The winner of my Coolest Cross-Media Promotion of a Web Series award goes to GOLD. The online program about a group of professional role players who play collectible card games recently produced its own character card game. GOLD, the CCG features 20 of the series’ most popular characters and gameplay based upon actual show events. It’s the perfect mix of fundraising, marketing, and meta.
The almost winner of my Coolest Cross-Media Promotion of a Web Series award goes to Dr. Horrible, which just released some sneak peak shots to Splash Page of its upcoming, highly-anticipated, paper and ink comic book. Published by Dark Horse and written by Zack Whedon, the one-shot issue “establishes how a young, impressionable, but brilliant Dr. Horrible was drawn into a world of crime” and recounts the first encounter with his soon-to-be archnemesis, Captain Hammer.
The 24-page hard copy comic will set you back $3.50 (which is what comic books cost these days) and hits the shelves on November 18. Stop into your friendly neighborhood Dark Horse retailer or pre-order yours here.
It’s also worth noting that you don’t need to have a last name like Whedon or a hookup at an established comic book publisher to get your own comic made. Check out what the creators of Defenders of Stan produced with some skills and some Comixpress.
