Tim Broderick Response to T Campbell's Feature

Tim Broderick posted an essay on his blog responding to part of T Campbell's feature this month, "Faith in Science: Detective Stories In A Confused World". Broderick, the creator of the mystery webcomic Odd Jobs, makes some interesting points in his post.

Mystery Webcomics: A List

Detective, suspense, parlor game, crime, noir, police procedural… these are all different ways to slice the mystery genre. But how to organize the Mystery WEBCOMICS? Alphabetically by title? By author? By sub-genre? Or perhaps semi-randomly, as the whim takes me? Yep. That'll do.

List Mystery Webcomics HERE, please

Hey folks,

I'm looking for any mystery webcomics (including ones that cross-over into other genres, like the supernatural) online.

An Introduction to Writing Mystery Webcomics

While every genre offers its own inherent challenges, especially when reworked for web publication, mystery stories offer concerns unlike those of any other genre. All stories raise the tension about what’s going to happen next, but mysteries are unique in being primarily concerned with unraveling events that have already happened. (This is the primary factor that distinguishes mysteries from other types of crime fiction, where the killer is already known, and the goal is simply to catch him or her.) This unusual structure leads to a number of complications in dealing with serialization, improvisation, and other commonplace facets of web publication.

November 2005 Issue

Cover Art by Tim Broderick.

November Issue's a Mystery

Our next issue features a great cover from Tim Broderick the creator of Odd Jobs which has three complete storylines at Modern Tales and a new one coming next year, titled "Children of the Revolution." So good I couldn't help post it a little early.

And a big thanks to Jamie Robertson from Clan Of the Cats for the cover from our October issue. Hope everyone is having a happy halloween tonight!

Rebooting Comixpedia, Part 3: Contributor Bios and Images

Part of the new publishing platform I'll be rolling out for the new Comixpedia site makes it a lot easier to publish the monthly magazine. Now all contributors will have one biography attached to all stories they write for us. This makes it easier for us (no need to retype each time a new story is published) and better for the contributor (no matter when someone reads a story they see your current biography).

If you've contributed to Comixpedia and want to submit a new bio go ahead and email me. Also, all contributors may now have a 100 x 100 pixel image to go with their stories. If you want to submit one, include it on an email to me.

I just finished loading in all of the stories published in 2003. Click read more for a list of contributors from that year. (One of the nice new features will be the ability to easily see all of the articles each contributor has written for Comixpedia.)
