Arc Athena; Phil Jimenez is bringing Otherworld to readers; and Jimmy Palmiotti and Juan Santacruz are collaborating on Found.
Good morning, everyone! Here’s some important information:
I’m co-writing THE AWAKENED with Alex Segura, a brand-new superhero mystery for the newly revealed Zestworld!
Dean Kotz did the art, Jason Wordie did the coloring, and Jim Campbell did the lettering.
