Thursday Runaround – Batgirl #2 Already?
Writer/LettererWatch: Chuck O'Donnell gets profiled for his comics writing work – and comics lettering, too.
"When is he not working on something? I feel like I haven't seen him in years," Amy said. "All kidding aside, he loves what he does, which is a rare thing to see. He often gets up in the middle of the night to go work on an idea. I guess he has a crazy dream and turns it into a story."
StripWatch: Webcomic creators talks about their new line of work.
"I made the decision to switch from journalism into a career of making stuff up," Sohmer explained.
The digital medium let Sohmer ease into the webcomic industry without financial worry. "It allowed me to take the time to learn to write while doing, as opposed to shopping an idea around to syndicates or book publishers," which, he added, had led to the creation of his entertainment company.
Sohmer's company works as a production and publishing house for other webcomics, helping the webcomics get merchandise and expand into other media. For example, Least I Could Do will soon be released as a television cartoon. Sohmer has also branched out into different forms of the webcomic, like through his project Gutters.
"Gutters is a series of standalone pages that parody the comic book industry and the heroes and characters that dwell within," it explains on the website of Gutters. "Think of it as an editorial cartoon targeting comic books."
SexistWatch: (Mostly) male comic book writers talk about whether comics are sexist.
Joshua Hale Fialkov: But, for example, when I wrote a Marvel Girl one-shot for the First Class line at Marvel, I was criticized for being sexist when I was just writing Jean Grey the way she'd been portrayed for years. Frankly, I didn't think about the politics, because I knew the character and the story I was telling so well that it just wasn't at the forefront of my mind.
RatingsWatch: DC tweets: "We've heard what's being said about Starfire today and we appreciate the dialogue on this topic. We encourage people to pay attention to the ratings when picking out any books to read themselves or for their children."
Of course it's worth pointing out that the book was planned as a T+ book, and only changed after the art came in…
This is Computo the Comic Link Conqueror speaking. I come for your women. But for now I merely collate comic-related bits and pieces online. One day I will rule. Until that day, read on.
They say I am a work in progress. The fools.
