Zeros 2 Heroes, New Vancouver-Based Comics Social Networking Site
:: Posted by Bryan @ 7/25/2007 02:28:00 AM Another social networking site, akin to MySpace and ComicSpace, has been launched by a Vanouver, BC -based start-up called Zeroes 2 Heroes Media. The site shares many of the familiar features common to other sites and bills itself as a means to "find new works, buy and sell comics, figurines and other collectibles, track down rides to local conventions, and help entertainment studios shape their ideas." This last point is perhaps the most salient: the entire site appears to be set up to encourage pop culture fans and artists to develop content that is ultimately licensable --sort of a giant idea harvesting machine. Zeros 2 Heroes also seems to work as a satellite production company and market research/focus group supplier for other media groups, as well as a developer of its own corporate properties. The first announced deal involves a relaunch of the CGI tv series ReBoot, in conjunction with that property's owner, Rainmaker Animation. The initial plan, to be unveiled at the San Diego ComicCon later this week, seems to involve getting fans of the show to help create a trilogy of movies based on the series --no word yet on how these fans will be compensated for their input.Labels: British Columbia, comics on tv, interweb, Vancouver
