Komikoo.com is an Indonesian web comic community portal. It functions both as a showcase (members have the ability to upload their works on the website) and a communication hub ( chat, shoutbox, forum, and personal messaging features). Although they have similar names, Komikoo.com is not affiliated with Komikoo, the Malaysian comic publication, the similarity of their names is unintentional.

History

Komikoo.com started its operation in 2009, although the basic idea was conceived back in 2007 in the form of a similarly featured but differently named Komikamu.com.
In early 2010, the second version of the website was launched. This version now featured a Story category into which a comic script writer may upload their works.
In November 2010, Komikoo.com won a SparxUp award for Best User Generated Content ^[1].
Following the award, several mainstream national publications such as Detik.com ^[2], Kompas ^[3], and Chip Magazine ^[4] has written articles about Komikoo.com.
On February 2011, Komikoo.com released a new segment for Illustrations allowing members to upload one-off illustrations as well as comics and stories.

Basic Concept

The basic concept of Komikoo.com is to provide an online gallery which is specifically designed for comics and stories. Artists can then upload their work onto this website and share it with their readers so they can enjoy the comics with similar experience as reading their offline counterparts. The distribution of comics via the internet was intended to bypass the difficulties and costs of logistics for physical comic distribution in the Indonesian archipelago. It would also make the communication between comic artists, writers, their readers more direct.

Monthly Events

Komikoo.com holds monthly events in which the members are expected to create and upload a work using a predetermined theme. The themes are usually derived from current commonly known event / happenings, for example, the event for February 2011 was "Valentine's Day" ^[5]

Admin's Choice

Each week, Komikoo.com 's administrator will select a few notable works. These works are considered the best comics, stories, and illustrations on Komikoo.com^[6].

Exclusive Comics

To promote the website, Komikoo.com has acquired the rights to several comics. These comics are only available on the website and to read it one has to be registered as a member of Komikoo.com. Right now there are three titles of Exclusive Comics available, they are:

Carakan by Alex Irzaqi
Reincarnated by Mimi N
Para Pendekar (The Warriors) by Reza Aribuwana
