Doctor_Fruitbat posted:When I make a comic I'm going to make all the characters human, then as soon as you're all invested I'm reuploading all the pages to retroactively make them dogs with big snouts. I actually saw that happen to a comic once. It started out with a main character who was otherwise a normal human, it posted about 10 pages, fell into development hell for about a year, and then when it started updating again the character had cat ears and a tail for literally no reason. It has since fallen back into development hell and I have lost all reason to care about it ever coming back.

If you're befuddled by any of this, watch Dan Olson's definitive explanation/take down on the whole "weird algorithmic YouTube kids videos" racket, which has apparently come to be known as #Elsagate, because gently caress the internet forever, I want it to die. Dude does a pretty solid job of explaining what it is and why it's a problem for literally everyone involved. Also just watch Dan Olson's stuff in general because he's absolutely fantastic.

The most  ones are the comics that publish on Tumblr and are locked down behind Tumblr’s dumbfuck trigger-shield safe mode feature, despite have no objectionable or NSFW content at all, effectively barring access from potential readers. And the only other option is to read it on DeviantArt because they don’t have a proper host for it.

A Wizard of Goatse posted:Paranatural updates so often and every update has so much going on that it can be a day or two late, regularity is more of a concern if you're posting like once or twice a week and there's enough space for people to forget about you if you miss one Again, that’s the thing that boggles my mind and is starting to burn me out on Paranatural. So much happens on each page... yet nothing really seems to happen in the comic. I think like the last year of Paranatural in updates has covered the span of about ten minutes in real time. In other news: Monster Pulse ends its most harrowing chapter yet on a hard-earned happy note. The next chapter also marks the start of the final arc of the comic, which Magnolia estimates will take about a year to a year and a half to wrap up.

PicklePants posted:I'm happy to see Harpy Gee apparently got a short made by Nickelodeon. It's racked up almost 60,000 views in two days and the comments for the video are universally people clamoring for a proper series to get greenlit, and that was also what helped Adventure Time receive a proper pick up from Cartoon Network after its trial baloon shot was published on YouTube too. So here's hoping that this is just the start of things for her.

Tenebrais posted:We already knew she was the one releasing the ghosts, right? We just now know she didn't really have justification. Yeah that's been known for years. Her debut in the comic is her and Red releasing the ghost that becomes Greenie. Like it's all but explictly confirmed that she's the reason that at the very least Bina, Julie, West, and Nate all got ghost'd. But yeah, a large part of this plot came about from Nancy and her mom just being unable to properly communicate and deal with an unprecedentedly traumatic event. As someone who once woke up from a medically induced coma in a compromised state from a traumatic illness surrounded by doctors doing all sorts of weird poo poo to me without telling me what was going on, I understand how irrationally furious Nancy was a literally everyone around her because I was right there too at one point, and I'm a grown rear end man.

It's kind of died and come back a couple of time now so I've kind of given up on waiting on it, which is sad because I really liked it. In related news, it looks like The Zombie Hunters has also died again after a brief flash of activity late last year and early this year.

Nybble posted:So the "Found" is gone and "Loss" is back and I'm very baffled by the whole thing, but also, Buckley WOULD find a way to make that comic worse, huh I admit I laughed at it very briefly when I first saw it because I have a hosed up sense of humour and anything Loss-related will earn a sensible chuckle out of me. But you got to admit, it is incredibly in keeping for Tim Buckley to find a way to get in on the joke by loving up in a way that just leaves people confused and baffled. Like, normally the only way I thought you could cock up a Loss joke is if you got the potion of the lines wrong, but nope. Tollymain posted:monster pulse continues to be exceedingly good This is also very true.

Joe Slowboat posted:I'll be brutally honest but I've always been sort of confused that he has a writing podcast. It’s Brandon Sanderson and Dan Wells’ writing podcast. Howard often feels like he’s there because he’s their friend (or more specifically, he’s a fellow Mormon writer living in Utah with them) more than anything, the fact that he writes a comic is often secondary. You’re right though, he often gives poor or baffling advice compared to the other hosts. Luckily in the last couple of years they’ve brought on a more diverse crew of panelist to balance him out a little more.

Well, for starters, they're marketing a comic and video game about their lovely Deadpool rip off by... literally ripping off the Deadpool logo: https://twitter.com/TyrantComics/status/1004583705137106944 https://twitter.com/TyrantComics/status/744069819981504512 Also, why hello there Marvel Studios vanity logo rip off https://twitter.com/TyrantComics/status/995934603394285569 Pyroclastic posted:I didn't read the twitter before, so I just read back a year and a half, and I'm...confused. He's getting into beefs with gamergaters (who are apparently expanding to comicsgate or something), and gets called SJW and soyboy. Is Gunfree supposed to be a parody of the right-wing view of anti-gun people? I think they're right wing as all gently caress. From my reading, they seem to think that anti-gamergaters are the real hate group. But then again, they're so stupid and self-important I think it's just a matter of them vehemently hating everything because it's not them. Take, for example, this amazing tweet: https://twitter.com/TyrantComics/status/1005304452851666944 Indeed, which comic would you rather read? The one with an actual art style and measure of editorial quality control and an actual female writer, or the one starring a moeblob pantyshot written and drawn by three men? nine-gear crow fucked around with this message at 06:19 on Jun 19, 2018 |

Dawgstar posted:Apparently so. I just wonder what drew him to it. Melting lizardmen? I started reading it like 10 years ago, maybe, and I vaguely enjoyed it up until the dude with the wooden arm (the first real villain) showed up and it dropped all pretense and just became outright torture porn. I stopped reading it cold turkey after that because it was just so physically and emotionally repulsive. It's an ugly comic on every level. The art style is ugly. The prose and plot is ugly. And the soul of it is ugly too. I can't believe it still has any fans at all, let alone celebrity ones.

TwoPair posted:I mean once you get past minor things like the art and the writing and the plot, the basic concept of "What's life like for the NPCs in an RPG?" is a good basis for a good story to be told by somebody that's not Thunt. Jim C. Hines already did that. The Goblin Quest trilogy: Goblin Quest, Goblin Hero, and Goblin War. I think someone even plugged it in an earlier incarnation of this thread as a "Here, read a good take on this concept by an actually talented author" when someone started talking about Goblins.

avshalemon posted:if you could snap your fingers and your perfect dream webcomic would pop into existence (with a reliable update schedule, non-jerk creator, all those good things). what would it be? Kinda sounds like you're describing Bad Bad Things. Maybe not, but who knows. My "Impossible Webcomic Dream" would have been to actually get that final promised story arc of 70-Seas that it ended on a teaser for after Psych just gave up and moved on Latchkey Kingdom. Because that would have been the perfect resolution to the story and everyone's character arcs... and it just ended on the doorstep of any actual payoff and catharsis. Then again, 70-Seas always had trouble sticking the landing with its individual chapter endings, so it was actually kind of appropriate that it completely whiffed it's final bow too. I also would have loved to have seen whatever the hell The Awakened's endgame was going to be before the author went and uprooted it and started again like three times over the course of a decade. Because it was going places before that latest reset. She says she wants to finish the story in some capacity, so who knows, I might actually see it one day, but for now it'll always be the one that got away to me, because it was one of the first webcomics I found via SA in one of the older versions of this hosed up thread.

avshalemon posted:i'm pumped for it tbh, the way the comic started out almost promising and then just kept getting exponentially stupider and stupider with every single update has been magical and the fact that it's ending so abruptly (without just getting dropped) makes me hope for a fiasco like the end of ctrl alt delete 1.0 It kinda makes me wonder what the actual artist of SFP thinks of the whole thing, because I've read other stuff that was either written by her herself or not at all tied to the writer of SFP and found it to actually be pretty solid, yet that comic seems universally reviled around these parts.

Archenteron posted:I hope Thistil Mistil Kistil's author is doing ok, they went on hiatus due to unemployment sometime last year Last I heard, she's focusing on a Patreon-exclusive side comic set in the same universe involving Loki, and is also heavily rewriting the script for the future chapters of TMK for better historical accuracy and racial sensitivity involving Arne. It seems like she's stabled out in life however and doing well enough for now. But yeah, I hope TMK comes back eventually too but at this point there's no ETA on it.

Pyroclastic posted:I was going through a bunch of entries, and there'd be good criticism...then a big ol' rant on how SJW the comic or creator was and it was a major problem with the webcomic. There's a review for a GamerGate comic, that starts off with a quick recap of gamergate from a GGer point-of-view (that the woman was a bad person and the jilted ex revealed systemic problems in game journalism!), then immediately claims the reviewer isn't a GGer. Couldn't even get past that part, and it was bad enough because of big thumbnails of terribly ugly caricatures of Anita Sarkeesian were right next to it. Is that the two panel strip staring Vivian James and Not-Vivian James drawn by the dude who’s a literal washed up fetish porn artist? Because I came across a strip of it out in the wild the other day and was like “How the gently caress is this dude STILL coasting along with this garbage? Gamergate was four years, are are you THAT mad at video game feminism?” It’s also hilariously un-selfaware, to an almost adorable degree. The strip in question I saw was literally just “Wow, those crazy SJWs are still blaming things on Gamergate four years later... says man writing and drawing a comic explicitly about Gamergate in 2018.”

mycot posted:You're gonna have to be more specific than that. Hah. Yeah, that does seem to be a trend line, doesn’t it? Again, I love the un-selfaware irony of 4chan creating a fake woman out of #NotYourShield to specifically be their shield, and then immediately turned her into a sex doll subject to their whims because they’re a roiling blob of sweaty sexually frustrated male virgins who don’t actually like women. As for the comic itself, I think the dude I’m talking about renamed it a few years ago to like Trigger Happy or something to try and distance it from being explicitly about Gamergate... while still being 90% about Gamergate-related bullshit because he’s not that smart or creative.
