Dasien by Neil Purcell is a classic example of the superhero genre - lots of action, nefarious evil-doers and heroes in spandex.
This month, Kelly J. Cooper spends some time pinning down the words we use to describe webcomics. Words properly pinned, she next looks for what turns out to be a fairly elusive target: a webcomics dictionary.
Local Heroes by Keith Quinn, is a solid new superhero webcomic. If it can deliver more exciting and original storylines to match it's well-done artwork, it has a good chance of catching on.
Iain Hamp reviews two super-powered webcomics: Superslackers by Steven Charles Manale and Butterfly by Dean Trippe.
Al Schroeder interviews Steven Charles Manales, the creator of Superslackers, the winner of last year's Ignatz award for webcomics.
Not your typical superhero saga, the offbeat Superslackers comic is filled with delightfully odd superheroes such as Invisible Right Leg Lad, Ghoulfriend and The Wafter.
Al Schroeder talks with Thomas Floyd, the creator of the retro-pulp fiction action hero Captain Spectre. Floyd's webcomic skillfully recreates the feel of pulp novels and the old-time radio serials that gave us great characters like the Shadow, Doc Savage and the Green Hornet. We talk to Floyd about his own creation, his appreciation for the great pulp characters of the past and his plans in comics.
DC and Marvel have dominated the comic book marketplace for decades with tales of radiated, atomic, DNA-scrambled, mutant superheroes. Can they dominate the web as well?
Abby L., the creator of The Green Avenger, has created the Peter Parker of super-heroines... fallible, fun, realistic-looking and prone to weight fluctuations. Her superheroine saga often reworks standard superhero conventions either through flipping the genders (a character named Jack in the webcomic has been referred to as The Green Avenger's "Lois Lane") or simply by taking them in a new direction.
