Watchmen is Overhyped (New Comics Thread)

Kate Beaton: Summaries of books, based on their cover illustrations.

That's pretty good stuff.

[Greg Nog]

She did a bunch of hourly comics the other day that are pretty excellent.

...and Kate Beaton continues to entertain:

That's great.

Greg, have you read any of Joe Sacco's Palestine comics?

[Greg Nog]

I have, but a long time ago.  I don't remember being super thrilled by them, but then, I barely remember them at all at this point.  I think I own both Palestine and Safe Area Gorazde, if you wanted to borrow either; I just have to make sure I didn't sell 'em to the Strand at some point.

[elpollodiablo]

I read about a quarter of Palestine the other night, and was not very enthralled either.

New Zealand comics weekend is next weekend, and I just got myself the  task of being there all weekend to entertain and wrangle children, should there be any there. I do so hope they like sitting quietly and drawing.

[Greg Nog]

Bring clay!  They can sculpt stuff!

[G.C.R]

Actually that's a pretty wicked idea. i think we're trying to keep things comics related - i could get them slaving away making figurines of their favourite comic characters.

[diesel_powered]

That is an excellent idea. Also, make sure to reference 24 hour comic day.

[Greg Nog]

The new issue of RASL is out this week!  It continues to be fantastic!

[elpollodiablo]

What's really strange is that Onstad evidently unceremoniously killed the Achewood store, as well. I discovered this when I went to purchase some books for a friend today and couldn't find a single mention of the store anywhere on the site. Weird.

[Little Sixes Little Nines]

yeah, i noticed that a few months ago. that bugs me, man. the fanflow keeps getting updated, but i had to unsubscribe. the way this comic just died is sad.
