Tuesday, July 31st, 2007A more pop culture dropping review there never was…
Amazing what times does to our once proud icons of youth, eh? I’m pretty sure no one from, say, the past 25 years really would have expected to see Transformers or Underdog as they appear on the silver screen today. Whenever it’s for better or worse, it [...]
Third Review: Breakfast of the Gods
Sunday, July 29th, 2007Okay, hopefully we are now on track again after our long stint with The Dreamland Chronicles. As promised we will be going on to a much shorter comic that Benor and I feel has enough merit to be reviewed. I was debating between two different short comics, but oddly enough when I was checking them [...]
Execution is the key.
Saturday, July 28th, 2007I’m a long time fan of video games. And that means I have some interest in webcomics about video games. It’s something of a niche market within the larger niche of webcomics, but there are still a lot of them. My favorite is, without a doubt, Penny Arcade.
But out of all my webcomic bookmarks, I [...]
Review: The Dreamland Chronicles
Friday, July 27th, 2007I feel like I unintentionally chose “The Dreamland Chronicles” as a challenge this time, although that was not my intent. Perhaps it is just because it was such as switch from our last review, or that Dreamland stands apart from many other webcomics.
One of the things I find challenging about reviewing Dreamland is the art. [...]
The Dreamland Chronicles – Review!
Thursday, July 26th, 2007The Dreamland Chronicles was a very ineteresting read. I was not sure entirely what to expect when I started. But then, I rarely am. : )
I will admit that 3D “Poser” style art is not usually my favorite, especially when it involves humans. With other creatures, I usually do not have too much difficulty suspending [...]
Review of The Dreamland Chronicles
Sunday, July 22nd, 2007The Dreamland Chronicles strongly reminds me of the saturday morning cartoons and animated children’s movies I would often watch in my younger years. It’s very cute, visually attractive, and largely an easy read. That said, I think if you approach it with a sense of childhood wonderment, it can be much easier to appreciate as [...]
Dreamland Chronicles Review.
Saturday, July 21st, 2007I should say that throughout this review for the Dreamland Chronicles, I’ll be talking about the art. It’s the most noticeable feature of the comic, and a lot of my comments on other elements lead back to it.
Visually, the Dreamland Chronicles is wonderful to look at. Though it’s easy to tell it’s digitally made, that [...]
Example Review: Tales of the Questor
Monday, July 16th, 2007So, while here at Caught Stealing Brains we will weekly update with a webcomic review, I am also going to allow other kind of comic reviews.
One of these different types of review is the “One Shot,” or reviewing just a page or a few at a time to exemplify something overall about a comic. This [...]
Second Review: The Dreamland Chronicles
Sunday, July 15th, 2007Seeing as it is Sunday again I think I would like to thank everyone who participated in so far in Caught Stealing Brains! I think so far it has been a success. Both from the aspect that everyone was able to contribute meaningfully, but also that the author seemed to more or less have a [...]
Review: Abian
Saturday, July 14th, 2007When I first looked into reading Abian, I started with some trepidation. Not because of the web MA rating at the top of the page or all the little warning flags on the Belfry’s list, but because of the description of the comic. A priest hunting demons and yet being changed by a good “demon” [...]
