Lazy Sundays
May 31st, 2009 — Strip News
It was one thing after another this week and I never got to write a review. I did find a critique feature on TNP Press that I hope continues and I’ll point you to that in place of my review for now. I’ll write double this week – one for Saturday and one for next [...]

Patches
May 27th, 2009 — What-Did-I-Learn?
What Did I Learn? weekly webcomic reviews by Delos (this is a repost) As you can see, Patches by Kelly Vivanco has its own look and feel. Along with the brown paper background and single line work, it has a very particular sort of humor. In many comics, the humor is driven by the characters. [...]

Lots of art biz stuff… Daryl Cagle says we should all self-syndicate our comics out. And to do that, some would suggest we write out our scripts. This can be a little intimidating because we tend to think visually not in words but here’s one fun, creative way to write out your script in a [...]
Hero
May 24th, 2009 — Uncategorized, What-Did-I-Learn?
What Did I Learn? “Pretending is actually a lot like dreaming. But dreaming is easy.” Hero by Hwei Lim is a comic that has some depth to it. The self description sums things up very nicely: “HERO is a story about a perfectly ordinary boy with no memory of the past and no urgency for [...]

Okay, we’ve all seen the news about the Captain Britain comic and Shojo Beat magazine being cancelled, who will probably star as Thor and Loki in the next Marvel movie, the Wolverine nay-sayers are speaking up, Star Trek has mainstream fans again and TV networks seem to be ending the popular chows and promoting the [...]
Little Creature
May 20th, 2009 — What-Did-I-Learn?
What Did I Learn? weekly webcomic reviews by Delos (this is a repost) Little Creature by Ursula Vernon is a different kind of webcomic. As a matter of fact, it challenges my notions about what a comic “is.” I quickly found myself thinking mostly about the way this comic is set up. You see, my [...]

MPD57 reviewed Cubicles while Pigs Of The Industry looked at Gone Zombie and Lily of the Valley. And the Star Chamber’s prejudging of this month’s Zuda entries is [...]
The Horrible Pirates
May 13th, 2009 — What-Did-I-Learn?
What Did I Learn? weekly webcomic reviews by Delos (this is a repost) The Horrible Pirates by Viper Comics is a crazy, wacky kind of comic that screams constantly forward to some ill advised and doomed fate. Really. I don’t know how the current storyline will end, but the phrase “doomed fate” is an understatement. [...]

More on Diamond and site statistics… I see the last paragraph in this article says that Diamond isn’t the bad guy and comic sales were up 1.5% in 2008. I realize that everyone needs to eat but good comics are more widely varied than what will meet an arbitrary sales threshold. Just sayin’. And then [...]
