Web Comic Spotlight: Cat Versus Human

By | Aug 12, 2010 | Columns

I’ve been pretty open and notorious about my natural shying away from web comics. I like strips I can just randomly jump into and find humor in without a big deal of background knowledge. Long scale stories are things I like reading in print, although there are a few exceptions to the role. This is […]

Web Comic Spotlight: SMASH!

By | Feb 8, 2010 | Columns

Webcomics aren’t exactly my thing. I don’t know, but in general they’ve never really clicked for me.

By | Dec 14, 2009 | Columns

Those crazy cats over at 4chan, who have blessed the internet with such things as LOL Cats, Motivators, and pretty much every popular internet meme ever, have spawned a new meme out of the /co/ section: Murder Burger. Murder Burger is an “animated” series in which various Lantern characters, such as Atrocitus, Larfleeze, and Sinestro, […]

Welcome to Emitown

By | Oct 10, 2009 | Columns

As a fan of comics, you’re quick to realize how new favorites come in the most surprising of places. Whether it’s bizarre quarterly books like Brahm Revel’s black and white ape Vietnam soldier epic Guerrillas, superimposed Final Fantasy sprite comedic powerhouse 8-bit Theater, or graphic novels you read about on blogs like Nick Abadzis’ Laika, […]
