Ender’s Blog and Other Webcomic News

Just to lead off – PAX pox is on the loose… and in a funny guest Penny Arcade comic from Fox Trot cartoonist Bill Amend.

MILESTONES
Farewell Scary Go RoundA longer goodbye message from creator John Allison on his blog here.  After reading the actual ending, I have no idea what’s in store in his next comic — which happily, I believe, kicks off on Monday. 

DEAD TREES
Randall Munroe has a book coming out!  xkcd: volume 0 will be released in the xkcd store next week. And Munroe will be on a limited book tour to support it. (Also today’s xkcd?  I wonder how you’d have to tweak Ender’s Game in the blog/tweet/etc world of today?  I mean part of its storyline basically reads "1. Blog; 2. ????; 3. World Domination!"  Anyhow – another brilliant comic from Munroe.)

REVIEWS
Webcomic Week reviewed Chris Flick’s Capes N Babes recently and Derik Badman reviews Kramer’s Ergot 7.
