Think of D2D as a work onto itself. It doesn't matter if you're one issue in, ten issues in, or you haven't even started yet. D2D will put you through the paces of who your characters are, what your story is and why it matters to the audience, and win or lose, both you and your comic will come out stronger for it.

What is "Direct to Development"?
Direct-to-Development is the Zeros 2 Heroes initiative that gives comic book creators (like you) a shot at being professionally produced. By combining the will of the people and the savvy of industry experts, we think we've hit upon a great formula for discovering new talent.
The process starts today and the competition is open to anyone. If you've got a pitch on the site, Z2H members will be able to collect and vote for your story until December 19th. Your votes will determine a short-list of six comic pitches which will then be reviewed by our advisory committee of industry experts. The winning pitch will be announced on January 15th.
If Your Story is Selected...
Our deal works this way: you provide the awesome storytelling and we will...
- Foot the bill to produce a professionally edited and illustrated 22 page comic. You get full creative input every step of the way.
- Unleash our mighty marketing machine to gain publicity for the new property.
- Exploit our industry connections to take the finished work as far as it can go.
So what are you waiting for? This competition is open to everyone: Canadians, Americans, Ukranians, Lilliputians, etc. Start polishing and pimping those pitches... As Richard Pulfer (the winner of the first D2D initiative) can tell you, it's worth the effort!
