My Silent Kimbly review.
Monday, December 31st, 2007At its heart, Silent Kimbly is a comic all about one panel puns. There’s no story progression, no deep character insight (and anyone who reads insight into the different puns is probably working too hard to find meaning), and very little humor beyond the puns. In short, Kimbly is not my kind of comic. However, that [...]
Review of Order of the Stick
Sunday, December 30th, 2007I became aware of OotS a while back amidst my readings of Knights of the Dinner Table, Dragon magazine, and word of mouth. A brief look over at the time didn’t impress me much. A lot of that disdain came indirectly from 8 Bit Theater, which I considered an increasingly stagnant webcomic with a similar [...]
Christmas Shuffle
Sunday, December 16th, 2007Hey there everyone. Sorry to say this but now is another time for us to slow down a bit in time for the holidays. Some people need to catch up, some people need to go to work for the Christmas rush, some people are doing seasonal plays, and some people aren’t really doing that much [...]
Is this a kissing book? It’s not? Well screw that!
Friday, December 14th, 2007This review of Inverloch is late, and I have no excuses for that. I found it to be a rather quick read, mostly due to my inner romantic. Who, as you might guess by the title, is rather disappointed.
The first and foremost part of the comic is the art. In short, it is stunning, especially [...]
Review: Silent Kimbly
Friday, December 14th, 2007Ever stumble across a book and start reading it, only to find out that it was meant for a different audience than you?
That’s kinda how Silent Kimbly hit me. I was not expecting a comic in the style of a children’s book, and it definitely took me by surprise. Not the least because I am [...]
A Review of Silent Kimbly
Monday, December 10th, 2007As a child reading Jack and Jill magazine, yes, that was probably the age I would have at least not felt catastrophic insulin shock from reading this webcomic. A previous review, Minus, is not even in the same ballpark as the sheer amount of processed sugar pouring out of every teddy bear seam and glass [...]
Next Review: Silent Kimbly
Monday, December 10th, 2007I hope so far that everyone is doing well, and that the holiday season and stresses haven’t gotten anyone down. It’s, what, only 15 more days until Christmas? Two weeks and a day; fun stuff.
Our next review is:
Silent Kimbly
If this comic doesn’t bring you out of the holiday funk, then it might make you want [...]
Sequential Art review.
Sunday, December 9th, 2007There’s nothing really remarkable about the ideas that go into Sequential Art. It has a cute mascot, an elastic reality, and protagonists who are odd roommates, switching between being wacky instigators and straight men. These have been seen in a lot of webcomics. However, Sequential Art does a good job of putting all of these [...]
A review of Sequential Art
Monday, December 3rd, 2007Barely there sitcom plots with friends and wacky fantasy situations? Check. Inconsistent presence of trendy anthros or otherwise out of place cutesy creatures? Check. Pron and/or nerd references? Oh hells yeah. Ladies, toasters, and gentlemen, we have ourselves a good old fashioned by the numbers ‘roommates on a couch’ comic!
Okay, my snarkiness aside, Sequential Art [...]
Next Review: Sequential Art
Monday, December 3rd, 2007Yeah, I know. That title sounds like a total duh. I’m not trying to trick you, although maybe for April Fools I should say, “I’m too busy! Pick your own comics! *RAGE*” Darn kids.
Anyway, our next review is:
Sequential Art
This is another comic that I did not find on my own, but instead was suggested to [...]
