"We're so incredibly excited to produce and develop a channel based on what we think the fans will enjoy the most," said Felicia Day, cofounder, producer, and star of Geek & Sundry. "From Dark Horse Comics to Wil Wheaton, there's a killer team of talent on camera and off that will help build on the success of The Guild and Dragon Age: Redemption."
"This is an exciting new extension of our comics business. Our technology is state of the art and the tales are extremely engaging. Add Erik's genius to some of the greatest creators in the comics business and the project becomes irresistible," Said Dark Horse President Mike Richardson.
