Webcomics Do Greenfield


Webcomics in Print has a brilliant line-up this week.

The Paranormals: A new webcomic aimed at younger readers


The Paranormals

It's no secret that the vast majority of comics being created these days are aimed at the older audiences. As StayFree! Magazine recently put it:

The Last Battle


As GRAPHIC DETAIL: Zombie draws to a close; The Blurb delivers more of your comic book goodness with Ang Huling Laban (translated as The Last Battle).

Comixpedia Update: Thanks, Links and Bucks


A quick shout-out to our current advertisers: the webcomic Life on the Fringe and the Learn To Draw the Human Figure drawing course. Also be sure to check out the Overman comic and Grant Thomas's website full of comics and music goodness. We also thank all of our Project Wonderful advertisers including current sponsors, the webcomics collective The Chemistry Set, the webcomic For The Hermits, and the awesome t-shirt company, Awesome T-Shirts.

Speaking of collectives, I neglected last month to highlight Kelly Cooper's features on webcomic communities from the archives. Check out parts one and two for a view of webcomic community from when Comixpedia just started in 2003.

Finally - I'll be traveling next week so my posting will be light. A bit of the April issue should go up this weekend but I'll have to regroup on it when I get back. We're still looking for new (or old) reviewers to... well review some webcomics. It's not much, but Comixpedia does pay $10 for a published review. Right now I am looking for reviews of science fiction webcomics (check out our archive of reviews for some examples of what Comixpedia has published in the past). If you're a potential reviewer be sure to email me (xerexes AT comixpedia DOT com) and we'll get you started.

Project Wonderful is NOT Webcomic Welfare


 Project WonderfulI've been seeing posts like this one lately -- griping about Project Wonderful in a way that really isn't constructive criticism or even very realistic.

Introducing the new X8E Comics


A new schedule for X8E Comics - from now on, we will be updating the website every single day, except Sunday.

For those of you who don't know, (99.99% of everybody) X8E Comics productions include:

  • Latoria Agonistes, a humor strip by Cameron and Taylor Nielsen
  • 101 Views of Mount Fuji, a graphic novel about nature, by Cameron Nielsen.

We intend to do more short stories, Views pages, and miscellaneous comics, but the main comics will show up frequently. So please visit our homepage and see what we have to offer.

Happy Birthday To Us!


Browse the comics Has it really been a whole twelve months since the ceremonial ribbon was cut and BVC's mighty doors were flung open to an unsuspecting world? Yes! One year ago today we officially launched the BVC website with the opening chapters of the online graphic novel Shades.

"Less is More" or "Keep the Pedal Mashed"?


I'm curious. Ever bitten off as much as you could chew only to find that shoving the whole enchilada in your mouth at one time compromised the flavor of the little stuff you loved so much about the dish in the first place?
