Mike Wieringo draws Silent Kimbly

Submitted by ryansias on April 24, 2007 - 00:13

This week is a guest comic week at Silent Kimbly.

Today it started off with an AWESOME comic by comic book superstar Mike Wieringo. Who's drawn Flash, Fantastic Four and is currently drawing Spider Man. Here is what he said about Silent Kimbly:

I've enjoyed the web strip SILENT KIMBLY by Ryan Sias for quite some time. It's a very funny, gentle and sweet strip that usually involves a cast of very cute characters in scenarios that illustrate a play on words. Ryan is an incredibly imaginative guy and a terrific artist. Recently he contacted me to ask if I'd be willing to draw a guest strip for him, and I was happy to comply with that request. Ryan just posted the strip I drew, and I've posted it here as well, but click the link and head over and read his SILENT KIMBLY archives. You'll discover how wonderful a world Ryan has created.

and here is what i say about Mike W:

Today's guest comic is by one of my Favorite comic book artist. Mike Wieringo. He's best know for his run on the Fantastic Four, and is currently the artist on Friendly Neighborhood spider man. So I was Amazed when I learned he was a fan of Silent Kimlby. He was kind enough to draw me this GREAT comic, I colored it for him and I think the results are Fantastic! : ) I love how Kimbly looks, her hair and her outfit. All the character look great!!Honesty this is one of the coolest Kimbly drawing's I ever seen. I love it so much, I can't thank Mike enough.. It's AWESOME!!

The March of the Collectives

March 12, 2007 - 00:44 | Xaviar Xerexes

A collective, loosely defined, is any sustained grouping of webcomic creators. What they do together varies greatly from group to group. Some are largely a peer group offering each other critical feedback and encouraging support. Others throw in cross-promotion for each others' work. Some build a collective brand with logos, advertising and a central website. Some share business experience and expertise in areas as varied as merchandise, books, conventions, hosting and website creation.

And what did I find from my research? There's a tremendous number of collectives out there (and that I never want to attempt another "survey" article again). And, oh yeah, checking out collectives can be a great way to find excellent new comics.

Ice Ice Baby: Comixpedia Puts Wally & Osborne Creator Tyler Martin On The Rocks

January 15, 2007 - 23:22 | Xaviar Xerexes and Al Schroeder

In his hilarious comic, Wally & Osborne, Tyler Martin has been educating us about Antarctica in a delightful way. In this interview, Martin enlightens us about life, liberty, and the unlikelihood of polar bears at the South Pole.

What's your background?

Currently it's a JPG of a cat with a transparent CD spindle cover over its head and a caption that reads "Going to the moon, brb".

Oh, you mean... yes. I thought that was an awkward way to start off.
