Submitted by Xaviar Xerexes on October 27, 2006 - 11:39

What stories are you interested in Comixpedia writing about in the upcoming months? I'm not asking here for comics to review or people to interview, but subjects that we could focus on writing about in-depth. What do you want to read about?

Cain is Able Launches at Bomb Shelter Comics

Submitted by Sean C on October 23, 2006 - 13:45

So, after a brief time away from comicking, I have gotten back into the swing of things. Today, Cain is Able, my new project, launched over at Bomb Shelter Comics. Besides being a new, solo project, it also has the distinction of being the first comic hosted at BSC.

Since the first strip won't tell you too much, allow me to share the premise -

Tate Cain, a rising star at CNN, suddenly leaves for the new All News Station, yet another 24 hour news network run by his friend and former mentor, John Cochrane. He enters a world of bizarre news stories, an eclectic cast of up and coming broadcasters, and plenty of real-world events will be lampooned, along with news you won't find on the networks.

Sparkneedle archives are now free (formerly only available to Girlamatic subscribers).

Digital Strips looks at the rotating cast of artists on the webcomic Pet Professional. Are there really four artists on that strip now? Wow...

It's been one year since the founding of Blank Label Comics.

New Peter Bagge webcomic on the "war on drugs" at Reason magazine. Cranky middle-age libertarian goodness!

Kris Straub is working on a second Starslip Crisis book and his webcomic has just hit the one year mark as well.

Fleen checks into Owen Dunne's My New Mommy webcomic. It's ending. And Fleen thinks Dunne's website navigation is confusing. Most of what Dunne has done is pretty hilarious IMO.

Tom Spurgeon rounds up reports on the recent BookExpo America event in Washington DC.

Gluemeat celebrates various Canadian holidays. I wish we had Muffin Day in the states too...

The Bone website has been redone and now features a blog from creator Jeff Smith.

Cartridge Comics

Submitted by Chris Jeffery on May 15, 2006 - 23:41

Hi everyone, I'm Chris Jeffery, artist for Cartridge Comics, which has been running for what's getting close to a year now and is (in my opinion) doing quite well. Thought I'd drop by and say hello. I'm part of the Bomb Shelter Comics collective as well, which boasts the likes of Combustable Orange, Divine Dramedy, and Leftville, so I'm pretty proud of it.
