Con ayuda del Arts and Media Research Council de Inglaterra, y del desarrollador Ocasa Studios, Moore y un equipo colaboradores se encuentran en la etapa de desarrollo de lo que esperan se convierta en una experiencia única de lectura y creación de comics. Todo empezó con una visión bizarra de esas que tiene el barbas, y describe el proyecto como:
Moore is pushing boundaries again with Electricomics – an app that is both a comic book and an easy-to-use open source toolkit. Being open source and free, the app has wide potential not just for industry professionals, but also businesses, arts organisations and of course comic fans and creators everywhere.
Rather than simply transferring comic narrative from the page to the screen, we intend to craft stories expressly devised to test the storytelling limits of this unprecedented technology. To this end we are assembling teams of the most cutting edge creators in the industry and then allowing them input into the technical processes in order to create a new capacity for telling comic book stories.
It will then be made freely available to all of the exciting emergent talent that is no doubt out there, just waiting to be given access to the technical toolkit that will enable them to create the comics of the future.El proyecto iniciará lanzando cuatro propiedades hechas por los siguientes creadores:
Big Nemo, which will be set in the 1930′s, in which Alan Moore revisits Winsor McCay’s “most popular hero”.
Cabaret Amygdala, a “modernist horror” from writer Peter Hogan (Terra Obscura).
Red Horse, a comic that will appear on the anniversary of the beginning of World War I, from Garth Ennis (Preacher, The Boys) and Danish artist Peter Snejbjerg (World War X) to “take us back to the trenches”.
Sway, a “slick new time travel science fiction story” from Leah Moore and John Reppion (Sherlock Holmes – The Liverpool Demon, 2000 AD).
Como toda idea de Moore, sin duda suena ambiciosa...y fumada. Solo el tiempo dirá si será algo digno de verse, pero al menos sacaremos comics nuevos de él y de Garth Ennis en el proceso...a menos que todos salgan de pleito.

Habrá pleito. Y si no seguro sólo serán cómics con vocesitas, ruidos y destellos.
