When I was introduced to webcomics about four years ago, it was Penny Arcade, PvP, and Sinfest. Now, hip-deep in the best and brightest the web has to offer, those three are still on my daily pull-list, with PA being the only one I ROTFLOL at every single time.

So it’s only fitting that, with all the other news already reported, I give Gabe and Tycho their due with a mention of the additions (updates?) to their repertoire. If you’d like to glimpse all the other news items of the week, check my previous post for the News Slam. Copyright soon to follow.

It's officially Fall now. Leaves are clogging gutters across the country, the World Series has started (go Yankees, by the way) and sweet sweet candy is available at holiday prices.

Along with all these other signs of winter's approach, many Internet sites that took the summer off are back in session. My personal favorite that has just started back up is the machinima series Red vs. Blue (not a Web comic, I know, I'm getting to that part) by Rooster Teeth productions.

So… ConnectiCon interviews. WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THOSE, AMIRITE?

They’re coming. I swear. There was a brief period this summer where I had all my active video stuff saved on a public computer on my campus. Hidden away, so as not to be found and tampered with. Unless they flat-out reformatted the things. Which seems to be what happened.

If you don’t stop and look around once and a while, you could miss it.” With that in mind, I present you the news items submitted to us over the last few days. No particular order, no one story means more than the last. Here we go!

Some really big news this week, with Drunk Duck being acquired in a huge (catastrophic?) move by Platinum Studios, more webcomic interview goodness from Wizard, and more!

Oh, and with regards to the eagerly anticipated, universally panned review of A History Of Webcomics, I shall simply quote You’ll Have That’s Wes Molebash:

There’s a lot of drama in webcomics, and I think it’s funny.

Couldn’t have said it better, Wes. I will indeed have that. Now listen up, and listen good, because I’m only gonna say this once.

A couple months ago I got a phone call from guys at Platinum studios asking if I would be interested in promoting the Comic Book Challenge. Most of you probably realize that our advertising tends to focus mainly on web comics so instead I asked if we could have an interview, thus I ended up getting Scott Rosenberg on the phone for a good hour. There was no reason why that wasn’t going to be the end of the conversation, but after the interview Scott and the rest of his company gathered together to pepper me with questions about web comics.

Nothing lasts for ever. Nothing gold can stay. Sooner or later, everything comes to an end. Matt Boyd and Ian McConville seem to have decided to step away from Mac Hall, much to the disappointment of many readers and other comic creators who site Mac Hall as one of their major influences.

Today's strip, what may well be the final installment of Mac Hall was a perfect bittersweet ending. Continue reading →
