Comix Talk for ThursdayDecember 9, 2010

End of the year… end of a decade.  Awhile ago I asked for your memories of a decade in webcomics. Zoe Robinson just posted her thoughts on her experiences here.  I'm still interested and will link to your posts (or just post a lengthy comment here at ComixTALK).  

Also I just saw that Scott McCloud linked to this Matt Madden/Tom Hart invention: Tic Tac Jam.  It's a great format for a comic jam – I can't wait to give it a spin.

LEGAL: Law and the Multiverse doesn't have much to do with Jon Rosenberg's webcomic but it is a funny and interesting blog that applies the law to superhero situations.

REVIEW: El Santo reviews Critical Miss, a webcomic The Escapist website publishes after selecting it out of a contest it ran.

REREVIEW: Warren Peace is right about the detailed, energetic backgrounds in the graphic novel The Unsinkable Walker Bean.  It's a good book – reviewed here at ComixTalk.

PREVIEW: CBR has a lengthy preview of the graphic novel version of Axe Cop coming out later this month.

CONTEST: I got a note from John about the Rampage Network’s 7th Anniversary Contest which has 2 Grand Prize packages they're planning on giving away on Christmas Day. Each of the 2 Packages includes: Blade Runner Style LED UmbrellaColonel J. Fizziwig’s Steampunk Firearm (type TBA)Black Aviator Cap OR Victorian Coachman HatCustomized Pair of Basic Steampunk Googles, and a Wacom Intuos 4 Large.  This is one of those retweet deals – to enter the contest you have to retweet something from the contest page ("RT Win 2 grand prizes from Wacom Tablets, ThinkGeek, and others at http://rampagenetwork.com #rampagenetwork")

DEAD TREES: Yay! – Owly is getting published on paper in color – due for release next March.  Andy Runton's all ages comic is a joy to read; I don't know how else to describe it except for delightful.
