Webcomic Asylum: Reviews, news, interviews, and cholesterol free!


Hi, I have a site called webcomics asylum, where I review smaller webcomics and the occasional big one. Witness my mediocre writing style, get chills at my choice of mascot(a chimp), take polls, and generally just enjoy the content! Thanks!

Great xkcd article on Wired


Here's a link to the article spoken of in the title. 70 million page views! When you're done contributing to xkcd's pageview count, throw a little love to Shuriken Diaries while you're at it.

Breaking the 4th wall, and #12, The Addiction du Jour


#12, The Addiction du Jour has been posted on Shuriken Diaries. If you check underneath the main post, at the moment, there's some links to two very cool sets of art from different people, one on ComicSpace and another straight to the webcomic.

What do you guys think about comics that break the 4th wall? I'm not talking about comics that do it in every strip, but rather the comics that do it only occasionally at the most. I freakin' hate it. More often than not it seems like a cheap way out when you have some writer's block.

And there's nothing worse than a comic that breaks the wall in the very first strip in that unbearably bad way, a la "Hi readers, this is our first strip" or two guys sitting on a couch saying "Man, we should start a webcomic" kind of junk. But, while I know I'm not alone, I'm wondering what the people of ComixTalk think. Anyone guilty of such a sin, and do you regret it, or am I just being an arse and now I'm on your blacklist?

Happy Birthday to Nate Piekos


Happy birthday to Nate of Blambot and Atland fame (as well as many other things). We have an interview this week with Nate that should be up tonight or tomorrow. We just need a couple more pieces. Go say happy birthday to Nate and tell him the gigcast sent you. foo
