Web Comic Wrap-up

Talk About Comics – Joey Manley has a nice little write up of Scott McCloud’s book Reinventing Comics. This is a response to the recent drama over the viability of webcomics as a medium. Manley makes several good points concerning how the same old topics are being debated (infinite canvas, micropayments, etc.) even though it’s been 5-8 years since Reinventing Comics was published and how the target audience for the book was to bring comic readers to the web.

Blank Label Comics – Darn these guys for being sneakier and more conniving then us. I don’t know how long it took them but they register comicwindows.com, the url mentioned inthe recent NY Times article.I’m Just Saying – Phil Kahn has posted his auctioned essay for Save Connecticon. The winner was Wade Clark who requested a review of his webcomic Ocular Trama. It’s an insightful review that has me worried about repeating Phil if OT makes it to the top of my review list.
