| Post subject: | Web Comics |
Anybody like to read webcomics here? Doing a bit of research for a potential project... curious what clean webcomics are out there. I enjoyed reading Darths and Droids (it's hilarious for Star Wars fans), but the language bugged me so I can't recommend. Besides that, I have read one steampunk webcomic, but that is a definite no-recommend due to language and magic and some blood (though artistically rendered). Oh, and I've read XKCD a bit, but that's not a long-running plot. Would people be interested in a good clean fantasy/sci-fi/steampunk webcomic? Does anyone know anything about running one? |

I like webcomics, and I'd definitely read yours! Of course, I'm your sister, so I don't count... |

I love webcomics, but I haven't found any that are above reproach. |

Neither have I. Darths & Droids is probably the cleanest one I've found. A sci-fi one, yes. Steampunk is also yes. Fantasy is a maybe. I'm actually working on a stick figure one I'm thinking about posting on a blog. |

Wow, things can change a lot in three months. <smile> Still working on ideas for webmangas; learning how to draw; teaming up with various manga-ka's for one-shots; having tons of fun, and reading way too much manga instead of doing more productive stuff. <grin> Here's what I've found for good recommends so far: Advocate Voice -- a clean Christian fantasy webmanga but it's on hiatus until January; at which point the manga-ka is going to start over and post new pages for everything. My personal favorite from everything that I've found so far. www.advocate.christianmanga.com Game Plan -- a clean Christian shoujo webmanga; completed. A little mushy but rather cute. www.gameplanmanga.com Skipping Tomorrows -- a pretty much clean (not specifically Christian but by a Christian manga-ka AFAIK) webmanga which doesn't seem to follow a genre. A bit of time-travel, quite a bit of romance; a very sweet story. It's just too bad that it has not been updated in 6 months. http://www.hoodiegypsy.com/skippingtomorrows/ I'm not remembering any others off the top of my head that are clean, well-drawn, and interesting; and not abandoned, of course. (many webmangas get abandoned after their manga-kas go off to college...) |

Oh yeah.... over at theproject.us they have a number of completed one-shots and a bunch of Christian comics/mangas; but the long-running ones have not been updated in 2 years. They're also mostly for the upper age range; they have nice handy ratings on them for age level. |

I have to recommend Advocate Voice; it's really good. |

Look at this, Willow -- there's some more art posted here, a sample of her newer art. http://www.christianmanga.com/smf/index ... #msg173175 |

Anyone know any non-manga ones? Manga just rubs me the wrong way. |

| Post subject: | Re: Web Comics |
Not really, Varon. I honestly don't care much for the non-manga kind, lol. If I think of any, though, I'll post them. You could check the Christian Comic Arts Society's site. (google it) I don't think they have a listing, but if you sign up on their site you can snoop on profiles & in forum posts... |

I had found a good non-manga one, but the language and gore was really bad. But hey, it was a war one. I don't read it now. Oh, there hasn't been any language on Darths and Droids for a while now. |

I like both manga and comics. I think it would be interesting if someone wrote a Christian manga or comic that could be read on a website or received by e-mail in monthly (or if necessary, irregular) installments. The writer/artist could make money by having ads at the beginning of each installment. Similarly, a Christian daily comic series would also be interesting. |

I don't think webcomics are overly commercially viable. Ads don't sell for enough unless you're already well-established. Not really a dayjob thing. But I'm continuing to research and see what is commercially viable and what is not... |
