Amazon Tries Its Hand At More Original (And Crowdsourced) Content With Blackburn Burrow Digital Comic

blackburn burrowAmazon, like its competitor Netflix, has been making some moves to increase the amount of exclusive, original content under its brand, and today it took one more step in that direction with the news that Amazon Studios will be launching its first made-in-house digital comic, a version of the "Blackburn Burrow" Civil War story.Originally a screenplay from Jay Levy, the story is also being used by Amazon to try something else: crowdsourced creation. The company says that the idea to launch the digital comic comes out of its own community feedback -- so essential to Amazon's whole business model in the form of user reviews. The project, it says, will be used to continue to gather further feedback to decide whether it should then develop the Levy screenplay into a full motion picture, which would also be developed by Amazon Studios.
