« Previous EntriesNext Review: xkcd
Sunday, September 30th, 2007So, it’s that time again for the next update to the blog, on what people should be looking into for the week. I don’t have much to say as for a recap of the past few weeks, but contributors and people looking to join should probably peek at the forums if they want to talk [...]
Review: Ursula Vernon
Thursday, September 27th, 2007It’s a combination of horror and cuteness that some might call ’sick’, ‘twisted’, or even ‘macabre’.
Personally, I happen to find Ursula Vernon’s work to be rather entertaining. I haven’t read her Digger series, and of these three, I’d only read Irrational Fears before. I have seen a number of her other one-shot artwork / comic [...]
Far too cute!
Tuesday, September 25th, 2007A lot of webcomics are designed for long runs, even if the creators don’t live up to those ideas. So aside from the quality of these three shorter comics, it’s refreshing to read something that hasn’t developed 300 comics when I wasn’t looking. Fortunately, these are also good comics.
I enjoyed all three of these comics. [...]
A collective review of three Ursula Vernon short stories
Sunday, September 23rd, 2007Ursula Vernon is one of the those prestige names I’ve seen dropped around Livejournal but never really knew why for the most part. Today’s selection is a collection of three illustrated tales set in a faux children’s book tone. Dark and quirky, they make for good short reading.
Of the three stories, Irrational Fears was my [...]
Next Review: Ursula Vernon Collection
Monday, September 17th, 2007Okay. So. I guess no (gay) furry relationship comics for you :o! Which limits some of our reviewing options in a way, because there are quite a number of them out there. I guess for myself I will just consider this to be a learning experience.
So for this week, I am going to do something different. [...]
Carpe Diem Review.
Monday, September 17th, 2007Thanks for posting about the archive troubles, Master Flare. If you hadn’t put up that information, I would have been REALLY confused about what was going on.
Carpe Diem isn’t something I’d normally read, because it’s primarily about relationships. While relationships don’t turn me off in most comics, I don’t find them interesting enough to sustain [...]
Archive Troubles
Wednesday, September 12th, 2007Gak! All right, hopefully everyone has not gotten too far in Carpe Diem. It seems the archives are a little screwed up. When I was going through the comics, somehow we jumped from the cover of Chapter 4, to some filler comics, and then to the cover of Chapter 6. So Issues 4 and 5 are apparently missing!
Fortunately, [...]
My God…it’s full of zap guns.
Tuesday, September 11th, 2007Well, I am sorry that we can’t reasonably review Girl Genius in a week…but it does have a very large archive at this point, so I can understand why. But on to another Foglio work!
Artistically, Buck Godot is quite nice…though it does feature some squashing and stretching, which may turn off those who want more [...]
Buck Godot: The Man, The Myth, The Review!
Monday, September 10th, 2007You know, I first stumbled across Phil’s work as the “skill description” artwork in Spiderweeb Software’s Avernum series and, well, I have always been amazed by the man’s ability to make a single-panel black and white image so humorous that will make me grin every time I see it.
His color work is just as good, [...]
Next Review: Carpe Diem
Monday, September 10th, 2007For those who are interested, the creator of the previously reviewed HERO has recently won second place in an International Manga Competition for the Japanese manga magazine “Morning.” There are two things to mention here, one being the similarities between the the overall review of the comic, which you will find at the bottom of [...]
