It started out on the blogging platform Livejournal, and then moved to its own dedicated website.[1] The ACT-I-VATE collective features serialized graphic novels from over twenty-five hand-picked professional cartoonists (each of whom generally adds a new episode weekly), and is updated daily. ACT-I-VATE's artists are unpaid, and produce their work without editorial oversight. ACT-I-VATE is also free to view. In addition to the high-quality comics, the site is known for its vocal community of readers and the lengthy discussion threads between artist and reader. HistoryOriginsACT-I-VATE debuted on February 1, 2006, with eight cartoonists, and added four more members on April 5, 2006. Since then, the collective has added new hand-picked cartoonists at a regular rate to achieve its current membership. From the web to printACT-I-VATE rose to prominence when many of its artists, including Haspiel, Michel Fiffe, Mike Cavallaro, Dan Goldman, and Nick Bertozzi, began to receive publishing deals. Haspiel and Fiffe's three-issue mini-series, Brawl, a "creature romance double feature" featuring Haspiel's "Immortal" (starring Billy Dogma) and Fiffe's "Panorama," which both originated on ACT-I-VATE, was published by Image Comics in the Fall of 2007. Similarly, [https://web.archive.org/web/20071223001010/http://paradewithfireworks.com/ Parade (with Fireworks)], by Mike Cavallaro, began on ACT-I-VATE, was first excerpted in New York magazine[2] and later published by Image. In 2009, IDW Publishing released The Act-i-vate Primer, featuring 16 original comics stories by members of the collective. Notes1. ^Official site 2. ^"Comics Parade," New York References
