Month: July 2012

Jesse Munoz and Rian Miller are currently running a kickstarter for their comic Broken Legacy.

Pretty cool sounding story and they have put a lot of blood, sweat and tears into it.  Take a look and throw some support to an indie comic if you can.

You want to read the most awesome, hilarious, and disturbing comic ever!  Then read Two Guys and Guy, a.k.a TWOGAG, a.k.a 2GAG, a.k.a 2AWESOME.

And I am not just saying that because the creator, Rickard, is a really good buddy of mine.

2GAG really is a great comic.  I am not sure how he takes the most horrible people and makes them likable.  One is a self centered, sadistic siren with a soul of black. Another I’m pretty sure is a mad scientist bent on either ruling or destroying earth.  Aliens are afraid of this guy.  The last is of unknown origin.  Is he a clone, is he a robot, is his IQ higher then that of a newborn?

Lots of dark humor and luscious artwork to gorge yourself on, you won’t even notice your soul shriveling up into a sickly black pit of hatred and loathing.

Before you ask, yes this is a take on Walking Dead and Michonne with some crazy grindhouse colors.  I hadn’t really intended the colors, but it just sort of happened.  Here is the original ink wash.  Wanted to included because I had some fancy pink watercolor on it.

Who here loves Happle Tea?

Since you can’t see me, hopefully anyways, I am raising my hand.  I found this comic a few months ago and have been gorging myself on its archives.

Mythology, fantasy, fairy tales, monsters, humor.  I love the world that Happle Tea lives in.  So much so that I really got carried away with this piece.  When I was deciding what to draw, all my favorite strips flooded my brain.  I couldn’t just draw Lil K, it wouldn’t have been enough.  I needed to draw everything in a vain attempt to visit the world of Happle Tea just for a little while.  I really want to bring that full world type of story telling into my own comic.

The writer/artist Scott Maynard has a great sense of humor.  Whether putting a unique spin on a favorite fairy tales or just coming out of left field with some kind of clever insanity, I always found myself showing my girlfriend another strip she just had to read.  To top it all off, he’s just a great artist.  It’s a charming, storybook style but with a bit of a biting edge.

Don’t take my word for it.  Go read it.

I’m always on the lookout for a great read.  So if you have any comics you can’t live without, please pass it my way.  Comics, webcomics, a Kickstarter, whatever.

I really love webcomics.  I love reading them and I love passing along comics I love to other people.  So I am always going to be telling you to read this comic or read that comic.  You’ll hear it a lot from me.

However, if you were to only listen to one of my suggestions then let it be ‘His Face All Red‘ by Emily Carroll.  Emily is a brillant storyteller and HFAR has to be one of my favorite single story telling moments ever.  I get chills every time I read it.  So do yourself a favor and check it out.  You can read the whole thing in under 5 minutes.  Yes, your world will be blown in under 5 minutes.

Act now, internets are waiting!

I wish I could tell you some stuff about this comic to make you go read it, but I don’t want to give away any moment.  I don’t even want to suggest at anything.

She has a whole slew of other mini comics available on her site that you should also check out.  Each one is a magical gem, kind of a modern fairy tale.

I AM ARG!  NSFW

Today we have a webcomic that is just full of all kinds of oddball humor.  At times NSFW, but all times hilarious.  It really runs the gambit when it comes to topics.  Video games, relationships, politics, movies, private parts.

Plus the design of Andrew…AWESOME!.  Those giant, empty eyes suck me in.
