Bleeding Cool has been following the career of Tom Abel, working as Head Of Content for the Korean LINE Webtoon digital comics publisher and distributor, now the US-based Webtoons, and writing a comic with Stan Lee. Until, suddenly, he wasn't.

Then co-founding up a competitor, Graphite, that publishes webtoons and traditional print titles such as The Boys, Locke & Key and Irredeemable.
And now… moving on again. He told me,

I have moved on from Graphite for another opportunity. This was one of the most difficult decisions of my career. Graphite has been an amazing ride and I thank the incredible team there for the opportunity and wish them the best. The future of digital comics is brighter than ever.

It's not Terrific Production is it? Or AWA? I guess we'll find out soon…
