I had some computer issues over the weekend but still managed to catch some interesting bits… Project Fanboy talks about legal stuff for comics. And Wil Wheaton talks about some self publishing resources. Having little icon pictures to identify different topics on our sites is a nice visual hook to catch the reader’s attention. I’m [...]

There are pretty open guidelines, a ton of prizes and a free year’s worth of adspace on the site. All you have to do is tell the origin [...]

Woah. Lots going on. I’ve debated going to a semi-daily update but sometimes noticing what the longer trends are provides more practical use. In any case, there’s arguably too much this week: Webcomic Finds reviews Jovian Luck, the Webcomic Asylum interviews Hatpire and Legend rates Penny Arcade. Art in Sequence looks closely at four popular [...]

This is a bonus Strip News, filled with all of the goings-on and derring-do of the comic world. At least, it’s the things I found noteworthy… Xeric hands out awards while Comics 212 has an article about a couple of creators, book cover design and the publishing industry. MPD57 brings us a snapshot of each [...]

No time for fancy words today because there are a million things to see. On to the news: The Kurgan in Highlander is one of the better villains in movieland. I wonder how this comic based on him will fare? We already know how this comic turned out, but You’ll Have That has posted it’s [...]

Here’s a few comic distractions… We get to see a little behind the scenes art process of the Eben07 comic. We also get interviews with the editor of Sketch magazine and Bengo and Pug.

Here we go with some things I found provoking: I asked and it was provided! Casey & Scotty animated. At long last. That’s great stuff for just taking an hour to put it together. Courtesy of Comixtalk, we also know Marvelous Patric has a new comic titled Picture Imperfect. It’s got a web-ma self rating [...]

Sometimes I have thoughts to share but this time I have questions. How is a webcomic going to be successful? How will it provide a living to the artist and their family? Bengo of The Floating Lightbulb had the idea to seize upon the business model provided in the Half Pixel book “How To Make [...]

This week is a grab bag of webcomic news and interesting bits. Fantasy Webcomic Deathmatch on MPD57. Don’t miss it. I’d love to see an animated Casey & Scotty, wouldn’t you? I think this webcomic trading card idea has some great potential. Imagine if these were images that comic creators placed as an easter egg [...]
