As mainstream comic properties the world once cherished become lesser in quality and desirability, a new player in town is coming on the scene to shake up the industry. I am talking about the all-new Arktoons platform, which is launching next Wednesday, April 28th. Arktoons is a digital comics site that features their comics in a panel style conducive for viewing on tablets and phones. This comics site will be a direct competitor to Webtoons, and I understand that there is a LOT of new, fresh and independent content ready to be launched on it. I have heard discussion about just how much material has been gathered for this site---neither Marvel nor DC property (I'm happy to say)---and I am extremely impressed by the numbers.

Being an independent comic creator myself, I can assure you that both illustrator Mary MacArthur and myself are keenly interested in the developments surrounding this new platform. I think you can guess why.
