Xeno Comics

OK, I’m lazy.  There.

I can’t promise regular updates.  It’s just not going to happen.

I’ll try to get extra content up on the site, but for now, you’ll just have to make due with regular Vlad comics, courtesy of Estragon.  I can write them, no problem, but drawing them and posting them, for whatever reason, beyond my abilities.

Anyhoo…


Webcomics Other Than Us - Pt. 1

So I read alot of webcomics.  I don’t know what the normal amount is, but I have over twenty loaded for daily consumption (thanks to the awesome Morning Coffee plugin for Firefox).  I like to talk about them, but no one really likes to listen, so I thought I’d post that stuff here.  Just in case the Comittee of Geeks calls upon me, I will have thorough proof of my geekiness.

First up in this ’series’ is inkdick.  Normally I would say that autobiographical comics hold zero interest for me, and in the past this has been true.  I actually came across this comic while looking for places to advertise Vlad on Project Wonderful.  Maybe I liked it because Pranas, the creator, is going to the school I want to go to, doing the things I want to do (attending cons and making comics).  For whatever reason, I dug it, and read the entire archive in a single day.

What he does right:

  • The art is cool and charming.  I grew up loving super hero books, but over the last five years I have really come to enjoy a much broader range of styles.
  • The stories are short intimate glances at a relatively normal life. He keeps them short and to the point, so its an easy quick read that keeps you interested.

What he does wrong:

  • I read the entire archive in essentially one sitting, so this wasn’t apparent to me, however reading the story it becomes clear that there has been issues with keeping a regular posting schedule. On this site I consider that sin numero uno; however I don’t doubt I will keep coming back for more.
