WEBTOON Announces New Partnership With DC Comics

WEBTOONs has made an exciting announcement for those on the platform, they have partnered with DC comics to bring some stand alone comics set in the DC universe to their digital platform. Each of these stand alone stories should appeal to everyone as they require no previous knowledge about the characters featured to be enjoyed. I’m excited about that because most of my DC knowledge doesn’t come from any of the comics which, as comics are wont to do, can get very convoluted in their story lines. Here is what Ken Kim, WEBTOON CEO had to say:

“I’m so happy WEBTOON is able to work with DC on bringing unique stories to our platform,” said WEBTOON CEO, Ken Kim. “WEBTOON is a great bridge to a huge worldwide audience of young comic fans, and DC is home to some of the greatest Super Hero stories on the planet. The potential to express famous IP through our platform, which is mobile native and focused on ease of access – is super exciting.”

If you haven’t looked at the huge catalogue of comics on WEBTOON then I would recommend checking them out. I’m excited to learn more about which artists will be contributing to these new stories and which characters from the huge selection they choose to spotlight.
