One of the long-running problems with the comics industry is the fact that publishers tend to reap the economic benefits of a comic book's success while creators are left with little reward, which is precisely why a new subscription-based comics platform has been created to help support and reward the creative minds behind comics.
The Zestworld comics platform provides a place where writers, illustrators and artists can share their work whilst also getting a reasonable share of economic benefit by allowing them to enjoy monetary compensation if their works are adapted into TV shows, films, digital series or other tangible collectibles and products.
Set to be launched in early 2022, the Zestworld comics platform is looking to fix the broken economic model of the comic book industry by allowing creators to gain their fair share of financial reward for their work.
