(From an anonymous news submission, this is not my opinion or the opinion of any of the ComixPedia staff)

As a fan of online comics, I feel that it is my duty to ensure that my favorite titles get the attention they deserve. Or, well, I made it my duty after I read an online article and review of the recently completed Demonology 101 series. While reading it, the writer spoke about the comics unique art style and great character developement, and I realized: the guy is right. Demonology is a great webcomic, spanning 5 chapters and roughly 700 pages. But there is a comic who deserves such business accolades even more. Its called The Midlands ( http://themidlands.net/cgi-bin/autokeenlite.cgi ), and it is a definite must read. I don't know how such a great webcomic hasn't shown up on the industry's talent radar, but it sure as heck should now! This comic has a diverse cast of characters, a complex world with many countries and cultures (well, they're interesting knock-offs of our own world's), and others that you wouldn't, yet still find. Its a world of technology and magic, history, politics, religion, and society. Political intrigue, boy friends, girl friends, A.I.s and half-elves with attitudes and a sense of right. Go check it out now!

Warning: I rate it Mature for nudity, language, violence, and a few other things you find in real life but the FCC says is bad for children. Very good.

It seems that the Crosbys can't get enough education. The KeenSpot pioneers have moved to a school building in Cresbard, SD for new office space, warehouse, and living quarters. The move was prompted by Keen's tremendous growth over the past year, making space in their Temple, CA home-based business a precious commodity. Southern California's high operating costs couldn't compete with the value to be found in The Mount Rushmore State, as the 41,440 square-foot building was purchased for $36,000. The vast amount of space will allow for more employees and inventory, hopefully freeing up some time to get the KeenToons animation site underway.

ComiXpress is a new service for independent comix artists that will print books (no minimum orders), act as their online store, then fulfill the order and notify the artist of the sale, so that the only thing the artist needs to worry about is creating their comix. Currently, several PV Comics are listed in the catalog and available for sale.
