YouTuber Jacksepticeye spoke to ComicBook.com about his new comic book!
YouTuber Seán 'Jacksepticeye' McLoughlin is launching a new comic book and he, appropriately, sat down with ComicBook.com to discuss it. Jacksepticeye is one of the biggest YouTubers on the planet with over 30.5 million subscribers. While he's largely known for his gaming content, he has used his platform to successfully catapult himself into other business opportunities.
My involvement in it is that we created the characters and gave them all the information, all the background, all the sort of lore that we had on them, and then we teamed up with some writers to flesh out their stories a bit more, and people who knew the comic book space a bit better than I did, and some artists who are... I mean, I'm not a writer or an artist, so I delegate to people who are much better in those spaces than I am.
I do more than I realize I'm doing half the time, because until you ream it off that I'm like, oh yeah, I have tapped into all those different types of things. But I think right now, I'm trying to just focus on the ones like a comic book. I would like to do a narrative podcast at some point in that same universe, and a movie TV show style of thing is always on the table for me, because I just love live action. I love directing and cinematography and that whole space.
Have you always had an appetite for these kinds of different mediums and being creative? I'm curious what you wanted to do as a kid growing up before you did YouTube and stuff, and maybe how that has evolved. Yeah, I think it's kind of like a 50/50. I think it's more what you make of it, because you can get really burnt out on doing it, and I have had that in the past where I took on too much, and half of it I didn't want to do, and then I got burnt out. I think now, consolidating everything down into more manageable things and stuff that I'm really passionate about makes it a lot easier. I think it can become really normalized if you allow it to be.
Do you see yourself moving away from content creation to pursue some of these other mediums, whether it be comics or something else in a more steady manner? Obviously I'm in a much more privileged position, because my channel was pretty massive by the time I started doing that, and not a lot of people can afford to actually take a break from that grind. So for me, it was just realizing that I'm burnt out, figuring out what I want to do about it, taking some time off, going to therapy, getting certain things like anxieties and depressions and ADHD and all that stuff figured out and medicated.
I think these days, it's gotten a lot better because there's a lot more diversity of people doing it. There's way more types of content, there's way more styles of content, the budget and the production value and everything is way higher. It's just a different space now, I think, with the amount of people who are growing.
Are you able to truly process the idea of 30 and a half million people? I've always told people who are smaller and only bring 10 viewers in on Twitch or whatever. I'm like,"Imagine 10 people in the room with you." Now, 30 and a half million, I'd probably not tell someone that. But YouTube was just creators and communities sort of melded together and that one, or that two-way street, being able to chat with each other. I really liked that aspect of why YouTube takes off, and being able to chat with people. And I like the sort of normal person vibe that YouTube can have, and it would be a shame to see if production values and everything kept skyrocketing and kept going up and up and more networks and more channels started growing substantially.
Luckily, YouTube is such a big platform that both things can exist at the same time. It's such a diverse ecosystem that we can all kind of do whatever we want. There used to be a misnomer years ago that it was like,"Well, if somebody does something, then I can't do it, because they stole all the views," and that's just not how the platform works at all. So thankfully, there's room for all of us to be able to grow and do our own thing at the same time.
