Panelfly has announced at SDCC that they are forming a new digital media company called SYN, which, in addition to comics, will produce material for television, movies, animation, and a lot more.
Partnering with Panelfly will be former executives from Sony, Hulu, and AOL.
Founder and CEO of SYN Kirt Mcmaster gave the site Geeks of Doom the following statement:“[SYN is] focused on the ‘fantastic’ that will redefine this space across all platforms — with a focus on supermobile extending into the digital home experience.”
You can sign up for updates on SYN at their placeholder website; the target date for its launch will be 2011.
I find it fascinating that a digital comics provider who I associated so strongly with just comics has decided to transform into a more broad-based company. Does it dilute their standing in the digital comics race, or just empower them to reach the mass-market as a whole far more effectively?
