I'll just paste the press release I wrote here:

New webcomic collective Intravenous Comics launches today.

IV Comics was originally founded in October 2006 by Shishio, KL Sanchez, Lando Fitzgerald, Phillip Seals, and Nick Wright. The group has been live since February, but now that everything is finalized to everyone's liking, the group is making it official.

Current members and their comics are:

Shishio & -U!: One-liners

Phillip Seals and KL Sanchez: Steve and Mac

Nick Wright: Treading Ground

Henshin: Henshin does not have a comic of his own, but he has worked with Shishio on some guest strips for Treading Ground, (He also did a few on his own.) and one for Yirmumah! He also created the Intravenous Comics mascot.

John Keogh, David Rothlein, & Ross Armstrong: Lucid TV

Keryn Everett: Brink

Kate Lin: Institute of Metaphysics

(Lando has since left the group to pursue other venues.)

The Intravenous Comics website also has a sampler page for our readers' convenience. All the group's members have selected five or six of their best strips/pages to familiarize new readers with their comics.

I like the name. Lots of punnage potential.

Those comic links across the top of the IV website look like an advertising banner, I'm afraid. Not that many people ever get to comics through the collective's homepage but I thought you should know.

And if you don't change it I'll just have to keep, ahem, needling you about it.

I'm waiting for IVStudios to show up.

Yeah, exactly. The name made me think of his comic right away.

Otherwise, good luck!

The Sampler page is a great idea for hooking readers. Looks good! I wish you guys luck!

I too want to hear IVstudios reaction to this. No offense but I suspect he's a match for any of you Shisho for he has his own studios and he's only one person.

So now there's a Transplant Comics and an Intravenous Comics?

What's next? Malpractice Comics? Unnecessary Surgery Comics? Complications from Errant Junior Mint Comics?

Nevertheless, congrats on the launch. I'm all for comics collectives. Good luck.

I'm staking my claim on Enema Comics right now!

And that is like the funniest Seinfeld episode.

at the commentary above.

The site looks GREAT! so professional. Good Wishes to you all!

Well I saw IV Studios's site today for the first time. I was aware of his existence before that, but that was after we had already picked the name, bought the domain, made the site, etcetera. So all I can say is I hope he doesn't get too pissed.

Joel, what would you suggest instead of the banner we currently have?

*Kicks Vorticus in the nuts.*

And spell my name right next time.

Not sure. You can either move them from the top - which is unfortunately kinda where they need to be - or change their shape - but unfortunately the rest of the page is 90 degree angles too. Easiest way is probably to put a gap between each square and maybe a text label beneath them.

Catheter Comics.

...pretty sure the IV in IV Studios stands for "4," and has nothing to do with intravenous comics absorption. (Though I must admit I didn't know he existed until after coming up with the name.)

Still, I see no reason for him to be "pissed." That's like saying we can't refer to ComicGenesis as CG because that also stands for Computer Graphics.

Awesome.

I could, but then you and me would be the only ones who knew what it meant.
