Yesterday Italy, today Serbia: Egon reports that GRRR!, the International Comics Festival starts tomorrow in Pancevo, Serbia.

As far as superhero movies go, a really twisted, scary sure-to-succeed if not f’ed by executives would be Dr. Strange. Wes Craven or Sam Raimi would be all over that. (Raimi especially would be an interesting choice as I’d bet he could land a Spiderman-size budget for what would likely be a very Evil Dead-like movie).

A new issue of the renamed CG Newsletter (previously Keenspace Newsletter) is out. There’s an interview and review dedicated to Legostar Galactica.

And, in case of Newsgrounds, it’s not insignificant number of potential readers. That’s why I think it’s important to go there and vote for this flash movie, to help put webcomics plug on front page of Newsgrounds. Continue Reading →

According to Chris Crosby himself, two great KeenSpace comics: “Elf Only Inn” and “Count Your Sheep” have been added to Keenspot.

EOI was No 1 on the Keenspace guide for some time (representing 23% of Keenspace’s visits), and CYS, although a relatively young comic, was quickly recognized for it’s unique webcomic goodness. Continue Reading →
