Do you recognize the image above? Not just for it’s obvious (and awesome) reference to Siege #2, of course. The above image was sent around the internet like mad, and it was of course noticed by yours truly. And if you like this one image alone, then you’ll love Let’s Be Friends Again.
When it comes to web comics, I think there are two very obvious splits: there is David, and then there is me. David prefers web comics that tell an overall and long story, just like a print comic. I prefer my online comics in strip forms, as if I were reading the “funnies” section of a news paper. Let’s Be Friends Again is a perfect example of that type of online comic.
Created by Curt Franklin and Chris Haley, LBFA is a comic that more often than not features modern and hilarious references to the on-going world of comic books. Whether it be a slight against Mark Millar and Greg Land, or even the almighty Geoff Johns, LBFA is not going to pull the punches as they see fit. They’re also clearly never afraid to be downright hilarious. It’s similar to (previously featured) Comic Critics in that they seem to want to rage against things more often than just directly praise what they love, although they don’t adore Grant Morrison nearly as much as I do. I’m always looking for comics like Let’s Be Friends Again because it seems in this day and age, finding a comic that will update regularly to poke fun at my world of comic books just doesn’t exist. Considering CC doesn’t update regularly, it’s a good thing that LBFA exists then!
As far as I can tell, it regularly updates on Tuesdays and Saturdays, and it also regularly makes me laugh (bazinga). If you’re looking for a good webstrip comedy focused on all the comics you love, I’d recommend checking them out. You’ll be better for it by the end of the day.
