“For many comic fans, superpowers and battling evil are the foundational formula for an exciting story,” said David S. Lee, Vice President of Content, WEBTOON U.S. “WEBTOON creators have brought incredible new energy, creativity, and diversity to action comics, giving fans a new generation of heroes to cheer for. Great ideas and content can come from anywhere, and we can’t wait to see what thrilling adventures WEBTOON creators submit for the 2022 Call to Action Contest.”
The contest is looking for the webcomic platform’s next big action hit, as action and shonen have long been the most popular genre of manga.
In addition to looking for their next action hit, WEBTOON is also promoting some of the platform’s biggest existing hits in the genre, including the the acclaimed fantasy manhwa Tower of God, unOrdinary, and The God of High School, a popular battle series that was adapted into an anime by director Sunghoo Park, who is now best known for his work on the Jujutsu Kaisen franchise. Action readers may also enjoy additional titles like Ordeal, Gul, Doom Breaker, and Code Adam.
Readers can access the WEBTOON platform online through its website or mobile app to browse its extensive library of action series and digital content.
