The Wonderful World of Webcomics

Webcomic Finds

A blog right here on Blogger, the author is a writer for Comixpedia, which is kind of like a Wikipedia for online comics. The blog itself is where the author recommends and reviews comics and gives general information about them. This is pretty much exactly what I'm looking to do, but I don't want to wander around the topic as much as she does. A few of the entries seem a little petulant and wordy.

WebSnark

One of the most prolific webcomic bloggers on the web, Eric Burns has become a kind of head journalist/critic of the webcomic "stars." He is about as involved as someone can become in the webcomics field without being able to draw. He attends the same conventions they do, he's met a vast majority of the webcomic creators out there, and even got some of the most popular artists on the web to draw his marriage proposal to his girlfriend. His blog covers a lot of different aspects of the webcomics world, from reviews of comics to personal issues with the artists. He is kind of like the slightly more respectable tabloid writer of the net-world. Some of his entries branch off into other geeky things, like video games and such, but they still manage to tie into the Internet community theme.

"Shortpacked" Comic Blog

Something a little different. This is a blog done by a webcomic artist that draws multiple strips. He uses the blog as a place where his fans can follow what is going on in all of them without having to jump around to all of the different sites. It's also where he posts about the state of the comic and a little of his personal life. He advertises products related to the comic that he is selling, and special offerings for his loyal readers. He also references other comics and gives them recognition.

This is a database of well, online comics. Something tells me that webcomic fans don't like "online comics", but I'll let you be the judge of this website.
It's really tough to critique your blog. If I had to choose something, I would say that it seems like the videos at the bottom of your page don't pertain to the webcomic theme. That's it, otherwise this blog is awesome.
Good job on the links especially.
