What are you hoping these creative teams will do to help explore and expand this universe? "Dig Dug" definitely has a mythology and storyline, but much like the other ShiftyLook properties, it hasn't really been explored. Is it safe to assume this particular initiative will be more humor based than plot-driven? These creators have an incredibly diverse style of writing and illustration - while some are more slanted toward serious overlying plot, most of the names are known best for their contribution to humor. I like that you brought up diversity because that's certainly something these names evoke. Something that's very important for me is making sure we're doing webcomics and not comics on the web. I just wanted to broaden the diversity of what we're doing. Torres, but let's also go over some webcomics folks too. That said, for "Dig Dug" let's add in some more comics veterans like J. I want to be very broad, I want to be as inclusive as possible but at least in our first run of ShiftyLook, we focused on comics veterans who actually have been fantastic at adapting from comics on the web to webcomics. Of course, we're still tapping into comics veterans as well. So when you get to that topic, who is best doing webcomics? Well, people who have been doing this for a while are really good at this medium. I think what's important - and I don't know if it's a hot topic, but I feel it's a hot topic lately - but there's a debate over, at least I talk to people about this, webcomics versus comics on the web. What was the impetus to reaching out to webcomics creators as opposed to the established print comics talent you've been using so far? The list you sent out contains 33 different names for creators that will be working on the "Dig Dug" project, some of whom work on ShiftyLook comics already, but the vast majority do not and many of them seem to be pulled from the stable of webcomics talent. We literally have about 30 teams queued up so let's see how that goes, but it's all going to be stand-alone stories. That's not to say if something is incredibly popular, maybe we could continue it beyond the anniversary collaboration, but let's just see how it goes. The only downside is there's not a continuing story per se, but it's all "Dig Dug" and it's all adding to it. Basically, the plus side is that it's something brand new from left field every single week. All the creators have their own chance to do something fun and wacky. What can fans expect when tuning in to ShiftyLook for new "Dig Dug" adventures?Įverything's going to be stand-alone. Tell us a bit about the format of the "Dig Dug" comics.
