I’m sure you’re all awash in ComicCon and Moon Landing anniversary news which all the cool sites are covering nicely. Here, we’ll stick to a week and a half’s worth of comic meat and potatoes… I Am Legend recaps their webcomic reviews and Pigs of the Industry covers Metropolitan Siege (and so does MPD57), The [...]

Being ill this last weekend gave me a bit of free time to poke around and find some interesting novelties… Let’s start with Webcomic Overlook’s review of Raven’s Dojo which, if you read the comments, also nets us some Dragonball Z news from Sly Eagle. Morgan Wick reviews 8 Bit Theater and Pigs of the [...]

Is it just me or is it getting harder to track all the interesting comic news? Webcomics Critique told us about A Fine Example and Shattered Myth.

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.

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 [...]
