DC Comics has announced a brand new imprint called Zudacomics. Instead of a print line, Zudacomics will be the company’s first webcomic line. “There is an explosion of creativity in web comics,” said Paul Levitz, DC Comics President & Publisher. “We want to build a great stage for this new generation of creators to perform on, a solid system for their work to reach audiences online and in print, and for the creators to share in the profits their creations can generate. In this time of rapid technological and cultural change, DC wants to be a good publisher for the…

I’m a big fan of Wes Molebash and his webcomic You’ll Have That, so I’m more than happy to pass along information about a gallery showing of his work. The exhibit runs from July 17 until August 25, 2007 at the Pump House Art Gallery Chillicothe, OH 45601 740.772.5783
Launched in 2002 by librarian Gene Ambaum and cartoonist Bill Barnes is gained an audience of over 35,000 readers a day and has just celebrated its fifth anniversary. “Is it a comic that only librarians can appreciate? No.” says writer Gene Ambaum. “A library is basically a store — everyone has been on one side of the counter or the other. Fortunately for us there really is such a thing as a stupid question.” “Unshelved is always a blast to make,” says artist Bill Barnes, “I get to draw Dewey saying the things everyone wishes they could say, except they’d…

Just another popularity list… There has been a lot of discussion both on Major Spoilers and various other websites regarding my Top 57 Web Comics You Should Be Reading list. Some comments were positive, some excited about where their favorite strip landed, but most about the web comics that didn’t make my list. This installment is aptly named Viewer’s Choice. Based on the responses in the forum, comments and other websites that have linked to the original list, I’ve taken all of the recommendations and ranked them according to Alexa (a popular web ranking system). While web ranking systems are…
57 varieties of web comics you should be reading The Top Ten Here we are, the big day, the big reveal, the result of all the brouhaha; the big Top Ten. Those that earned a spot in my list of the best web comics have to offer. But what makes something Top Ten worthy? In my mind it isn’t just the comic, but rather the entire website experience. While I likes me my web comics, commentary, bonus material, news, and more, make me want to linger at that website just a little bit longer. As you’ll see, when you get…
57 varieties of web comics you should be reading Didn’t want you to think that I had let the day slip by without uploading this installment of the Top 57 Web Comics. I would never do that to you just when we are hitting the teens. But isn’t that how our teenage years were? Full of disappointment, that left us the bitter bitter adults we are now… No? Well, me neither. Really. So today we get so close to the top ten, those on the list must be feeling the heat of being in the presence of such brilliance. That…
57 varieties of web comics you should be reading Today we get into the 20s, which is all about relationships; relationships between boys and girls, girls and girls, fantasy and reality, and even relationships between a beaver and a lizard. But before the list, I promised I would talk briefly about all those webcomic voting sites. I have nothing against voting sites, they are a great way to find new comics you may never have seen before, but they are in no way reflective of the popularity of a particular strip. This is because the voting systems are easy fooled,…
57 varieties of web comics you should be reading Day two of the 57 web comics you should be reading continues, with #40-31. Ah, the dreaded 30s. I hated those levels in World of Warcraft as I struggled to move up in the ranks. Before we get to the list for today, I did receive an e-mail from Chris at Reasonably Clever, who asks, “Are most of your daily reads, comics that have been passed around by word-of-mouth or do you have a particular site you’ll check for new/interesting releases in the webcomic world?” Glad you asked Chris, my Top…
57 varieties of web comics you should be reading When I created the Major Spoilers Best of 2006 list, I placed Web Comics at number nine. There are just so many creators out there doing some great (and not so great) work. I also mentioned in the article (you really should read it), that I have over 50 web comics I visit every day. So why not count them down? Over the next five days, I’ll bring you my top 57 web comics out there and by this time next week, you’ll either have a lot of reading to do,…
While I have no problem writing Best Of and Top Ten lists, this is my first year coming up with a Best Of list for comics, and it has been a real challenge. First there is the whole “thousands of titles out there” deal, then there is the fact that these kinds of lists are a touchy subject to write. What may be on my Best Of list, is on the @$$ List for someone else. Regardless, it’s time to look back over the year and see what was tops when it came to comics.
Viper has announced the five “winners” selected from all those submitted to Viper’s first webcomic search. The fab five will join You’ll Have That and the Horrible Pirates on the publisher’s website. Find out who the winners are after the jump.
I got a huge kick out of Scott Johnson’s My Extra Life strip today. He’s been doing a series on Famous Last Words – those things that were proably the last thing said by a moron before getting what s/he deserves. The reason why I like Scott’s strip today is because I suggested it (GRIN). We’ll have the transcript to an interview I did with Scott up real soon, so until then, keep visiting his site! via MyExtraLife.com (link)
