SPACE-MULLET!

What can I say? I ran across this comic last week and burned through its 50-ish pages in no time flat. Usually I am against mullets in all forms, but this webcomic mullet has won me over.

This is a great comic. The writing seems so simple but does an excellent job of making the characters relatable, making the relationship believable and humorous, and delivering emotions with a subtle punch.  And it’s only been 50 pages? Bloody hell.  In a lot of ways it reminds me a bit of Mignola’s writing. You get a sense that there is this huge epic world but it’s being told through a very personal, small story.

What happens when you take some hip-hop, some graffiti, some sci-fi, some ninja kicking action and smash it all together?

AIZAN!

This project is looking pretty sweet.  When Shawn said he was starting work on his own project, I was like cool.  But once I actually got to hear the story, I was blown away.  This is gearing up to be some superhero action for the modern day.  I really love where he’s coming from and his vision for the book.

He’s running a Kickstarter campaign right now, check it out and hear it from the man himself.

I had to give it some pin-up action.  How can you not want to read a story with a character that looks like this?

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.

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 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.
