Blogger Kevin Church and artist Benjamin Birdie have teamed up for a new webcomic called The Rack that’s set in a comic shop. Church posted a press release on his blog:
“Not to gush too much, but Birdie’s totally the Jack Kirby to my Stan Lee,” said Church about their collaborative process. “I can come up with a whisper-thin idea that he manages to blow into a full-page epic with nary a complaint. He also knows better than to interrupt me when I’m drinking.”
While Church is primarily known as a writer, this time around he’s taking the Aaron Sorkin / John Wells approach to the strip and assuming the role of a “showrunner.” He wrote the series bible and will contribute a few scripts a month, but Birdie will do what they both consider “the heavy lifting” with both writing and art chores.
The strip will be updated on Mondays and Friday.
