(posted this on the GlobalComix forum first, but wanted to see if there are any comic creators left here on HIVE)
Hey fellow Comic Creators!
I’m reaching out to see if anyone’s interested in collaborating on a shared comic universe—a creator-owned setting where our individual comics can coexist, intersect, and build toward something bigger.
The idea is simple:
We create the world and core rules together.
Each creator tells their own story within that shared setting.
Our characters can cameo, crossover, or collide however we choose.
Events and universe-spanning arcs can bring it all together (when we want them to).
You keep full ownership of your characters and titles. This is about expanding reach, sharing audiences, and building something collaborative and creator-first.
Whether you write superhero parodies, gritty sci-fi, slice-of-life with a twist, or something completely wild—we’ll build a universe flexible enough to support it all.
If you’re publishing here and want to be part of something new—and totally grassroots—let’s talk.
Drop a comment, message me, or reply to this thread if you're in!
Let’s create something awesome, together.
You know, I'm really liking that idea! Much (too much) of my time the past two years has been devoted to keeping up on the crypto markets and managing my portfolio, but that'll change once this crypto bull market inevitably peaks and peters out in the coming months and I don't need to monitor the markets so much. I'll message you directly too, but for the public here what kind of comic story do you have in mind?
Sorry, missed this post. I pictured something like the Image comics Wildstorm verse. Where anyone can bring a title to the table, then there could be crossovers. Maybe someone has an idea for a lone hero title, but that character could also be part of an Avengers-type team.
Gotcha. My notion I've been playing with is a parallel world situation, with the primary world coexisting with a parallel fantasy world and elements of the story playing out in both worlds and occasionally elements of each world interacting with the other (our world coming to grips with an encroachment in fantasy elements, and the other doing the same with tech elements of our world). Perhaps the best comparison I can come up with is if you combine the Spellsinger series by Alan Dean Foster, the Monster Hunter series by Larry Correia, and the d20 Modern Urban Arcana RPG. It won't be as outright silly as Nerd By Northwest, but like Spellsinger or Buffy the Vampire Slayer it will usually have an element of humor.
That does sound like fun. I actually just had a brainstorm for a new project, and it has to do with Green Ronin announcing that a 4th edition of Mutants & Masterminds is in the works.
Apart from @northwestnomad I am not seeing many comics here these days. @arseniclullaby pops in now and then. Years ago we had @joyoftech, but they left. I think we agree that Hive is a cool platform for comics. I read some on GoComics, but I don't have an account on there.
