This week Al Schroeder interviews Alpha Shade's Joseph and Christopher Brudlos and Alicia Curtis reviews Slow Wave.

We also have part 2 of Alexander Danner's Practical Guide to Collaboration and a column on collaboration, Collaborative Webcomics Are No Sin from Michael McGovern. Last but not least Ping Teo delivers The Essence of... Collaboration.

Also be sure to check out the ongoing May Day Event at Comixpedia - there are several new comics posted for this week's cliffhanger scenario!
