Make Your Comic Book Ideas Go Boom...

Have you ever dreamed about creating your own comic book? Do you have a great story idea on your mind, but struggled to make it real because it’s too difficult to find an artist to collaborate with, get your submission accepted by a publisher and gather all the resources to self-publish your work?

That’s exactly what the new Silicon Valley based start-up, The StoryBoom, is trying to solve.

The idea behind the platform is "to be the easiest way to bring your comic book ideas to life".

Professional or aspiring writers submit their story ideas and the online community votes for the best one.

The selected story is then produced by The StoryBoom, which hires a professional team for the production of a high quality comic book.

The site also takes care of publishing and the only thing the author has to worry about is writing the comic script.

The first comic has already been created, chosen during a closed beta contest of 10 stories. The winner was NovaHope by Zé Wellington.

In NovaHope corporations have replaced countries, after a major economic crisis. The leading counsel for the United Corporations of the Planet, Adam Nova, promotes a fighting robot tournament. He is seeking to find the perfect soldier to be funded by his corporation. Surrounded by protests from groups fighting for the rights of robots, the tournament favourite is Vulcano. But things get complicated when Vulcano is kidnapped by a pro-robots terrorist group.
