It has been awhile since I posted about a web comic but North World by Lars Brown has made my must be read regularly list recently and I thought I would point it out. North World has a very simple premise but one I haven’t seen done in web comics before, our modern world is [...]
A good article about a reenactment of the charge of the Australian Light Horse Regiment in World War One. Often called the last cavalry charge, it wasn’t, but it was still a heck of feat in an age of warfare dominated by quick firing rifles and machine guns. Good movie too.
Today’s Buttersafe is brilliant and [...]
I support this canoodling idea and I don’t give a canoodle who objects.
I wanted to point out two great web comics I have been enjoying lately. The first is XKCD, which I think I have pointed out before. It is popular on Reddit and other trendy sites but I have to say they are consistantly funny. Today’s comic is an echo of something I feel often for [...]
Just a reminder that next Saturday, May 5th 2007 is Free Comic Book Day! Remember that Green Alien Head Comics is the official comic shop of the Gleeful Gecko Blog but any good comic shop you can get to should have a selection of totally free comics you try. Honestly, you can’t do better than [...]
This is your reminder post that Free Comic Book Day is coming up May 5th. This is your chance to try a bunch of different comics from a ton of different companies. These are not just superhero comics, they cover the whole spectrum of what is being published today. Now for the plug, I just [...]
Set To Sea is a another cool web comic I have been really enjoying. It is about a poet who is shanghaied onto a sailing ship bound for Hong Kong. The artist puts up a single panel every week or so but each panel is brilliant. Give it a read.
I came across this fantastic comic about the airline safety briefing last week on someone’s blog and had to laugh when I watched the Stewardess give the demo on my flight over to the UK last night. If you haven’t seen the cartoon take a look, it is brilliant.
Ok, I am a comic fan and I was amazed by the whole Captain America died hubub. I think Mike Sterling got it right in his somewhat sarcastic take on the news. That said, I have been unimpressed with Marvel comics direction this year and other than the Marvel Adventures line kids line, which is [...]
Went and saw 300 tonight. I enjoyed it, but it left me feeling I had just watched the best propaganda movie for an evil nation ever produced. This movie would have made any Nazi film maker feel proud. I had the graphic novel years ago and the look of the movie is a brilliant take [...]
