I sometimes wonder if they had as much fun on Terminator 2 writing Arnold’s character as a hero and slightly funny as we are having with Fred here. Philip might seem terse, but they really do have a rapport. And, in his defence, you can’t expect a deep, meaningful conversation with a robot killing machine designated The Tenderizer. It’s right there on the tin.

And we again see Philip using the 3DVV. Gotta love a generic, do-it-all device as a plot tool. Thanks, Doctor Who!

Webcomics Walkabout: Rock, Paper, Cynic

Posted on September 26, 2012 by Chris

One of the most awesome things about webcomics is all it really takes to make one is the decision to make one. Then you set yourself up with a website and start posting. Oh I know this is also seen as one of the worst things about webcomics, but I’m trying to bring you good stuff here.Read More

Webcomics Walkabout: The Intrepid Girlbot

Posted on August 2, 2012 by Chris
I met Diana Nock at TCAF. Sadly, it was late on the second day and I was pretty much spent out. But she offered to take my last cash for a copy of her first collection of The Intrpeid GirlBot and I’m very glad she did.Read More

Webcomics Walkabout: Project Ballad

Posted on July 12, 2012 by Chris

I’m not sure Project is the right term for this comic. I think Enterprise Ballad might be more fitting because this seems like something big. Really big. So big that in everything so far presented I can’t even begin to get a handle on just what this project is about.Read More

Webcomics Walkabout: Space Kid

Posted on June 15, 2012 by Chris
We’re going back this week. Back in a retro sense, but also a bit of history. John MacLeod’s Space Kid is a throwback. And a self-aware one at that. If you enjoy 50?s science fiction, Astro Boy or rocket ships and ray guns, then you are gonna love Space Kid. The titular hero is as advertised. A sci-fi hero kid. A pre-teen saving the galaxy from pirate , robots and aliens. It’s one of those kid friendly stories that adults love as well.Read More

Webcomics Walkabout: Specimen B28

Posted on June 1, 2012 by Chris
This time we’re going out of this world. While at Wizard World I ran into Stephen Daymond whose work I had noticed before but hadn’t followed up on.Specimen B28 is a little bit 70?s UFO culture, a little bit Tripping the Rift and a bit Douglas Adams, all wrapped up in a package reminiscent of old Nelvana movies.Read More

Webcomics Walkabout: Vengador

Posted on May 17, 2012 by Chris
So an area I haven’t wandered into is webcomics doing what print comics have all sealed up. Superheroes. It’s a tough area, when you have a whole industry that is focused in on that one genre. You are putting yourself out there up against work that is done by very talented professionals who do this for a living. And anyone doing a superhero webcomic  is quite probably doing it with an eye to making the switchover to ACTUALLY drawing their favourite hero. It’s like an audition piece. With that in mind, let’s take a look at Vengador. Read More

Webcomics Walkabout: Boumeries

Posted on May 10, 2012 by Chris
On Sunday my walkabout took me to the Toronto Wizard World show. A bit barren, but I did stumble across a few new finds. My first was one I was aware of before attending, but pleasantly pleased to find and get a chance to chat with. Boum, or Samantha Leriche-Gionet is a 27-ish freelance filmmaker, animator and illustrator who lives and works in Montreal, Canada. She is also very friendly and seems to have really weird dreams.

Webcomics Walkabout: Spare Keys for Strange Doors

Posted on May 3, 2012 by Chris

 

Buffy and or say X-Files might be the best comparison for Spare Keys for Strange Doors. Or maybe Lost Girl if you know it. Toby Hathaway and Marion Sark are professional supernatural problem solvers.Read More

Webcomics Walkabout: Namesake

Posted on March 30, 2012 by Chris
And now it’s time for a trip down the rabbit hole, over the rainbow and through the wardrobe. At least, if you happen to be named Alice, Dorothy or Peter. In that case, you may be a namesake. Read More
