Another trio of PREviews

By: Frank "Damonk" Cormier
Department: Reviews
Issue: September 2004 Issue

Continuing last week's trend of introducing you to fun new comics, but tying into this month's theme of relationships, here is another trio of newcomers that are fresh out of the webcomic starting gates, and raring to wow you with their interesting premises, plots, or just plain priceless humor.

With a healthy mix of angsty young adults, strawbatos (strawbatos are all about relationships, honest), fruit bats, and young petting zoo emancipators, how could you be steered wrong?

An Interview with Venus Envy's Erin Lindsey

Department: Interviews
Issue: September 2004 Issue

Erin Lindsey maintains one of the most popular sites on Keenspace with Venus Envy, the continuing escapades and tribulations of Zoe, a transgendered teenager....and through it, explores not just issues of gender, but issues of being human. She was kind enough to grant Comixpedia an interview.

Form Is Function by John Barber

Issue: September 2004 Issue

This column was meant to be an examination of the form and aesthetic qualities of comics from a theoretical yet practical point of view. This had been, really, the idea of pretty much anything I've ever written about comics.

I've always been more interested in the practical side of "comics theory". My philosophy has been that in understanding how something works, I can better use that something to make comics.

Relationships in Webcomics: Infinite Canvas or Crowded Space?

By: Wednesday White
Department: Features
Issue: September 2004 Issue

One of the things I learned, pretty early on, is that I don't want people in my space. Maybe a single person, and then only on the grounds that there are certain relationships one can't easily conduct when one doesn't let anyone into the house. You can come over for coffee, or for anime, or for whatever it is we've decided to do. Then, you will have to get out, because it is my bloody space.

I've noticed the September issue of Comixpedia has a "romance and relationships" theme. I'm all for a romance theme for Comixpedia, but isn't that sort of theme usually reserved for February, with Valentines Day and all? Certain months seem to have an inherent theme-- A Horror theme would be fitting for October, for example (for Halloween). September is normally a "back to school" kind of month, so why not focus on that? There are jillions of comics about school. So c'mon, y'all! Get with it!


Black and White or Color?

Do people feel online comics are obligated to be in color, since they don't have to worry about the cost like in print comics?

Just curious.

Thoughts?


Why is it that all the interesting news is only in the blog?

I guess the title says it all.
