DIGITAL WEBBING PRESENTS 2.0 (We're baaa-aaack!)

**Kel Nuttall** · 05-01-2010, 06:32 PM

Digital Webbing Presents,
our very own homegrown
anthology, is returning!

Many (if not most) of you are familiar with DWP and the roster of established and new talent who have graced it's pages. Not to mention the guys who had some of their earliest work published in DWP and are now "rising stars". Guys like Yildiray Cinar (Legion of Super-Heroes, Ravager, Noble Causes), Mahmud A Asrar (Siege: Young Avengers, Atom, Nova, Dynamo 5), Ryan Ottley (Invincible, Haunt) and Kody Chamberlain (Sweets, 30 Days of Night: Bloodsucker Tales, Beowulf) to name a few. Go check out a list of creators in DWP here.

DWP 2.0 will be taking advantage of current technology to publish as first-run digital content on mobile devices like iPhones and iPads, as well as online. Options for printed editions/collections are being discussed as well.

We're looking for quality work, the kind of work that built the reputation that had editors from the big boys sending promising creators to DWP to "get some real work under their belts." We'll need both short stories and serialized stories. Shorts or chapters should be in the neighborhood of 8 pages, content should be PG-13 at most.

I'll be helping Ed run things so you can ask questions here in the thread and one of us will answer you.

So, anyone interested?

Kel, is this going to be standard format pages or landscape/webcomic style?

**Kel Nuttall** · 05-01-2010, 08:08 PM

Hey, dude! I've been working under the assumption we're talking traditional print format. That would work better for potential print collections down the road. Final decision would come down to Ed, he's the publisher. (I guess I'm Editor or Editor-in-Chief or something?)

**Kel Nuttall** · 05-01-2010, 08:19 PM

And everyone please spread the word!

arseneau77 · 05-01-2010, 08:30 PM

Oh well, if it does turn out that Ed wants to go with landscape formats, Darkwalkers is available (although that might be pushing the PG-13 thing for violence). I had planned to do it as a series of three or four 8-page 'chapters' anyway. Just throwin' that out there

Also, with Zuda having just announced their cancellation of the competition format, there's probably a lot of high quality 8-page pieces floating around out there in that format. Just something to think about maybe...

Either way, great idea and super pumped to hear that DW presents is back!! I'll probably try to assemble a team to pitch something once we know for sure about the specs.

Cool.

harryd · 05-02-2010, 03:01 AM

Sounds good! I'd be interested in trying to put something together once the guidelines are written up.

zcotty · 05-02-2010, 03:19 AM

I'd be more than happy to have a chance to write or draw or write/draw something for the legendary DWP!

Oh dear lord...

"We're putting the band back together!!!"

**Kel Nuttall** · 05-02-2010, 06:12 AM

Glad to see everyone so stoked about it!

Be sure to pass the word! Hopefully we'll have the submission specifics set and posted by Monday.

JamieRoberts · 05-02-2010, 06:19 AM

Awww, cool!

I doubt I'll be involved, unless there's any call for pin-ups or something, but it's nice to see DWP back.

Count me in for some art! I've wanted to contribute some sequentials to this thing since joining the site, it would be a fun little honour.

Question - can you submit more than one entry for consideration? Hedge bets, etc.
