Laderman named EVP/GM for Comic-Con/Lionsgate SVOD service
That nerd-themed SVOD (subscription video on demand) service from Comic-Con/Lionsgate we told you about a while ago, just got an EVP/GM in the form of Seth Laderman, formerly of Legendary and Nerdist. This new service will offer programming themed to Comic-con attendees as well as archival footage from CCI's library. Laderman was instrumental in growing the Nerdist brand via its podcast network and on YouTube, as well as programming such as All Star Celebrity Bowling, Magic Meltdown, The Doctor Who 50th Anniversary Live Show and the upcoming reboot of Electra Woman and Dyna Girl. At Legendary he ran operations and oversaw content acquisition and development for Amy Poehler’s Smart Girls at the Party and Felicia Day’s Geek & Sundry and worked with Spotify, Twtter and Xbox. So, It's safe to say that he knows the terrain.

The Beat podcasts with Top Cow’s Matt Hawkins on publishing economics

This week, I chat with Matt Hawkins, president and coo of Top Cow. Matt is more than just an inimitable Facebook poster (if you've read his stories about standing in line at the grocery store, you know what I mean.) He's also an industry veteran who's seen the highest highs and the lowest lows, and in this talk he dishes on the early days of Image and much more.
