Comic Books And The Internet, Continued

Posted by Hemos on from the groth-and-sim dept.

A number of readers have written in about the Salon story talking with Gary Groth's recation to Scott McCloud's pieces on the intersection of the comic and the Internet. Groth's feelings are much different then McCloud. I love the comic book format (am currently reading Cerebus, The Dreaming and Bone amongst others) and think is an interesting issue - 'specially considered within the greater question of "art" and digital media.

  1. Sluggy Freecrap by Grendel+Drago · · Score: 2, Flamebait

    Perhaps Sluggy is being ignored because it sucks right now.

    No, seriously. The whole `Stormbreaker Saga' was incredibly good. I read three years of the strip in two afternoons. But lately, Pete Abrams has taken to wholesale quoting of pop culture with a small dash of funny on the top.

    For Sluggy's sake, Pete, LOBO hasn't been cool for almost ten fscking years!

    Plus, Pete's not on Keenspot. Not they didn't mention BBoCS or SexyLosers (formerly THL) either.

    I think it's all part of the Anti-McCloud-Keenspot-industrial complex. Yeah.
