First off - let me thank current advertisers La Muse: Season 2 and the Learn to Draw the Human Figure training course. We've got two more blog ad spots open right now if you've got a project or product to tell Comixtalk's readers all about. (Those project wonderful ads up top seem to be going pretty cheap this morning right now as well)
READER BLOGS
Be sure to check out Comixtalk reader blogs as I've probably been less perfect about promoting them to the front page this summer (being on vacation and all) - I especially want to point out a recent one entitled Hard Lessons Learned from Tony Esteves on his shipping his stuff to conventions that is pretty interesting and might have been missed by folks.
Rooktopia likes The Perry Bible Fellowship. One point about this comic I think he gets especially right: "At its most risque, the strip just feels pleasant and inoffensive. This might be the biggest reason why Nick doesn’t receive negative feedback: who can complain about a webcomic that’s this superficially sweet?"
AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 BLOGS
The webcomic Too Much Information gets "reviewed" by the Something Awful website. And yes it's true - it's not like they ever have anything nice to say about anyone. I read through some of the TMI webcomic yesterday - the writing does have some good moments but you really wish the creator would improve the artwork a bit. Even after two years of the comic, the Poser-created artwork still looks awfully stiff and generic.
ComicBookBin reports that Samurai Elf: Gathering Storm (Volume 1) is now available in English, Spanish, Portuguese and Japanese. Samurai Elf is now available as a webcomic so this multi-translation effort might be some kind of first. Samurai Elf is described as set in the fantastical world of Tyr, where a string of global wars have wracked the lands and sent civilization back into feudal times.
