FreeLit, Comics Edition

Okay, so I pointed out some of my favorite places to get my read on for free.  I failed to point out places where you can read comics for free online.  I’d be here all day if I listed every webcomic I ever heard of, so I’ll just point out some of my favorites.
FreakAngels – [...]

Artists I Know

Time to give kudos to some folks I know of the artistic persuasion.  Check ‘em out.
April – Part of the Philly Comix Jam.  She was also awesome enough to draw a cool pic of Nightcrawler for my amusement.  Even if it wasn’t for my amusement, I’m concieted enough to believe it was, so there.  I [...]

Mission: Somewhat Difficult

Okay, okay, so the mission wasn’t exactly "impossible," but it was still kind of a pain.  It seems that I’m down to the last chapter in book 3 of The Dresden Files, Grave Peril.  Since I work late tonight, this was probably the only day of the week where I could stop by the local [...]

Terri Windling & The Endicott Studio

I just discovered these paintings by Terri Windling through The Endicott Studio.  In fact, I kinda just discovered The Endicott Studio.  The first one is called "Coyote Woman," and the second one is called "Desert Fox Fairy."  Terri Windling even has a section in the Endicott Studios Reading Room on Tricksters!

Comic Book Chicks

I’m in the middle of updating one of my side lists, called "Comic Book Chicks."  It’s a list of links for different women in the comic book industry whose work I enjoy.  Some are writers, most are artists (pencillers, inkers, colorists, letterers, or all of the above.)  The update was inspired by my discovery this [...]

Becky Cloonan

Beautiful art by Becky Cloonan on Warren Ellis’ website.  You guys know Becky Cloonan, right?  She does the art for American Virgin, which is a really good read.  Going into it, I was afraid that it would be an overly preachy whinefest about the state of religion today.  I was so wrong.  It’s smart, funny, [...]

Dream Gig

I was having this discussion with my sweetheart yesterday about dream jobs.  When I was young, I wanted to be a WORLD FAMOUS BOOK AUTHOR [read that with as many blinking lights and fireworks as possible].  Now?  I’m not sure I have the talent or discipline for such endeavors.  I’d be happy if I could [...]

Hollow Fundraiser

I admit, I’m a fangirl for a comic that hasn’t even come out yet.  I did a little snippet on these guys awhile back, but now it seems that a comic I’ve already fallen in love with may be in danger!  Help the crew of Hollow!  If you help, you’ll get some beeee-yoo-tee-ful art as [...]
