Happy Day after Halloween! Here are some of my favorite recent webcomics:
Cat and Girl go trick-or-treating!
OK, this one from Dinosaur Comics isn't Halloween-themed but it is funny.
Finally, Vexxar and crew sit around telling scary stories:
Comic Book Resources reports that DC is pulling the plug on Minx. This is too bad. In fact, it sucks. Brian Wood agrees with me.
In lighter news, A Japanese comic is responsible for wild increases in the sales of specific wines.
Also, XKCD continues to rule.
First, I want to plug another blog I contribute to: Geekzor! It's a listing of weird, geeky ephemera that a bunch of us think is cool.
Francesco Marculiano, the guy who writes Sally Forth as well as writes and draws Medium Large, has put Comic Strip Writing 101 on his site. It is one of the funniest things I have ever read and even has some good advice amidst the drunken ramblings. You know, kind of like the internet.
IGN interviewed David Hine and Fabrice Sapolsky about Marvel's upcoming 'noir Spider-Man' title. Also on the way: noir versions of Daredevil, X-Men, and Wolverine. Because it is written on great stone tablets deep in Marvel's basement that Wolverine must appear in everything.
USA Today online has a story about Alissa Torres, a 9/11 widow who wrote a graphic novel about her experience. It was drawn by Sungyoon Choi.
And just because I can't get enough of it, here's a picture of a bunny cold-cocking a turtle:
Here's one from the Unshelved archives. If you're reading this blog, you can relate to the last panel or you know someone who can
Regular (but not daily) updates will resume here on Noetic Concordance.
To get us started again, here's an appropriate strip from Unshelved:
Awesome Cover Friday is on the way. Until then, enjoy these Super-hero Christmas Lists from Shortpacked.
Little Dee is one of my favorite webcomics. It's cute, funny, and well-drawn. The video above is taken directly from a couple of weeks' worth of strips and, well, you just have to see it. No one can be told what "We Rogues of Wool" is.
I think Arthur Suydam is a great artist. I don't blame him for all the zombie covers. Still, I'm tired of them.
I think R Stevens agrees with me.
Eric Powell's stuff is on display at the Tennessee Arts Commission Gallery right here in Nashville until November 30th. So, if you're nearby, check it out! I'm gonna!
And for those of you who haven't seen this on the Comics Curmudgeon yet:
Mary Worth + Kung Fu Fighting = AWESOME!
Also, Helpful tip: Putting the words "Dick" and "Ass" in the title of one of your blog posts increses your traffic. Who knew?
I was out of town (and away from the internet) yesterday so this installment didn't make it into the official record.
This week's sucker punch is brought to you by Turtle vs. Bunny! Just call me "Again With The Webcomics".
Bahlactus asks: Are you a Rabbit or are you a Turtle?
Shortpacked brings up some good points about Batman's childhood.
Speaking of Batman, here's a picture of Harley Quinn from this year's Dragon*Con:
DC Comics to Launch Zudacomics.com. It'll be a collection of webcomics. Here's what they've got up so far. The site won't be truly live until October and their bullet points are a little too "hip" and "down with the young folks" in tone but it's a cool idea. So, if you've got a webcomic you want to send in, get crackin'.
Speaking of webcomics, I think I'll start one based on the LOLcats feed of Noetic Concordance:
Shortpacked brings us an alternative version of the new Fantastic Four movie.
The Wayans Brothers' comic Super Bad James Dynomite has been optioned for a movie. This raises the question: The Wayans Brothers wrote a comic book?!?
In other news, I'm still pretty pissed off that Frank Miller is directing The Spirit. I'll just focus on this Darwyn Cooke cover instead:
