Regardless of that, I decided to take this opportunity to introduce new readers to my work while also giving current readers a glimpse into the history and creation of the series. Continue Reading
Tina is an average teenager, well other than the fact that she's mysteriously bonded with Killroy, an alien with immense powers and oh yeah, someday Tina will become the Mistress of Time and Space in her continuum. Justin Pierce's Killroy and Tina is a delightfully funny, yet action-packed tale that is published on Graphic Smash.
In February, there were some interesting developments in the business of webcomics. 360ep (Bill Jemas' new "content licensing" company) signed the creators of two webcomics (Danielle Corsetto, Takeshi Miyazawa and Arthur Dela Cruz) to contracts, although no one, including Corsetto, seems to know just what exactly 360ep is supposed to do. Another webcomic creator, Rich Burlew of The Order Of The Stick, quit his day job to make comics his career. Also Scott Kurtz's PvP returned to the pages of PC Gamer.
In March, Comixpedia is looking at action-oriented webcomics. Graphic Smash, a subscription site featuring action-oriented webcomics, recently announced the addition of three more webcomics to its lineup. Are creators better off publishing their work at a subscription site? What's the action like working for Graphic Smash? Continue Reading
“Fanboy Otaku Gamers Club” published for four years, a labor of love for its creator Dennis Kanenwisher. A fun, fairly fast-paced superhero adventure that also shows the evolution of an improving webcomic artist.
Kanenwisher ends this project, but the archives will remain up on Keenspace. Continue Reading

Slashdot noticed the Daily Grind contest for webcomics yesterday. Checkerboard Nightmare also commented on this contest yesterday.
I think it’s an interesting idea and a clever means to some welcome publicity for several new creators (as well as the veterans) but given that Chris Crosby has posted a new installment of Superosity everyday (not just Monday through Friday) for six years running this is going to be a marathon of a contest. I sure hope Comixpedia is still around to publish the name of the winner when the contest ends. Continue Reading
