I've written an article on web-comics...

For discussions, announcements, non-technical questions and anything else comics-related or otherwise that doesn't fit in any of the other categories.

Sorry for what is essentially a negative review...<P>It is not bad, but it lacks objectivity and scope. Basically, what you're saying is: "Webcomics rule, Keenspot rules, Keenspace has good stuff, Superosity, Melonpool, Kevin and Kell and Sluggy Freelance are examples of online comics." And that's about it. It doesn't really jump off the screen, making me feel I should read webcomics (ok, so I do already). It's too scanty and skimpy to really give a good concept to the reader of what it all means. Basically, it is just words strung together, without much substance. <P>It's acceptable, but I don't think it's particularly good, as it doesn't, for example, give any idea of the scope and width of comic subject matter on Keen*. Also, it needs more to it than just a few lines about how webcomics are good, funny, and other tired, unexciting descriptive words. A subject like this needs much more in an article, or at least to be much more informative than it actually is, to instil in the reader CURIOSITY and a desire to find out what it's all about, instead of just idly scanning the words, and immediately forgetting what it's all about.<P>Sorry, that's essentially a negative response, I'm afraid. It's a GOOD idea, though, but it's not been exactly executed well. It really needs to be fuller, more in-depth, informative, erudite yet not so much that it's inaccessible to the reader. You want people to say "Oh, this is interesting! I want to know more!" instead of just scanning lethargically, and then forgetting.<P>Mab<P>------------------
