Local Heroes by Keith Quinn
Local Heroes by Keith Quinn, is a solid new superhero webcomic. If it can deliver more exciting and original storylines to match it’s well-done artwork, it has a good chance of catching on.
From Webslingers to Webcomics: Comic Book Publishers Online
DC and Marvel have dominated the comic book marketplace for decades with tales of radiated, atomic, DNA-scrambled, mutant superheroes. Can they dominate the web as well?
Three Years of Comixpedia
A little love letter to the magazine that could.It’s the third anniversary of Comixpedia this issue.
2006 is the fourth year we’ve been writing about webcomics. We’ve put out 38 monthly issues of the magazine and published more than 600 reviews, interviews and other articles about webcomics. We’ve posted more than 2500 news posts (that’s not counting the magazine).

A Conversation With Joe Zabel
Joe Zabel is both a webcomics creator (most recently he finished The Ice Queen: A Trespassers Mystery) and the founder of The Webcomics Examiner. I really enjoyed our conversation – the topics ran all over — from Joe's webcomic work to Harvey Pekar and journal webcomics to the future for webcomics in general.
The Comixpedia End of 2005 Roundtable
A freewheeling discussion about the wide world of webcomics with Eric Burns, Wednesday White, Phil Kahn, Giland Pellaeon, Bob Stevenson, Ping Teo, Daku, Karl Kuras, Doctor Setebos and William G, moderated by Xaviar Xerexes.
You may have noticed that in 2005, the "webcomics blogosphere" took off like never before. There were almost as many people writing about webcomics as making them (okay not really, but there were a whole lot more blog posts about webcomics this year.) We gathered together several popular bloggers for an online roundtable discussion on webcomics here at the tail end of 2005.
We talked about webcomics and creators, art and commerce and of course, webcomics drama. Plus some predictions for the year ahead.
Will Eisner’s John Law by Gary Chaloner, Reviewed by Xaviar Xerexes
NOTE: This is a parallel review in which we have two reviewers looking at the same comic. The other review is by Andrew Leal.
John Law is a character, originally created by Will Eisner in the 1940s, whom he ultimately did not actually publish. Instead he repurposed the work he did for this character into stories for his more well-known comic, The Spirit. Despite some claims to the contrary, the full-fledged character of John Law only appeared in print when Eclipse Comics published a one-shot book in 1983 titled John Law, Detective #1.

Keep on Schlockin’ in the Free World by Xaviar Xerexes
Howard Tayler loves the puns. And the guns. Oh, does he love the guns.
Tayler’s Schlock Mercenary is one of the monster strips of old school webcomics with archives stretching back to June of 2000. Tayler has been plotting the adventures of one androgynous blob named Schlock for almost 5 years now, every day of every week of the year.
And to think it all started with one little "ommmmminous hummmmmmmm…"

Five Years of American Elf, Reviewed by Xaviar Xerexes
American Elf: The Collected Sketchbook Diaries of James Kochalka compiles five years of Kochalka’s journal comic into one volume. Most narrative artforms engage in at least some bit of hyper-reality, that is condensing stories to leave out the boring or nonessential parts. What can we make of a book then, that is comprised entirely of bits and pieces, and is just as likely to leave out important events as include them?
