There's not much I can say about Engine that hasn't been said before. The artwork started out as stunning and then got better from there. The most recent run of pages has added greyscale toning and that has pretty much elevated them from great to perfect. There are definite echoes of Kirby in the style and that alone ought to be reason enough to make you want to go and see it; but when every page is also a breakneck action-fest liberally laced with a mischievous sense of humour, it becomes irresistible.
So stop resisting. Go see!
*****************************
Don't resist going to see today's instalment of Shades, either! One of our heroes has washed up in Victorian London for some reason and doesn't seem to have brought a top hat to help him blend.
Actually, he doesn't seem to have brought any clothes to help him blend. Could this be how the fine art of streaking first originated?!

Shades much like Engine there's not much I can say about DAJB's work that hasn't been said before, but I'm gonna say it again anyways. If you're tired of superhero comics without a soul, if you're looking for a hero comic that has an interesting cast of non-standard heroes or just want a change! Go read Shades now!

Fun update. I like the disembodied speech bubble, and the non-ballpoint inking worked out nicely.

There's a close call over in Used Books as Seiko meets a character who is “familiar” with her family but not yet acquainted with her. He and his partner have finally rejoined the story after a brief (but well-deserved) stay in a maximum security prison. (If you go back to yesterday's page, you can see a color update I forgot to mention. And a fun bit of fan art I received.)

Looks like I get to return the favor, Katch!! I love the monster design in this comic. It is well drawn, and well laid out. This update ends with a nasty “creak” sound on the last panel, with our hero looking a bit un-nerved……I love a good cliffhanger,..but the wait is what sucks!!! Nice job!! I will definately come back to see what happens next!!

Mister Kent: You've got a pretty polished style. Looks good, although I don't think your coloring compliments your line-art all that well, that's just my opinion though. I think if the colors were less bright and the shading was clearer, you'd have a top notch comic on your hands.

This is my first look at Cosmic Dash. It has a nice, animated look to it, and is well done. The colors stick out very nicely, and the writing seems top notch. I am already intrigued about the “egg” and will definately check back to see what that little feller is all about.

In this one, Doctor Shadow turns his attention into character development, which is a critical point in every comic. Keep doing your marvelous work, man!

Telenime shows us that our friends will always be there for us, even when we have herpes
Meanwhile, Freakenburg delivers a nice Yakov Shrmirnov (I think that's how it's spelt) reference and shows us that even the ill can make a crack to lessen their pain.
And both feature a simple yet amusing and heartwarming style of drawing

Warriors of the Night - I like the flat shading…I'm thinking of trying something similar on one of my comics…though on the second panel, I had trouble telling what was happening. I had to look at the next panel to decipher it. I think it is the shadowing on the robes that is the issue. More specifically the arm…with a bit more shading on the underside of the arm it would look better IMHO

In this weeks Kenyagi, Tension builds with the simple, but possibly prophetic murmurings of a dreaming girl…….Someone yelling, “no, no…run away” in their sleep is always a BAD sign…at least in my opinion.

Miette, the girl rescued from slave auction in Kenyagi, is having a restless night's sleep in today's update. Not sure what she's dreaming about yet, but you should get over there quick. You can admire Kiandranishan's pretty colours while you're waiting for her to wake up!
EDIT: Oops - crossposted with the above. Well … I don't really need to tell you why you should visit Engine, do I? No sleep, restless or otherwise, just lots of crazy martial arts, magic powers and Tim Tyler's eye-boggling artwork.
Ummm - yup. I think that about covers it!
*******************
No sleep for anyone in the latest instalment of Shades, either. Our little Victorian interlude continues as a “lady of ill repute” is invited to join a rather strange religious service.
Weird religions, heaving bosoms … You've seen enough Hammer Horror movies to know what happens next, right?!

Shades is getting downright addictive. I have loved the Victorian flashbacks scenes, but the newest one also reaveals the beginnings of a dark, ritual of somekind that is about to take place. This is one of Drunk Ducks best, most consistant series. Check it out and lets all speak Old English for a day!! Amaze your friends with old talk!
……………………………………………………………
Yes……..I know….Like Miss Spears once said, “oops…I did it again….” Engine updates again. I just wanted to get the story moving along. Action is fine when it is moving at a quick pace…but when it is seperated by days, it doesnt flow as well.
The robot has some smack-down instilled upon it by an old guy!!
