Metapost: Short Hiatus
25 03 2008The Webcomic Overlook will be on a short hiatus. No reviews for two weeks! This is mainly because I’ll be out of town this weekend. And by out of town, I mean flying from one coast to the other.
Also, I had initially planned to review Exiern, but Ted David of the “Your Comic is Bad and You Should Feel Bad” elders beat me to the punch. Normally, this wouldn’t bother me, but he basically said everything that I was going to say. Plus, he made the astute observation that the comic seems to be made only to make the creator money (including a pay section for illustrations that are probably not worth it). That bums me out. I may review Exiern some time down the road, but David was pretty much on the money.
(A very telling sign: no one in the comments section actually bothered to defend this comic. This is a rarity on the “Your Webcomic is Bad…” site. I mean, there were defenders there for Shredded Moose. Shredded Moose!)
When I get back, I’ll get a whole slew of new reviews out. I plan on reviewing The Phoenix Requiem for ComixTalk. On this site, I’m hoping to tackle a few fantasy-themed comics.
Anyway, to keep you busy, here’s the top 10 most read reviews on this site (not counting the stats for when I was posting on Rooktopia):
: MST3K: The Movie is back ... and on DVD! If you haven't seen it yet, you must check it out. If you've seen it 15 times ... well, that Rando joke never gets old.
: One of the most highly acclaimed webcomics in print form! Great art and dark yet surprisingly subtle humor.
: Scott McCloud's influential guide on what makes comics tick!
: Tom Siddell's amazing comic of magic, whimsy, and steampunk robots.
As a connaiseur of webcomics, I would place Scott Ramssomair’s VGCATS much higher!
