Webcomics in paper formats
ComiXpress is a new service for independent comix artists that will print books (no minimum orders), act as their online store, then fulfill the order and notify the artist of the sale, so that the only thing the artist needs to worry about is creating their comix. Currently, several PV Comics are listed in the catalog and available for sale. Continue Reading

Have you ever had one of those really vivid, epic dreams, one where the first thought that crosses your semi-conscious mind when you wake up the next morning is, "Damn… that dream would make a great book! Where’s my pen, I gotta write this down…"?

Andrew Arnold gets around to reviewing Derek Kirk Kim's Same Difference.
Among other things, Kim has an impressively varied cartooning style. While 'Super Unleaded' gets rendered with a cinematic look that underscores its naturalism, 'Oliver Pikk' has a zany, Saturday morning cartoonishness. 'Same Difference' deftly combines these two styles, blending a realistic approach with some silly caricature.

Details on how to purchase the book are available at this link. (Although the UK link hasn’t been fully sorted, those of you wishing to purchase the book from the US link can do so already.) Continue Reading
