Oversaturation of Gaming Comics


Why is it gaming comics are oversaturated while gaming cartoons or television shows are too far and few between? I have a gaming comic, that I think would translate very well onto the small screen, but it's crazy just trying to differentiate it from the millions and millions of other gaming comics out there. Don't you agree that gaming comics are oversaturated while gaming shows are scarce?

 

 

Old Computer Back Up!



Hey Cats. I finally got my old computer back. So far so good, but it's already crashed a couple of times. It's five years old and being an HP it's its time. So, I am going to continue the computer fund donation drive. I ordered a new computer today and the cost is very close to the donation goal. I know this is a lot to ask, but again, thanks to all who have donated already. I do appreciate it, no matter if it is $100.00 or $2.00, it all adds up, and I am very humbled by everyone's generosity. Again, if you can, please donate.

Would you like a Blog with your Web Comic, sir and/or madame?


Blog-like content, in tandem with a web comic. Also known as "the news post" in a lot of comics. I've recently come across a couple of strips that don't have any kind of news/blog posts at all, instead just posting the comic and being done with it.

As with everything, I don't like that.

  • Soul Driver, by Jim Giar is blood-soaked black and white noir at it’s finest, featuring a cast of no-good-nicks sure to sure to please any fan of crime drama. Giar brings the intensity hot and heavy so try not to wear out the edge of your seat too quickly!
  • Gunnerkrigg Court, by Tom Siddell is a story set in a boarding school full of the strange, the weird, and the just plain creepy. Gunnerkrig mixes elements of fantasy and steampunk into world full of monsters, robots, and mystery all rendered in Siddell’s beautifully minimalist approach.
  • Last and certainly not least, Graphic Smash is elated to welcome back Barbara Lien-Cooper and Ryan Howe’s Gun Street Girl, one of GS’ original classics. This time however, we have a twist. Not only will Barb and Ryan be bringing GS readers Liz and Eddie’s continuing adventures in Gun Street Girl, but they will also be starting up several new projects at Graphic Smash under the Gun Street Girl Presents banner and you know with these two doing the comicing, they’re going to be awesome.
