Announcing a New, Comic-Based Web Community – Comic Book Scoop!
Bay City, MI -- Visit http://www.comicbookscoop.com/
to get in on the
ground floor of the newest and most innovative comic book community on
the web. Comic Book Scoop utilizes the “Blogiverse” to enhance and
expand the comic book community.
“My goal is to create an online fanzine,” said Chad Halsey, the owner of
Comic Book Scoop. “I hope this new website will become THE place on the
web for comic fans, artists, writers, professionals, amateurs and
curious bystanders to exchange opinions about the latest events in the
industry, collaborate on new projects, and brainstorm ways to expand the
ranks of comic book fans.”
Comic Book Scoop incor****ates blogging technology which will allow
individuals to create their own blog, or online journal, to write about
whatever interests them. “The focus of the site will be comics,” added
Chad, “but I want it to be more about building a community where all of
the members just happen to be comic fans.”
One of the features that is particularly new and innovative is the
ability of members of Comic Book Scoop's community to create “books”. A
book is a collaborative effort: users can write and create art for pages
of the book, position the pages in the right order, and review or modify
pages previously created.
Comic Book Scoop also uses RSS (Really Simple Syndication) technology to
allow users to syndicate content from the site into a newsreader and
will incor****ate RSS feeds from comic publishers and creators who
provide them. “I want to make Comic Book Scoop a one-stop location for
people to read about news, previews and reviews of the latest happenings
in the industry,” said Chad.
Other features of Comic Book Scoop include the ability to comment on
other's blog entries, private message other members of the community,
build buddy lists, and vote in online polls.
“Comics have often been written-off as a medium for children. While that
is partially true, those of us who read comics know that it is a much
broader art form than it is often given credit for,” said Chad.
“Hopefully this new site will help to illuminate a broader audience
about the educational and artistic attributes of comic books.”
The web site is free to the public and will be advertiser sup****ted.
