If there’s one thing that I don’t see enough in webcomics, it is crusty old men as protagonists. In a world swarmed with ne’er do well college to young working adult aged  anti heroes with a somewhat alternative outlook on life, it is refreshing to see that Patrick Hoover has opted to go old or go home. And to top it all off, he does it with...

It seems with all of the raving going on about The Avengers, it seems fairly easy to forget that on the other side of the comics divide (if you take the simplistic Marvel vs. DC point of view anyway) there’s another iconic team that just is not being given quite the share of attention that it should. We have posed that question here at ComicBooked.com, why...

What a glorious day, as for the first time ever I will be able to buy comics on my Comixology app from Marvel!   This new agreement means that not only can I buy practically any other comic company’s comics, but Marvel is now available as well!   This has been a long time coming, and I was starting to wonder if Marvel was ever going to actually sign up....

Mark Waid, one  of the industry’s most vocal supporters of digital comics, has just launched his digital comics imprint.  Thrillbent is live right now, and you can currently access his proof of concept comic Luther, written Waid, with art by Jeremy Rock, colors by Robt Snyder, and letters by Troy Peteri, as well as the first issue  of...

A number of weeks ago, Goblins was covered in our five mini review format, which was good because it deserved to be highlighted, but bad because such a small blurb does not adequately describe the greatness that Tarol Hunt, aka Thunt, has made into webcomic form. What starts out as an already funny “let’s poke fun at the rather hilarious foibles of the...

The first Earth Day was celebrated back in 1970 as a means to educate and raise political awareness of conservation and environmental issues, following a massive 1969 oil spill in Santa Barbara, CA. Earth Day has grown since its humble beginnings 42 years ago, and this year people from 192 countries around the globe will take part in Earth Day celebrations. ...

I don’t know about the rest of you, but those “vegetarian” vampires that look like they belong in an Avon commercial every time they sparkle under the sun really ruined vampires for me. I got pretty sick of the ancient, Transylvanian bloodsuckers; but even so, dear Count Dracula still holds a place in my heart. The world’s first vampire, the one who...

Zenescope is releasing a new web series, Comic Company which will follow the day-to-day life in a comic company office in Philidelphia. There’s a catch though, some of Zenescope’s popular comic characters will be employed at the office. Hilarity is sure to ensue when Comic Company is released today. Press Release: Comic book and graphic novel...

As promised from last time, I said that I would be changing the format, and this week, I’m delivering on that threat! I am glad to say that I have a very prestigious accomplice in this goal, the very talented and prolific Ursula Vernon, creator of Digger.  I’ve mentioned her work before, but I consider Digger to be truly a masterpiece in the...

Con season continues with C2E2!  News is bound to flourish, and Mark Waid is keeping his name in the mix with an announcement about a comic website!  I’ve been writing about the possibility of a new digital revolution in comic books for a while now, and Mark Waid’s name is one that keeps coming up again and again.  He was involved from the beginning with...

I’m new to The Umbrella Academy, so I didn’t know what to expect when I tuned in for this week’s motion comic from Dark Horse on the YouTube premium channel Geek and Sundry. What can I say, except that it was good fun? The Umbrella Academy is an offbeat, quirky group of super-powered siblings. The story opens with The Umbrella Academy…but...

Thanks for checking out Webcomics Wednesday, with a focus on robots. Yes, we’ve done this before. But robots are awesome, so don’t complain. If there were one element I’d say was a surefire element that one has crossed into the science fiction genre, it is the presence of robots. If cryogenic freezing were an option that allowed us to be frozen...

Not to be confused with Powerpuff Girls Z, the PPG Doujinishi is a series of webcomics by Victor Ngo, more commonly known as Bleedman. If you’ve been keeping up with the hype of being a 90’s kid that has been made very prevalent on both Twitter and Facebook, this webcomic will without a doubt bring up a sense of nostalgia comparable to that of Toonami’s...

Thanks for checking out another installment of Webcomics Wednesday! This time we’re taking a look at quirky webcomics. Quirkiness is probably best understood as the peculiar, be it manifested in personality, action, or themes. Quirkiness can also be defined as the weird things, on a scale from “slightly bizarre” to “what the what,”...
