We’re beyond excited to announce that #TheZoneCast Balance arc will be an animated series on @peacockTV.
Projects from the likes of @TheNormanLear, @mindykaling, Amy Poehler and Will Forte are in the works as the NBCUniversal-backed streamer Peacock ramps up for beyond its expected April launch

Today we were made aware of the terms of contracts between artists who have been featured in The Adventure Zone graphic novels and our publisher, First Second. These artists were not adequately paid for their work, and their art was put under excessively long exclusivity clauses.

We are asking our publisher to lift the exclusivity terms, effective immediately, and to significantly increase the payments to artists featured in future books. We will also be compensating artists from past books an additional $500, out of pocket.
