It sort of looks like "School of World" (http://schoolofworld.tumblr.com/) is gearing up for an ending, which I'll be sad about.

I hope someone more diligent than me archived it somewhere, I thought I'd saved Towers but apparently I just remembered how to get to the page that had it. I LOVE TOWER >:] oh god no

Pyroclastic posted:In the past few years, I've backed 54 book printings between Kickstarter and IGG, largely webcomic printings with some anthologies and special projects (like To Be or Not To Be) thrown in. Of those, 33 have delivered the book. The other 21 are mostly recent, and still in their release window. Yeah, I'm in a similar position, the only comics kickstarter I've backed that has been a total bust so far (out of dozens) it K.Thor Jensen's.

ConanThe3rd posted:I get that and I get she's stressed/pissed but she's attacking civilians (yes, annoying, pushy, civilians but still, ultimately, powerless civilians) with her powers which absolutely crosses the line. I interpreted it as she was just powering up as a 'hey, back off' display.

ConanThe3rd posted:The problem is that the last chapter has been split between her moping about life to herself and her being passive aggressive to anyone within earshot with no one to fill out the now barren cast list to provide any sort of levity from that. I think it's reasonable for a character to be depressed and upset when three of her friends have just died. Pavlov posted:So, is this like an attempt to make a 'dark and gritty' magic girl anime? Because the more I think about that the more it seems like a dumb idea. Personally my favorite "magical girl" comic going on right now and wow did I never expect to type those words is Phoenix Flair : http://phoenixflaircomic.tumblr.com/post/122318744747/i-want-to-kill-the-person-i-used-to-be-page-1

Pavlov posted:It's really just Abraham religions that tend to kick up a fuss. Elements from practically all other world religions get mixed up into fiction without much of a problem. That might just have to do with western audiences though. Lot of Judeo-Christian stuff going into the melting pot in Japanese games/anime/manga.

Hogge Wild posted:But I can't remember anyone who made some webcomics and then was later hired to make something else because of their webcomic fame. Off the top of my head, I think there's a bunch of people who went from webcomics to the Adventure Time empire (either writing tie-in comics, like Meredith Gran, or working on the show itself like Steve Wolfhard and Jesse Moynihan), the Three Word Phrase guy is working on one of those cartoon shows too, there are all those Ryan North things, the McNinja guy is writing for Marvel, the 'Help Us, Great Warrior' lady is doing those for a traditional publisher now (does that count?), and Jillian Tamaki put out 'This One Summer'

I've found Colleen Frakes' "Skookum": http://www.colleenfrakes.com/post/117314732566/pg-1-a-beginning and it's a pretty good comic that's got one complete chapter up (100-ish pages). And also it's Colleen Frakes, so you know it's going to be good.

Onean posted:I actually just stumbled across this a little bit ago. I didn't like the skimpy outfits for the MC at first, but the character and comic is pretty cute and cool so I got over it fast. Yeah the costuming is regrettable but there's infinitely more heart and charm in a single Cassiopeia Quinn strip than in the entirety of the Dresden Codak run, so I can deal with the cheesecake. One or both of the authors also did Question Duck: http://questionduck.smackjeeves.com

Tollymain posted:really though it's not like theres some weird reason why people go from one fandom to another. i mean, do any of y'all read just one webcomic and plan to disappear from the internet when it ends/you lose interest/whatever? there's only so many people to go around between popular things, overlap is gonna happen It's also not as if people ever gather in a place on the internet to talk about a common interest and in the process talk about and get interested in other things as well.

Tendales posted:The biggest drawback to rss feeds over bookmarks is that if some random comic's feed breaks, I won't notice until years later when I wonder why such and such hasn't updated lately. Newsblur will add a red "!" if the feed is broken, but you have to look in the "list of subscribed feeds" panel.
