Weekly Comic Reviews for Jan 30th, 2008 -- spoiler and REVIEW free!

Yep, this week's reviews will not only be spoiler free but also review free. What do I mean by that? Well, I actually had no books come out for me this week. Kinda sad really. But I do have some reading material so don't feel bad for me. I have the latest Wizard Magazine as well as my Strangers in Paradise pocket books and Ex Machina TPBs. Not to mention a few webcomics.

Which brings me to the point of this posting. Since I have no printed comics to review I figured I might as well take this opportunity to list off a few webcomics I check out. No lengthy reviews or anything, just a quick list in case you're looking for something to read. Unfortunately I pretty much stick to two locations for webcomics at the moment so you'll notice they're all either DrunkDuck or Zuda comics. So here goes (in alphabetical order):

Araknid Kid -- Originally appearing on Zuda Comics, the story of the "mysterious stranger" who talks in pictures continues on SugarySerials: http://araknidkid.sugaryserials.com/

Basketcase -- A fun daily comic though it's not always politically correct or "opinion free". http://www.drunkduck.com/basketcase/

Battlefield Babysitter -- Another comic originally appearing on Zuda, the adventures of the superhero babysitter continue (albeit slowly) at http://battlefieldbabysitter.blogspot.com/

Bayou -- The first winner (without going through a competition) on Zuda and a very engaging story. http://www.zudacomics.com/bayou

Blip -- An entertaining story about K and the forces that suround her.
http://www.drunkduck.com/Blip/

High Moon -- Another Zuda winner dealing with Werewolves in the Old West. Interesting premise and beautifully drawn. http://www.zudacomics.com/high_moon

Locoma -- Living toys battle Mr Advertising. Fun stuff and pretty (various mediums are explored for the art). http://www.drunkduck.com/Locoma/

Nuclear Neal -- Just caught this one today when I saw it featured on the DrunkDuck main page. Seems like an interesting idea and distinct art. http://www.drunkduck.com/NUCLEAR_NEAL/

ZomBen -- Ben gets the powers of a Zombie and decides to become a superhero. How can an idea like that miss? And it's got cool art. http://www.drunkduck.com/ZomBen/

So yeah, just because I didn't have any comics to pick up this week I still have plenty of reading material. Plus, having a bit more extra time could mean more time for me to write/draw... Or just goof off. :)
