At the Thought Bubble panel for Electricomics last year, they had an idea, but that was all. Last weekend at Thought Bubble, they had an app featuring some of the best creators in comics, and a bunch of experimental newcomers. It's been quite a year.

Mitch Jenkins, the man who helped get the funding for the project and longtime Alan Moore collaborator had an answer He said that they have been talking to Avatar[...]

It simply looks stunning. When I won't be drinking lattes, cappuccinos and the like, while dunking donuts at Urban Coffee, I imagine I will be wandering round and taking in such sights as Ladyeez Do Comics (a growing comic movement that meet from time-to-time in Birmingham and other cities across the land), checking in with the[...]

The Electricomics app, heralded here at Bleeding Cool through a series of interviews last autumn into winter, launched with its four original comic properties on September 2nd, last Wednesday Electricomics can be found for free on iTunes, but its origin, derivation, and outlook is far less commercially driven Sprung from an idea for a background[...]

Leah & John go in-depth[...]

Electricomics, announced by press release in May of 2014, was an early arrival in the public eye, a project that had to be revealed to the media because an arts council funded research project with Alan Moore's name on the application simply couldn't be kept quiet for long So unlike other research and development projects[...]

I'd like to thank those who engaged in interviews this year on Bleeding Cool again for sharing their perspective and wisdom with us, and with our readers.

There's Electricomics I thought in one of the scenes for a feature film version, having kids reading a comic on a screen that doesn't exist, a screen that's flexible, and it would be called "Electricomics" Then we thought, "We wonder if you could expand that into the real world, and export it from the imagination"[...]

In a significant announcement landing this morning, (but which we hinted at yesterday from teases on social media), Alan Moore will be partnering with a team of creators and funding bodies to produce a digital comics app called Electricomics which will initially feature four original comics titles, and perhaps most surprisingly, an open-access platform for[...]
