New digital comics meet old storytelling tricks

New digital comics meet old storytelling tricks | Transmedia: Storytelling for the Digital Age | Scoop.it

Seth Rosenblatt:  "Comics fans are getting a double-dose of digital innovation this summer, as DC Comics lets you choose your own Batman adventure and revel in new tales of the campy '60s Batman."

The Digital Rocking Chair's insight:

Despite the odd hiccup, comics seem to be successfully embracing digital whilst also growing their traditional print base.  It makes a great lesson for any of the creative industries struggling with the transition to digital.

Hmmm.. when might a comic book be a 48 hr film?

5 Comics/Transmedia Trends to Watch in 2013 | Transmedia: Storytelling for the Digital Age | Scoop.it

:  "As comics have become more powerful lords of the entertainment universe, we look at what’s in store, across platforms, for 2013."

The Digital Rocking Chair's insight:

After a stellar year in 2012, what's next for comics?  Hint: there's a lot of transmedia storytelling involved.

Bastante interesante. Me gusta ver estos cambios, en especial porque poco a poco se empiezan a ver las fusiones entre los estilos estadounidense y japonés (hell, yeah, me refiero a Avatar: La leyenda de Aang/Korra).

 

Personalmente, me encanta que los cómics empiecen a usar más esta plataforma. No que no lo hubieran hecho antes (Marvel luego te engancha para que descargues libremente el número 1 de todos sus cómics y luego ya te vende los demás) o que no hubieran existido plataformas para hacerlo (Comicrack!!!). 

Como sea, me parece que estas tendencias son perfectamente observables hoy día y que podemos ver a dónde hacen evolucionar al cómic sin grandes temores a que echen algo a perder (además de la línea editorial de DC, is that to say)
