Zuda also provides a stage for creators to showcase even the writers and artists who don't make it. Perazza stated in his interview he was a big fan of Sam & Lilah, and he wanted it to win the competition. Black Cherry Bombshells won that year instead. However, Sam & Lilah did find a good home at the Act-I-Vate site, and Perazza was more than happy to direct readers over. So it's not a kiss of death just because you didn't win. Other have ended up on Shadowline, and other have gone the independent route, picking up the free publicity from taking part in the Zuda contest. Frankly, all a lot of great writers and artists need these days is publicity, and Zuda provides that. That makes Perazza, Gallaher, and Co. good eggs in my book.

I thought that was a very interesting post from Scott as well.

While I honestly don’t know much about Zuda’s seedy underbelly and back stage policies, every competitor I’ve talked to (winners and losers) loves the whole process. It’s more than just a possible path to publication, it’s a community. A community based around drawings of zombies, and is that what the internet is all about?

My main complaint with Zuda is the stupid Flash-based interface. It’s not an improvement, Zuda. It’s just a hassle.
