TRANSMISSION X IN EFFECT

  • Jesus! Sin Titulo is killing me with the suspense. This is one intense webcomic.
  • Luz: Girl of The Knowing is such a well done comic it almost gets me past the fact that it is largely a public service message.
  • Ramon Perez's Kukuburi was one of the best comics of 2007 and I'm really looking forward to where it goes this year.
  • The Abominable Charles Christopher is hard to describe sometimes. Charming most of the time, it's a glimpse into the animals of the forest and the sweet yet apparently not to bright yeti that lives among them.
  • Kissing Chaos is graphically inventive but a little bit underdeveloped on the narrative front at this point.
  • I can't tell where Raising Hell is going - a romantic comedy set in a horror movie or a bit of a send-up of horror movies - either way it's another fun read with good pace, two solid main characters and nice artwork so far.
  • The Port is sort of interesting, but exploding demon cats are kind of silly really...

AWARDS

Milestones

  • Missed it but earlier this month Bryant Paul Johnson celebrated 8 years of his fantastic comic Teaching Baby Paranoia.
  • I think Nukees is hitting its 11th anniversary later this month... wow!

Nukees by Darren Bleuel started in 1997 following the wacky adventures of the main character Gav, a perpetual nuclear engineering graduate student. Here's an excerpt from the very first strip in the archives:

A more recent excerpt from this month below:

Actually the punchline to the above excerpt is a pretty good distillation of the Gav character (might not be a bad t-shirt either!):
