You do a webcomic? Tell me about it here. Not more than one or two images, please, or else the thread takes forever to load. Don't forget the bloody link.
Relax. There are only 9000 members of Whitechapel, plus god knows how many drop-ins who aren't registered members. Only around 2500 people per day visit Whitechapel on average. Except when it's busy, or when I run links from warrenellis.com.
And they all want to read webcomics.
NOTE: this is not for people to list their favourite webcomics. We've done that before. Boring.
As always, thanks for putting up this thread, Warren. Not just for the chance to shamelessly self-promote, but because I've found some excellent webcomics via this thread.
So, hello again everyone. My name is Scott Springer and I do a webcomic called Angry Faerie , which I describe as "tinkerbell meets Dragonball (not Dragonball Z mind you). It updates every Monday/Wednesday/Friday, and I just crossed the 100 strips mark a little over a week ago.
The current storyline involves Angry Faerie trying to prove her mother is not the so-called Murder Faerie. This has led her to meet up with her brother, Artus, and her former best friend Brinda. Brinda has, with Artus's help, created a clone of Angry Faerie much to Angry Faerie's chagrin. At first it seems the clone could be the Murder Faerie, but well... that doesn't seem to be the case after all.
Webcomics week is the most splendiferous week of all! Thanks, Warren.
Here's what's on my plate at the moment:
Invisible, Inc. (superpowers/conspiracy) -- A reporter discovers supervillains took over the world a long time ago.
Reaping Profit (dark comedy) -- The world's greatest salesman convinces Death to take a vacation while he handles her duties as Grim Reaper, but literally runs afoul of Fate pursuing the woman he loves.
Al'Rashad is something written by me and illustrated by the stupidly talented Davinder Brar before somebody (probably Warren) realizes how good he is and starts paying him to do what he's currently doing for free. Right now we're doing a page a week; the first "issue" (chapter, section, whatever) is very nearly finished.
I decided to document my life as a journal comic this past summer for 100 days, the comic updates Monday-Friday and when I remember and have the time I talk about the webcomics in my side bar on the weekends.
Some of you might remember the Hero Happy Hour comic book, created by myself and Chris Fason? Now, the gang from the Hideout Bar & Grill are back as an all-new webcomic. Updates are every Tuesday and Thursday, with a bonus "sideshow" comic called Double-Shot & Chaser every Wednesday. We kicked off about six weeks ago, so now is a perfect time to belly-up to the bar and catch up. The current arc features art by Grant Perkins, and the Double-Shot & Chaser strip features Fason. Thanks for the opportunity to share. Check out Hero Happy Hour at herohappyhour.com.
I do a comic called Hope For The Future over at hftf.co.uk. It's about magic, conspiracies, and the encroaching apocalypse, although sometimes, not much actually happens, as on this page:
My comic is called Beardfluff and it’s basically surreal observational comedy. It’s not quite a journal comic but sometimes the main characters are caricatures of my and people I’ve met. And it features facial hair, so it’s all good.
I saw Warren's post about this on Twitter, and figured, what the hell.
Take a look at Code Name: Hunter It's a weekly (updating Mondays) comic book/graphic novel. There's already over 300 pages publicly available (with another year or so in the buffer).
The high concept pitch for my series, Omnitarium, is Charles Dickens' Assault on Precinct 13.
A period horror, it tells of the capture and execution of a mass-murder in the 18th century. Nearly one hundred years later, as a group of guests arrive at the mysterious Pentansley Gaol, something is trying to cross over from the afterlife to our world.
Told in four chapters, the series already has the entire first chapter up, and most of the second one is there. Written by myself, it contains art by J.C. Grande, and lettering by Bernie Lee.
Crash On Planet Infinity!! is done by myself and my internet pal John Abbott. It's a humor webcomic updated Mondays, based around our mutual love of shlocky 50's and 60's spacefare sci-fi films. The gist is that the U.S.S. STARFUCKER crash-landed on Planet Infinity, an uninhabited (maybe) planet unknown to the rest of the galaxy. Four survivors, conveniently color-coded, try their damndest to survive.
We just started a few months ago! Please be gentle.
Also my name is Greg L. Mercer, new to Whitechapel in general, but a big fan of Warren's work. Nice to meet you all.
I do RED LIGHT PROPERTIES all myself; it's about a small real estate office on Miami Beach that specializes in "previously-haunted homes" they exorcise and list for victims of foreclosure. The family-run firm is headed up by Jude Tobin, a schlubby shaman who uses massive amounts of hallucinogens on a daily basis to enter the spirit world to convince the ghosts to leave the premises, and his (recently) ex-wife Cecilia Matos-Tobin.
After dealing with either too many or too few people in the mix working with Tor, I've decided to move the series to its all-new RLP site with new weekly stories coming every Tuesday starting November 16th. The first OGN will join the new stuff (in multiple languages) after New Year.
In the meantime, plug into any one of these feeds to stay in touch while I roll up to the relaunch:
I do a web-comic called Adrastus. It updates Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday and is an ongoing story comic about a girl named Sarah Bryant and a giant robot named Adrastus. The comic's been going since April and we're coming up on 80 pages in the archive.
