Me and my friend made a comic book
And guess how long it took*
In this interview with Digital Strips, which is mainly about his current problems with Platinum Studios, D. J. Coffman reveals he’s working with the band The Flobots on a webcomic. Called Vote for Change, the plan is for stories to be inspired by Flobots fans:
Welcome to the Flobots webcomic Beta launch– I call this the “beta” launch because there are still some things I want to add to the site before a bigger public push. Currently there are three updates up now, and the story will begin running daily, M-F this Thursday, June 12th.
I’ve met with Jonny 5 and Brer Rabbit from the band and we have many ideas we’d like to infuse into not only the stories here, but also the overall experience. The stories here are inspired by you, from tales the band hears while out on the road, emails we receive– they all go into a big melting pot of creative energy that we’ll remix and inject into the Flobots comic. The end result will be stories that not only entertain but make you think, feel, move and inspire you.
The webcomics site can be found here.

Looks interesting.

This is pretty damn cool. I remember reading an article on the Flobots that said how two of the band members met in school and created an entire fictional superhero universe together, so I’m interested to see how this’ll turn out.
Also, I’m a little biased because they’re a local band.
