Damaged Protagonists

Banes at 12:00AM, March 31, 2016

Granted, some heroes are, well, just heroes, who are pretty much who they need to be from the beginning ...

ENDINGS part two

Banes at 12:00AM, Jan. 21, 2016




I read that a great ending should be “surprising but inevitable”. That's a tall order! To have the whole story leading to that inevitable conclusion, but not be predictable. Wow!

However, I've seen (and read…ah, let's be honest; mostly it's “seen”) several great endings that ...

Character Profile: JUGHEAD.

Banes at 12:00AM, Aug. 6, 2015



I'm not sure who the first fictional character was that I became attached to. The Cat in the Hat? Superman? Jason Voorhees, maybe?

In any case, Jughead Jones was somewhere in that early group of beloved characters. I liked Archie, and envied his dating life with Betty and Veronica ...

Traditional Art in Webcomics

HippieVan at 12:00AM, Feb. 6, 2015



We've talked a few times in newsposts and Quackcasts about how tablets have made digital art more convenient than ever. But as much as I enjoy the clean lines and bright colours of digital drawing, when inspiration strikes I still often find myself reaching for my sketchbook and ProMarkers ...

It's a Bird. It's a Plane! No, wait, is it The Rat?!

In the same vein as other comic heroes that name themselves after creatures, the Rat is a bit unique.

Danny is a high school student from North Side Chicago's Irving Park neighborhood and living with ...

Staying Positive in Troubled Times

kawaiidaigakusei at 12:00AM, Aug. 25, 2014



I have been trying to avoid the real world news the last few weeks because it just goes from bad to worse to even more worse. Just last night, there was a large earthquake in Northern California, Iceland is getting ready for another volcanic eruption, and Dr. Hammond from Jurassic ...

FRIDAY NEWSPOST - Representation in comics

HippieVan at 12:00AM, July 11, 2014



I've written about Archie comics before - it seems every time I go searching for comic news they've got some new gimmick. (See my “jumping the shark” newspost, about Archie being killed off)

This time, they've added yet another character to the Archie comics line up in an ...
