The site fell down a couple times yesterday, but it wasn't until this evening that I realized it was probably due to a Slashdotting today. All due to Slashdot running a story on the recent Wikinews story on the neverending webcomics versus wikipedia discussion (Part of that post pointed back to Comixtalk).
I guess I'll take some comfort in the fact that the Liquidweb VPS the site runs on managed to get back up.
Post your links to Halloween-inspired webcomics to this thread - yours or others!
There's no new activity in Fright Night land this year, but feel free to survey the scary stories of years gone by. For new ghostly webcomics check out Halloween Stories at Jon Morris' Oucopo blog. Jon is the creator of the web/comic Jeremy and has organized previous ghouly comic projects.
Oh and check out this cool carving into a pumpkin of Schlock from Schlock Mercenary. That is pretty cool!
WHAT: Lynda Barry, Alison Bechdel and Chris Ware discuss the graphic novel -- moderated by Daniel Raeburn.
WHERE: Washington DC Jewish Community Center’s Aaron and Cecile Goldman Theater at 16th and Q, beginning at 8PM.
WEB: Details here.
It seems to be the goal of most web comic creators to see their work in print. I've accomplished the feat twice - self-publishing and nearly killing myself in the process.
Now I'm at the point where I've seen a nice enough return on my investment and I'm a little less uptight about breaking even on the venture.
Regular readers of the online graphic novel Shades will know that the main characters are all way too old to go out trick-or-treating. They do occasionally get dressed up in silly costumes, though, so - if you didn't see it at the weekend - you might want to check out the warrior queen Boudicca in her Wonder Woman outfit!
Those of you who just want to get on with the story, however, can ignore all this dress-up nonsense and go straight to the latest instalment at Broken Voice Comics. Boo, of course, is in costume there too but ... well, just not as Wonder Woman!
Regular readers of the online graphic novel Shades will know that the main characters are all way too old to go out trick-or-treating. With the 31 October update, we conclude the web edition of the first issue of Sugary Serials, the full color, all ages, Saturday morning cartoon-inspired comics anthology. So, as promised, the print edition is now on sale at our IndyPlanet store!
One in a continuing series of books I picked up at this year's Small Press Expo -- a brief plug for Subculture#1 which does a nice job of capturing a variety of socially maladjusted comic book fanboys. It doesn't venture too far from the stereotypes of geekdom in this first issue -- in fact it amps them up tossing a "hot chick who likes comics" into the mix, automatically flummoxing males left and right... That probably sounds more negative than I mean to - regardless of my description it's a pretty funny book and the art is a good match - a bit cartoony but just a bit. Stan Yan has some chops.
Moreover the creators seemed like decent dudes and I checked out the previews of issues 2-4 at their Comicspace site (there's a preview of issue #1 here) which looked pretty promising -- not sure if I'm going to run out and buy them, but if it was online I'd definitely add it to my reading queue.
