Enter a new kind of Gotham City in DC x WEBTOON’s Gotham by Daylight

Posted on by Leave a comment

Today, WEBTOON and DC officially launch Gotham By Daylight, a new horror anthology from Everything is Fine creator Mike Birchall.

Set in a Gotham City trapped in constant daylight, Gotham by Daylight follows ordinary citizens as they encounter increasingly disturbing supernatural events connected to a mysterious entity known as The Daylight.

This chilling tale uncovers something terrible lurking in Gotham’s light. The days are getting longer, and the people are acting strange. At the center of it all is Gotham’s daylight protector, Duke Thomas. With a group of ordinary citizens, he will face his greatest challenge yet as his friends are targeted one by one and pushed to their breaking points. There is no night, and without night, no darkness. And without darkness, there can be no Batman.

As the stories unfold, seemingly disconnected encounters begin to converge around a mysterious park – one that may have always existed in Gotham City, or may never have existed at all.

Check out Gotham By Daylight now on WEBTOON.

Tapas releases Details of its Closure

Posted on by Leave a comment
tapas logo

In late September, news broke that Kakao Webtoon and Tapas were shutting down or possibly transitioning to Kakao Page. Details weren’t released at that time, leaving a lot of questions for readers as well as the creators who use the platform.

Now, in two posts, Tapas has released details for both readers that use the platform and the creators who use it.

Tapas will end its service on March 31, 2027. Users will no longer be able to acquire ink starting October 1, 2026 and any remaining must be used by March 31, 2027.

The FAQ doesn’t have all of the answers, but there is a lot featuring key dates, account access, and information for creators.

There’s no information for easily transitioning from the platform, the platform and its comics will just cease to exist it seems.

The shutdown is another example that highlights the lack of ownership with some digital entertainment and consumers are at the mercy of the corporation and platform.

DC GO! Crossover and Event “Runway to Ruin” Launches This Week

Posted on by Leave a comment

DC has announced the launch of “Runway to Ruin,” the first-ever crossover event for DC GO!, DC’s mobile-first webcomics imprint available on DC Universe Infinite.

Beginning October 1 with Runway to Ruin Alpha and concluding October 29 with Runway to Ruin Omega, both written by Patrick R. Young with art by Andrew Drilon, the month-long event brings together characters from five fan-favorite DC GO! original series in a connected adventure. All episodes will be available to read free with registration on DC Universe Infinite.

In DC’s “Runway to Ruin,” characters from the DC GO! universe are drawn into an intergalactic fashion showcase where a mysterious new villain is weaponizing their most embarrassing memories. To stop the powerful new threat known as King Cringe, Harley Quinn, Nightwing, Jon Kent, Billy Batson and more must confront the moments they’d rather forget before they lose everything.

Participating series in DC’s “Runway to Ruin” crossover include:

  • Nothing Butt Nightwing — series by Patrick R. Young, Moy R. Marco
  • Harley Quinn in Paradise — series by CRC Payne, Siobhan Chiffon, Cathy Le
  • Warriors and a Wee Wonder — series by Stephanie Williams, Jane Pica, Emily Pearson, and Dominic Bustamante
  • Jon Kent: This Internship Is My Kryptonite — series by Sam Camp, Daimon Hampton, Seraji
  • The Magical Mysteries of Shazam! — series by Steve Orlando, Giopota

Following the crossover event, DC GO! will expand with three all-new original series:

  • Supergirl: Accidental Chef, where Kara Zor-El sets out to find herself and discovers the healing power of cooking as an apprentice aboard a floating food truck
  • Green Lanterns: Bad Boys for Light, where Hal Jordan and John Stewart discover that some of the coldest cases in the universe may be connected
  • Finding My GCPD Dad a Girlfriend, where Barbara Gordon takes it upon herself to help her perpetually single father find love

Several existing DC GO! series will continue after the event with new seasons and status quo changes, including:

  • Poison Ivy in Briarwood by writer CRC Payne and artist Bailie Rosenlund, continuing the story that began in Harley Quinn in Paradise
  • Warriors and a ‘Tween Wonder by writer Stephanie Williams and artist Dominic Bustamante, continuing the adventures of Diana of Themyscira following Warriors and a Wee Wonder
  • Additional new chapters of Jon Kent: This Internship Is My Kryptonite, The Magical Mysteries of Shazam!, and Nothing Butt Nightwing

The new titles launch in November, expanding the DC GO! lineup with new comedy, romance and adventure stories. Original DC GO! series consist of 26 episodes per season and are released on a weekly or bi-weekly schedule.

October will also mark a major milestone for DC GO! beyond “Runway to Ruin.” Beginning October 6, readers can pick up the first print collections of select DC GO! originals, including Nothing Butt Nightwing Vol. 1, Harley Quinn in Paradise Vol. 1, and Renaissance of Raven. Available wherever books are sold, these collections bring some of DC GO!’s most popular and award-winning webcomics to print for the first time.

Readers can catch up on participating series and follow the complete “Runway to Ruin” event on DC Universe Infinite beginning October 1. DC GO! features original stories and classic DC adventures presented in an easy-to-read vertical scrolling format designed for mobile devices. With a focus on comedy, romance, adventure and character-driven storytelling, DC GO! brings the DC Universe to readers wherever they are.

Kakao Webtoon and Tapas Shutting Down or Being Merged into Kakao Page?

Posted on by

There’s news swirling that Tapas, the U.S. based webtoon platform will soon be shutting down… or is it being consolidated into a new platform? As reported by Maeil Business, Kakao Entertainment is consolidating its webtoon and web novel platforms under Kakao Page. That would mean that Kakao Webtoon and Tapas would be shut down in their current form, and it’s unclear as to what will be moved over to Kakao Page.

Currently Kakao Entertainment runs Kakao Page, Kakao Webtoon, and Tapas, covering webtoons and web novels. Those platforms would instead be merged into Kakao Page. Kakao Page was launched in 2013 while Kakao Webtoon was launched in 2003 by Daum which was acquired by Kakao in 2014. Kakao acquired Tapas and Radish Media in 2021.

The news says the new platform will “enhance the content, user data, artificial intelligence technology and operational capabilities accumulated by each platform.” It would also centralize 16,000 original stories.

The reaction online from creators is negative with the common theme being they haven’t been informed of the change. The original article said they’d be informed “shortly.” Kakao Entertainment stated it will inform users of specific integration timelines and methods on the 29th.

It’s unclear if the content on Tapas will be moved over to the new platform or completely shutdown and Kakao Entertainment and Tapas haven’t made an official announcement. We’ve asked for more details.

The Kakao Labor Union has criticized the company stating that “explanations regarding the Tapas closure process, financial losses, and measures for employee relocation, voluntary retirement, and user refunds, as well as content and data protection, were insufficiently communicated to employees.”

We’ll have more information when Kakao makes an official statement and releases more detail.

Marvel Originals Announced at SDCC:

Tony’s Girl

Creative Team: CRC Payne (Writer), StarBite (Artist)

For 17-year-old Tony Stark, life is effortless. It’s the kind of thing that tends to happen when you’re wealthy, popular, and a mile smarter than everyone else in the room. After graduating from MIT, Tony expects to spend the summer pushing the envelope of innovation at his Stark Industries internship. Howard Stark has other ideas. Frustrated by the bad press from Tony’s underage partying, Howard intends to show the world that the de facto heir to the Stark empire is worthy of the mantle — especially as Howard works on a deal to push rival Creighton McCall out of the electronics industry for good. That is how Tony finds himself in a stuffy etiquette class with Meredith McCall. Thrown together, Tony and Meredith are a recipe for disaster. To Meredith, Tony is smug, spoiled, and represents everything she hates about her father’s world. But the line between hate and love is a thin one, and neither Tony nor Meredith can deny the spark between them. As understanding and friendship blossom, so too do deeper feelings, leading to a first love neither one of them saw coming. Too bad their fathers will kill them for dating the enemy.

Their search for the truth leads them to a remote space outpost, where the protagonist encounters a Vulcan who seems to recognize her—and provides a device that unlocks fragments of her memories, but only in fleeting moments. As tensions rise and alliances form under pressure, the group uncovers a shocking reality: most of them are among the Federation’s most wanted, bound for a reeducation facility. Hidden among them are a bounty hunter and a covert Federation operative, complicating trust even further.

As identities are revealed and loyalties tested, the crew must decide who they are—and who they’re willing to become.
