Just a couple bits of news as I scuttle through my busy day. Day Free Press has added a new comic to its already impressive list of member strips. A Lesson Learned but the Damage is Irreversible has joined sides with the likes of Little Gamers, Dinosaur Comics, White Ninja and others. I’m not to familiar with the comic but I checked it out after seeing it on the group’s web site. From the three I read it should be interesting. It definitely has a unique style that I haven’t seen too much of before. Should be an interesting addition to anyone’s daily checkings.

I received an email today with some rather odd news. Apparently someone who moderates or edits or whatever on wikipedia has been cleaning house, deleting several webcomic entries and voting for others to be removed as well. Here’s part of the message that was sent to us:

“There’s been a bunch of webcomics removed from Wikipedia or currently on the chopping block… including “The Outer Circle”. Continue reading →

Aaron Williams of Nodwick, Full Frontal Nerdity (my current favorite name for a web comic) and PS238 has officially his the big time. He announced yesterday on his site that he will be having a script he wrote published by Marvel comics. The story will be available in Spiderman Unlimited #13 (scroll down a little for the info) and will be drawn by Casey Jones and Tim Smith so it should look great.

Long running sci-fi strip, Schlock Mercenary has joined Blank Label Comics bringing even more street cred to the already potent fledgling collective.

Full Press Release at Blank Label Comics.

the recent Blank Label Comics Podcast featured some humorously neutral remarks about “the Artistic History of Webcomics” at the Webcomics Examiner which William G has taken personally. So personally, in fact, that he has vowed to begin commentating on webcomics once again, this time for spite.On a personal note: I love the Blank Label Comics Podcast and Scott Kurtz.

Addendum: Eric Burns sets a full course meal of insight on this situation and webcomics critique.

Josh Lesnick’s ‘Girly’ has joined Dayfree Press bringing 10% more pink to the home of Dinosaur Comics, Questionable Content, and Able & Baker.

“Girly” is an excellent example of an ‘infinite canvas’ strip that works. The canvas is in service to the strip, not an excuse for the strip. Scott Kurtz admitted to liking this infinite canvas strip on a Digital Strips Podcast. It is recommended.

But let’s bid the introductions adieu and get on with some heavy webcomics reporting because the internets have been busy!

The drama surrounding Jack Thompson and Our Boys continues and, Tycho promises, will come to a thrilling conclusion soon. You will remain posted, but in the meantime, let’s play *catchup– Continue reading →
