Rooster Teeth Is Teaming Up With DC For RWBY And Gen:LOCK Comics

Rooster Teeth has evolved over its fifteen-year history from boutique creator of Halo parodies to major production house for a young adult-oriented animation niche that they fill pretty fabulously.

Now, DC Comics is getting in the action, taking Rooster Teeth’s two biggest franchises, RWBY and gen:LOCK, and adapting them into digital comics form, DC announced via press release.

First, RWBY, the story of a group of young warrior women fighting evil in an elaborate fantasy world, will be adapted into an ongoing by writer Marguerite Bennett (Power Rangers), collaborating with artists Mirka Andolfo (Unnatural) and Arif Prianto (Deathstroke).

Meanwhile, Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing (Green Arrow) will co-write gen:LOCK with art by Carlo Barbieri (Green Lanterns). gen:LOCK, which we’ve covered before, is a mecha show that’s pretty compelling, and would work well in comic form.

Both books are set to launch later this year, with RWBY coming in late August and gen:LOCK in September.

Both books will start as twice-monthly digital comics, to be later collected as monthly print issues. Jim Lee will draw variant covers for both debut print issues, in case you ever wanted to see Ruby’s giant red gunscythe drawn by Jim Lee (and honestly, why wouldn’t you?).

Below is the standard cover for RWBY #1, via DC.

The Video Game Industry Can't Go On Like This

At about this time next year, we’ll have a pretty good idea of what the next generation of video games will look like. New consoles will likely be shown off, bold new streaming initiatives will begin to launch, and we’ll see all the wonderful kinds of games they will bring us. All these new things will come, and we’ll close the book on a generation that saw the industry that makes games come under greater scrutiny than ever before, as studios shuttered, developers burned out and toxic work culture fostered environments hostile to marginalised people.

The Most Interesting Facts About The Average Aussie Gamer

The latest bi-annual report on the average Australian gamer is out, and we've already gone through some of the main takeaways. The average Aussie gamer is still 34 years old, and both women and men are playing slightly less per day on average. But why the drop in figures? What does the picture look like for Aussies under the age of 18, or Aussies over the age of 50? Why are Australians watching or playing in esports? Some more of those questions came up during an roadshow on Tuesday morning, where the chief author of the report since its inception over a decade ago took media and the local games industry through the findings.
