I pretty much agree with Paul O'Brien on most aspects Zuda, though I'd hold judgement on the stories for another update or two. The navigation is awkward, especially at fullscreen mode which is the only way to see most of the comics well, and I can't see much update-schedule info at all.

Just a head's-up - the "Brian Hibbs writes ..." link should be "Abhay Khosla writes ..."
