Re: How to get better at writing comics?
Take a break from comics and practice writing prose. Refine your writing by getting critiques and experimenting with different genres. Read the genres you're interested in and study what those authors do, maybe rewriting pages or chapters that strike your fancy to better understand what the author i...

Re: Please review my superhero webcomic: Spark
I flipped through it a bit. Spelling and grammar look pretty good for the most part (alley is the space between buildings; ally is a friend or cohort). You structure many pages to encourage the reader to see what happens next, which is good: for example, instances where people look up and see someth...

Re: Greatest Villains of all time
Well most villains get their comeuppance Indeed, most...but not all. Which is why I vote Portia from The Merchant of Venice. She ruined her dad, got all his money, manipulated the main guy 'til he was literally her property, and got her girlfriend to do the same with his best buddy to basically tel...

Re: Deadhead Zero: The Liveliest Comic On The Web!
Actually I hide it to avoid spoilers. The stories rely on an element of mystery and suspense that sorta fizzles if the newest page is right up front, especially if you're not supposed to know who the villain is 'til the end.
Thanks so much for the comments, y'all.

Deadhead Zero: The Liveliest Comic On The Web!
Deadhead Zero is sci-fi crime fiction starring a quippy detective with an unusual trait . If you like mysteries, guns, neo-noir and cyborg women, this is the webcomic for you! Rated pg-13 for violence, innuendo, general creepiness, and occasionally crude language. Deadhead Zero is updated 2 days a w...

I drew Pimpette beating the crap out of my guy. http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a289/5thman/dedhednpimpette.jpg It was gonna be the 6th of a set of ads for my webcomic, but I decided 5 was more than enough. Anyone who wants to is welcome to color it. He's bound in minimalist chains....which turned...

Re: Query: Reading your own comic?
I re-read my stuff pretty frequently. For some reason it takes me forever to determine if something needs to be fixed or not, so constantly re-visiting my work helps. I guess it's like when I write a manuscript and keep going back through it for edits....except, y'know, it's already online while I'm...

Re: What made YOU happy today?
I got a cartoon published in the newspaper on Saturday. I sent it through the Letters to the Editor section of the paper's website and didn't even dream they'd go for it. First time I've been print-published.
It wasn't a paying gig, but it was still cool. And now I know I can probably do it again.
