Let's Go To The Videogame Chuck: Comics based upon (and licensed from) videogames: The Sacrifice by Mike Oeming turns the premise of Left 4 Dead into a webcomic and Chris Avellone created Fallout: New Vegas—All Roads! -- a graphic novel prequel to the upcoming videogame Fallout: New Vegas.
INTERVIEW: Pop Syndicate interviews Gisele Lagace and Dave of the webcomic Menage a 3.
REVIEW: Lauren Davis has a nice write-up of John Allison's Bad Machinery at the IO9 blog
HYPE: Caldwell Tanner combines history and Frank Miller perfectly in a parody over at College Humor! Very funny and I thought he nailed the garish energy of Miller's covers.
MAILBAG: Ian Terrell writes about his webcomic The Grumpiverse "that takes on the news of the day and week that makes us grumpy for one reason or another. We consider it a webcomic, although to some it might fall more under the category of political cartooning."

A Little Weekend Hype: Eerie Cuties
Submitted by Xaviar Xerexes on June 6, 2009 - 15:19
Gisèle Lagacé, who past webcomic work includes Ménage à 3, Penny & Aggie, and Cool Cat Studio, has a new webcomic called Eerie Cuties:
What is EC? Well, it's comedy horror meets cute. The cast consists of teenage monsters in high school. As strips go by, you'll learn a bit more about what makes this school "different." The header image already gives you hints to the type of monsters you'll see in EC. You'll meet them, and the rest of the cast, slowly but surely. :)

I've been posting some good stories Alexander Danner wrote for the prior version of webcomics.com. Another one today on whatever happenned to four (briefly) rock stars of webcomic.
Life Imitates Art Comics: James Kochalka wrote in a comic about a game in a dream he was having, somebody actually makes the game, now he makes a comic about it. Hmmm... That's a tempting power over the universe he seems to have developed.
AWARDS: The Canadian Joe Shuster Award nominations are out - the webcomics category is outstanding: Kate Beaton, Michael Cho, Lar De Souza & Ryan Sohmer, Kathryn & Stuart Immonen, Karl Kerschl, Gisele Lagace, Ramón K. Pérez, and Cameron Stewart.
INTERVIEWS: Newsarama has an interview with Bellen! creator Brian Brown about his new book and winning a Xeric grant.
SMALL SCREENS: Sean Kleefeld had a good post on some of the inherent challenges of smaller screens as a way to read/display comics.
NOT WEBCOMICS: The browser-based ZORK! game is out. Jim Zubkavich did gobs of great art for this.
JUSTIFY MY HYPE: Some comics I'm checking out: Rooby Moon and Schoolhouse Daze.
Who Are You?: An interview with T Campbell (Penny & Aggie, Divalicious!, and others)
Submitted by El Santo on March 2, 2009 - 05:00
If you spend any time with webcomics, chances are you’re going to run into something written or created by T Campbell. Mr. Campbell’s flagship work is the high school drama Penny & Aggie (reviewed here), which he co-created with artist Gisèle Lagacé. Yet, this comic writer has done much more: Rip & Teri, Search Engine Funnies, Cool Cat Studio, and the long-running Fans! Along with artist Amy Mebberson, he created Pop Star for the “Rising Stars of Manga” contest at TOKYOPOP, which would later become the comic known as Divalicious! T also co-created the webcomic transcription tool Oh No Robot with Ryan North of Dinosaur Comics.
I contacted T by e-mail, and he was very gracious about answering several questions I had, including a few about a project that he nowadays regrets: his book, A History of Webcomics.
Why aren’t we all updating Comixpedia?
Submitted by El Santo on February 25, 2009 - 15:06
Seriously.
I know folks are getting bummed out about how webcomics are being purged from Wikipedia over notability issues. However, webcomic artists already had a pretty decent wiki with Comixpedia.org. Why is no one using it?
