Some truly amazing comics that have come out during these death throes:

I Kill Giants
Action Philosophers!
Mouse Guard
Crécy
Pride of Baghdad
Power Girl
All-Star Superman
Incredible Hercules

and, yeah, many webcomics.

Loved reading Watchmen, thought the film did it good service. Different perhaps, but I think the characters and the world they inhabited felt similar enough for me. Liked V too, but I never read it so can't really comment.

As for the decline of comics/graphic novels...I look to the internet. There are a lot of really bad webcomics, but there are some real diamonds out there with great artwork and writing and all they need is a succesful kickstarter to get into print.

The video here http://www.escapistmagazine.com/videos/view/zero-punctuation/108-Webcomics is live but I cannot update the code here for some reason.

I periodically try to isolate myself from the news media for a few days or weeks or whatever. Like all news. So no videosift, no TDS, no Blue's News, no /., etc. etc. etc. Pretty much limits my Internet usage to what's required for work and webcomics.
I've gotta say, it's pretty wonderful. The mind clears.


I basically try do this every weekend, though it's specific to politics. No news, no political blogs, minimal Videosift, etc.

Upvote because she's reading www.xkcd.com during one of the calls.
Best. Webcomic. Ever.

Well it depends on your expectations really, I certainly think that audiobooks can be as compelling if not more so when told by a talented reader.>> ^Deano:

So a webcomic is where they partially animate the original panels from a graphic novel? Seems an odd thing to do and it doesn't really work in my opinion. It's designed to be read at your own pace, not out loud by someone else.

Fuck xkcd. It could be renamed "Badly-Drawn Webcomic for Self-Important Cunts" and completely explain both its purpose and short-comings.


LOL! I like that.

The disclaimer on the comic's homepage:
"Warning: this comic occasionally contains strong language (which may be unsuitable for children), unusual humor (which may be unsuitable for adults), and advanced mathematics (which may be unsuitable for liberal-arts majors)."

So which one are you?

Spoken like someone who doesn't get it. Just type "Dane Cook" in the search box and all this horrible thinky shit will go away.

Also about 5 forums and 9 webcomics

I'm glad that Zach Weiner started SMBC theater. He's got perhaps the most consistently funny webcomic on the Internet.

To quote the webcomic, "Get Your War On":

"Seriously. Don't you people worry about ghosts?"
