I just did a major overhaul to my gaming webcomic, The Reset Button.  I'm really pushing hard for it to make it accessible to both gamers and non-gamers alike.  Check it out and email me, let me know what you think!

My coworker made some fan art/remix of strip 4 of Shuriken Diaries. In extremely poor taste, of course.

Sorry about the lack of update today folks, but I'm still working hard on this side project - it was going nowhere for the first few days, but it finally came together yesterday and now I'm steaming ahead. Here's a little view of some of the characters from the project - I hope you folks like 'em!

WIKIWATCH

• Earlier today, I posted a request for help remembering some of the more doubtful deletions of webcomic entries from the Wikipedia. Here's what that post was aimed at helping: Wikinews is working on a story about it. The story in progress can be found here.

ZUDAMANIA

• The Beat has a copy of a press release from DC's webcomic host/contest site Zuda and it's first lineup of webcomics. Someone in this lineup wins a prize.
• The Beat also notes that Bayou by Jeremy Love is the first Zuda instant winner. The strip has already been awarded a 1-year contract, and was a solicited submission. I'm sorry - everytime I read these prize/winner sentence about Zuda I start thinking it's a McDonald's contest or something...

COLLECTIVE 'ECTIVE, WHAT'S YOUR... FECTIVE?

• Beat, beat, all Beat link lifting today: the webcomics collective The Chemistry Set adds Threads of Red Jack by Daniel Kibblesmith & K. Thor Jensen, and The Gloom by Tony Lee and Dan Boultwood; and the webcomic collective Act-i-vate adds Backstage by Molly Crabapple and John Leavitt, a comedy/murder mystery set in the burlesque halls of old New York.

AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 BLOGS

• Webcomic Asylum writes about putting your webcomic on "top vote lists" and using the Project Wonderful advertising platform .
• Shaenon Garrity has a new column up at Comixology about Stumptown and the goshdarn Batman...
• The Beat writes about the best-selling Buffy Season 8 comic book series.
• And in not-comics stuff, Nerd World flags trailers for potentially cool upcoming movies...
• Kris Straub is having a Half Life 2 Haiku contest (deadline November 5th). I just finished Episode 2 which is good but I just wish they would get though more story in each game (or just release the games faster)...

JUSTIFY MY HYPE

• Hard Way Studios, the publisher of Morbid Myths, House at the Edge of Nowhere, and Shelter, has revamped its website.

It looks like Comixpedia.org is really picking up steam -- adding articles at a much healthier rate. (You, yes you well-informed ComixTalk reader, should add something to an entry there)

I've had some recent discussions about Wikipedia again and I am trying to recall some of the more outrageous deletions of notable webcomics entries from Wikipedia. I definitely recall the back and forth circus over Girly, the ridiculous effort to delete Ted Rall's anthology of webcomic creators: Attitude 3, Kris Straub's "experiment" in Wikipedia deletion follies, FLEEN's explanation of "notability logic" in action, and Terrence Marks wrote a post listing a large number of deleted entries. Hey let's even throw in there the fact that the entry for Comixtalk itself got deleted.

If there are any other good examples of notable webcomics being actually deleted or subjected to a tortuous deletion review please post a link or a summary here. I'm not trying to resurrect the angst of earlier times but there are folks inside the Emerald City of Wiki-land who are trying to bring some sanity to the deletion process and are looking for help in compiling evidence.
