Comments Off

Well that was rather well timed, and no, I didn’t do it on purpose – what do you think I am? Organised? (I can hear Mrs B guffawing in the background). After the review of Paul Rainey’s Thunder Brother: Soap Division up on Friday, Paul’s blog announces that Thunder Brother: Soap Division is returning tomorrow [...]

Thunder Brother Soap Division By Paul Rainey Rainey’s got previous form with a long running, multi-character epic after his time travelling soap opera odyssey There’s No Time Like The Present. That was a great series, sprawling sci-fi meets tight, very personal soap opera characterisation. It concluded with issue 13 in 2010. And now he’s returned with Thunder [...]

Saturday, January 28, 2012

I don’t know if you’re anything like me or not, but I have a problem with webcomics. In fact I have two major problems: First, I don’t really like reading on screen all that much. I’m gradually getting used to reading single issue comics on screen for review, but anything longer just does my eyes [...]

Corporate Skull returns

Wednesday, January 11, 2012

Comments Off

Jamie Smart brings back his spleen-rupturingly funny Corporate Skull webcomic, with issue four kicking off this week. More cynical slices into corporate culture, more swears, more lashings of the old ultra violence and personal abuse. oh yes, sign me up. I’ve been loving this since it launched, it’s rude, crude and doesn’t give a flying [...]

Corporate Skull guest artist week

Comments Off

Regular readers will know that I am one of the sick, twisted individuals who has been hugely enjoying the even sicker, far more tightly twisted Jamie Smart’s Corporate Skull webcomic, which I previous described as “bum splittingly funny”, a statement I stand by, mostly standing because sitting down is hard after that. And yes, I [...]

After Adventures In Depression by Allie Brosch a couple of weeks ago, here’s another one to nail those feelings…. Cat Rackham Gets Depression by Steve Wolfhard (Via Julia Scheele, who got it via Sarah Gordon): This is merely the start, there’s a fair bit of depression to go…. but right at the end, so true to life, [...]

Paddy Brown’s Cattle Raid of Cooley has returned to the web, I’m pleased to see. The strip won Best Irish Webcomic in the 2011 Irish Comic News awards, and ICN’s Kevin Squire’s tipped it one of his five of the best Irish graphic novels, so I’m thinking we should be paying more attention. On a [...]
