Tuesday Round-Up of News
Submitted by Xaviar Xerexes on March 21, 2006 - 10:47
The Webcomics Examiner takes a look at Count Your Sheep by Adrian Ramos. Still going strong 3 years after its debut on Keenspace (since moved to Keenspot).
I haven't paid a lot of attention to this previously but the next "world-wide SketchCrawl" is scheduled for April 22nd. If you want to participate it sounds like there's more info on their forums. (Let Comixpedia know what it's all about if anyone does get involved.)
The latest Digital Strips podcast is an interview with Joey Manley who is behind sites such as Modern Tales, Webcomics Nation, GirlAMatic, Graphic Smash, Talk About Comics and Serializer.net. (I haven't listened to it yet though)
While I know there are some problems with the current top sites script at the Comixpedia portal (and once I get Comixpedia.com and Comixpedia.org "right" I'll turn back to reinvigorating that portion of Comixpedia-land) I just wanted to point out that Clan of the Cats (Library Entry) has been #1 on it the entire time. If you haven't before, go check out Jamie's comic. It's got an epic storyline with love, betrayal and a back-drop of pagan magik.

Check these articles below:
NYTimes (Regis. is req'd)

Can the articles be applied to webcomics?
Have webcomics being reduced to gabfests & talking heads? Or are there great examples of webcomics that follows the maxim "Action speaks louder than words?"
The Pulse Discovers Webcomics!
Submitted by Xaviar Xerexes on March 13, 2006 - 23:03
Okay that's a bit of an exaggeration, but between Joey Manley's latest Webhead column and a new feature called INTRO TO WEBCOMICS, they at least have some regular non-comic book coverage wedged into the site. The first Intro column is by Sara Turner wherein she writes a bit about her webcomic File 49.
Manley, Ellis and Isotopes
Submitted by Xaviar Xerexes on March 9, 2006 - 12:50
Hey don't forget -- March 15th at midnight is the deadline for submitting work for the the 2006 Isotope Award for Excellence in Mini-Comics.
And over at the Pulse, Joey Manley interviews Kathryn and Stuart Immonen, the creators of Never as Bad as You Think.
The Pulse also features comics writer Warren Ellis' column The Ministry wherein Ellis often dives into webcomics. I'm not sure I've been consistent in linking to it which is too bad because it's been good reading. So here you go:

Heidi MacDonald's review of 2005 includes comments from publisher and codesmith Joey Manley, creators Shaenon Garrity and Dave Roman and TCJ editor Dirk Deppey among many other comicbook folks I've never heard of. I'm webcomic-centric folks and proud of it!
