Mini-Forum (Actual forum is here):
People who've linked me (back) :        Webcomics news: Chasing the Sunset reached 500 strips today. Very nice humouristic comic about two young elves wandering the world along with an equally young dragon; best read in large chunks so you get the back-references. Minus has ended, on a weird and whimsical note. So has Casey and Andy. It shall be missed. On the other hand, Sea of Insanity - one of my favourite webcomics - has finally started updating again. Yay! Newfound strips: Subnormality: Text-rich funny one-shot strips. Nobody Scores!: Continuity-defying over-the-top absurdist satire, with characters who end up dead or locked up in something like half of the episodes. Afterlife Blues: The next project by the makers of Miracle of Science, it hasn't caught my fancy yet, but I'm giving it time. Good Ship Chronicles: Humorous well-drawn sci-fi comic about a dysfunctional ship crew, filmed for a TV documentary. The author has left stories unfinished in the past, but I'm crossing my thumbs for this one. Knowledge is Power and Dumnestor's Heroes, both by Irony-chan, creator of Get Medieval. (Where does she get her energy, anyway? Because I could need a resupply, myself...) The first story is a well-made mon-wed-fri-strip about some students who are granted super-powers. It's my favourite of the two, but Dumnestor's Heroes, a five-day-a-week RPG-session-as-comic, gets a bonus for the friendly Necromancer (though I was first with the concept, so there ;) ) and for several other just-right original touches that raise the comic above the standard. 071210 I've been working on another secret project recently, part of why I'm late with my comics. Trying to make a web 2.0-style concept I came up with into reality. ...I don't suppose any of you readers happen to be web-programming geniuses? Probably could use a bit of help with this one. 070101 Narbonic, one of my long-time favourites, has ended. ...It feels weird somehow, NOT reading it first thing in the morning anymore. Also, A Miracle of Science is in its epilogue phase, and will probably end any week now. With Casey and Andy still in hiatus, this means my Mad Science intake will become SERIOUSLY impaired. I don't think I could make it, were it not for Girl Genius. 061029 What's happened since last update? Quite a lot. Gods of Aar-Kelaan came out of reruns. Elf Only Inn ended its hiatus. Cheshire Crossing updated with a new chapter. NeverNever got a new artist. The archives of Killroy and Tina became free to read again. So did those of FANS! New comics discovered recently: GM of the Rings, a story about what would've happened if LotR had been a D&D campaign. Minus, a quirky and cute tale of a little girl possessing godlike powers. In other news, I'm really starting to like YouTube, which is providing me with stuff I remember from my childhood, as well as new interesting TV shows I'm too lazy to catch on Nickelodeon. I quite enjoy Avatar; it's surprisingly good stuff - I might even turn on the TV one of these days. 060623 Finally gathered enough new stuff for an update: The Dreamland Chronicles As a child, Alex regularly visited a magic dreamland nightly - until the dreams suddenly stopped. Now, 20 years old, he gets to resume those visits by mystical means - and he finds his old friends there are similarly grown up. Beautiful CGI comic, crossing over to webcomics from print. Thunderstruck One stormy evening, a wheelchair-bound girl with declining health gets struck by lightning. This is, of course, a good thing. However, her life does become rather more complicated after this. Good urban fantasy comic, reminds me a bit of early Clan of the Cats. Partially Clips Funny one-shot strips, threading the line between one-panel and three-panel gag; the image is the same for the panels of each strip, but speech bubbles differ. Can be quite amusing. Casey and Andy is currently on its final storyline. However, the author has unveiled a new comic: Cheshire Crossing. Alice (Alice in Wonderland), Dorothy (The Wizard of Oz) and Wendy (Peter Pan) get together and compare stories. From what I've heard, this is not quite as original an idea as it would seem at first glance. However, there is certainly room for another interpretation, especially since the tales seem to differ markedly in genre. Also, Andy Weir put in Mary Poppins in his comic, too. That's practically perfect in every way! AND HEY, CHECK THIS OUT: The Narbonic archives is free to browse once more! Now I can finally stop right-click-and-saving it six times a week. On the other hand, I'm currently occupied with storing the archive of Goblins... Also, I hear Pewfell is free again, too. I've got to get around to reading it one of these days. 060220 My internet access will be spotty this next week, so I put up the unfinished strips in the meantime. In other news, welcome to those people coming here via the recent comment on my comic, which Reinder Dijkhuis posted over at the snarcoleptics community. 060214 I've finally updated my Link List! (So far only the version without banners, though.) Also, another update on the Webcomic World: Angel Moxie is finishing up - oh, and it's got a theme song now. Dragon Tails is updating once again, now with a video-game spoof storyline. Avalon also shows signs of life. I just noticed that Rogues of Cwlyd-Rhan made it's archives available to the public again. Good for me - I think it's more suitable for reading in large chunks than day-by-day, anyway. Oh, and reruns of early strips? I like that too. The Angst Technology comic archive seems to work once again. Girl Genius now have both my favourite scenes from volume 2 online: The Falling Machine Episode ("several pages) and the "keelink everybody plan is no goot" scene. Among new comics, I've found Goblins, a riveting story of some poor monsters who try their best to live peaceful lives, and not get killed by adventurers. Also be sure to check out Get Medieval, a seven-days-a-week comic centering on a family of galactic fugitives who get stranded on medieval Earth. 050823 Anyhow, what's happened in the webcomics world since last I posted? Lessee... Sea of Insanity is updating again; the author is back from her year in Japan. Great comic, in case you haven't read it yet. And speaking of Japan, Tsunami channel also seems to be reemerging from its hiatus. Girl Genius, one of the few comics I read outside the web, is moving to the internet, one strip at a time: at this point, the first volume is almost fully uploaded. Mad scientists, steam-driven robots - this comic is too good too miss. Compensating for this good news, Reman Mythology seems to be moving out of the web. Gossamer Commons is shaping up to be a good urban fantasy strip, about a struggling writer who rescues a fairy, and the not wholly nice consequences that follow. The author also has a blog commenting comics, web and otherwise, which has gained popularity of late. I myself have become a regular reader. Vexxarr deals with the subject of alien invasion from a humorous perspective, positing that aliens are rather incompentent (which is a reasonable hypothesis to why they aren't freaking here yet, I must sadly agree). Oh yeah, and my secret project is finished and was uploaded to the 'net a month or so ago. ... What, you want a link? That would defeat the "secret" part, now wouldn't it? Come on, I've certainly given enough hints. OK, subtle hints, but still... Anyway, those of you who nostalgic enough to care, probably know already. Some webcomic links: |       Good comics you ought to know about already.          Good comics you might have missed     
    Good comics you probably did miss, go check them out!          And my comic you certainly DIDN'T miss. If you want to make sure other people don't either, here are my first few banners:   More will follow if I find the time. Also, the rest of my webcomic links can be found here! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
