Having sucessfully launched the Clickwheel comic reader, both online and on the iphone, Rebellion and Clickwheel are launching a new initiative - Comicbrush.
Little is known about the site yet, but their press announcement tells us:
"A companion site to Clickwheel, Comicbrush is aimed at consumers that want a simple way to
create, publish and share a comic.
Rather than drawing a comic from scratch, Comicbrush lets you mix stock
artwork from our fun collection of comic backgrounds, characters and
props with photos of your friends, neighborhood or college.You can add
speech balloons, text, your own artwork and more, before publishing
your comic to the Web, social networking sites like Flickr, Facebook
and MySpace, or a friend's iPhone/Touch.
And there's more. Comicbrush is not just for comic
fans. If you're a comic creator, Comicbrush lets you create an
interactive version of your comic… all you do is supply the characters
and/or artwork for others to create their own version of your comic."
The promise of creating your own 2000AD cartoons is intriguing, even if the only assets we'll have are from the recent Rogue Trooper game, as suggested by the website. Certainly worth keeping an eye on, in any case.
The press launch is next Wednesday, with special guest star Carlos Ezquerra attending. We weren't invited (sob!) but expect to see details of the launch on the web (almost certainly on the following Monday's Lying in the Gutters), and we'll gather up any press links here too.
