LISTEN!
Tantz and Pitface join Banes and Ozone to talk about comic book stores and the experience of going into them… Yes, that's right: webcomicers actually going into REAL bricks and mortar places that sell comics printed on PAPER! o_O It turns out that none of us really do ...
Quackcast 229 - Enter the Dragon's den: comic book shops
Ozoneocean at 12:00AM, July 28, 2015FRIDAY NEWSPOST - Inner Turmoil in Comics
HippieVan at 12:00AM, Oct. 17, 2014
Comics are a great medium for action-heavy stories, but showing inner conflict without massive walls of text can be difficult. The other day I picked up a very disappointing graphic novel version of “Frankenstein” - it read like an illustrated summary of the book, not reflecting any of the angst and ...

No, this not “The Big One” earthquake that is supposed to wreak havoc on Los Angeles one day. Today's newspost is to shine a spotlight on the winners of the three coveted DD Awards spots that Niccea likes to call “The Big Ones”. The last day for awards announcements ...

skoolmunkee at 10:25AM, June 22, 2012
Hey guys, it's time for a little public service announcement about the 2012 Drunk Duck Awards! The ball is rolling, but it's a big heavy ball and needs lots of rollers. That's my hamfisted metaphor to describe how much community effort it takes to successfully pull off ...

Monday feature -> El Comikaze
skoolmunkee at 12:01AM, Feb. 20, 2012
How to describe El Comikaze? I'm not really sure! You don't see many comics like this one around. It's a strange, colorful “freeform” comic, almost a stream-of-consciousness thing. Ostensibly it depicts a dream, which accounts for much of the weirdness and metamorphoses. It's not quite nonsensical ...
THURSDAY FEATURE --> Glass Hearts
Ozoneocean at 3:03AM, Jan. 26, 2012
Glass Hearts is a true soap opera comic of huge scope. The author, Star_samurai, describes the genre and theme more knowledgeably than I possibly could:
“Shounen-ai & soft yaoi / angst / romance / comedy/humor After two years, a 16-year-old Charlie McDermott returns to his hometown and to his previous friends. Many things ...
