About time.Responding to strong industry opinion, colorists will now be eligible to receive royalties and will also receive cover credits on issues they've worked on. Digital-first creative teams are also eligible for participation for the first time, having formally been paid at a flat rate.

This is fantastic news. I'm glad colorists get credit for the work they put in as well.

What took them so long on the whole colorist credit thing? The work of colorists nowadays is clearly an artform of its own.

Yeah, I've been completely "wow'd" by a lot of colorists' work, especially lately, so it's fantastic to see them get their due.

Agreed on the colorists.
It is hard to believe digital first comic creators were paid at a flat rate. That is seriously uncool.

Positive changes
Nice! It's always good to see the industry grow like this. DC has some brilliant colourists that make the book so vibrant and made me appreciate a lot of things. I'm happy for them getting to be much more included like this.

I think it's great, but it seems like this should have been done all along.
Regardless, I'm happy this has happened.
