Web Comic Wednesday

Well it’s Wednesday again and that means it’s time for Wednesday web comics. I don’t know what it’s like where you are but man o man it’s a freakin scorcher here. I mean it. Ok, pimp time. First thing I like to do every Wednesday is let you know that you can check out the latest page from Celtic Shaman over at Celticshaman.ca so yeah, check it out. Next up I want to direct your attention to the mega awesome “Forces of Geek” where I join the round table to discuss the season finale of Lost (I really liked it by the way) that was a lot of fun and I hope that if you were a fan of the show you take a look. But enough of me, let’s get tot he comics!

http://www.virtualshackles.com/ – The first time I clicked on this I was laughing, so that’s always a plus. They describe the series as an exploration of video games and the world of video game development… I just think its fun.

http://www.louderbombs.com/ – A funny little comic done by a couple of brothers who see the world slightly twisted… that must be what I like about it.

That’s it for now… wherever you are stay cool… Namaste brothas.

Wednesday Web Comics

Hey guys, its Wednesday so that means its new comic book day. Hope you’re all going to get something cool today (Siege finally ends today, I’m looking forward to that.) Sorry for the lack of Friday links last week, but the wife and  managed to get away for the weekend and well that and mothers day really put a stop to my normal Friday activities… oh and if you’re wondering we went to the Fallsview Casino and had a wonderful time (lost no money, so that’s always a plus.) Anyways it’s time for the web comics and today is a pretty special edition because today is “Shameless Self Promotion Web Comic Wednesday.” Yes that’s right…. there’s only one comic today and it’s ours…

Celtic Shaman – This is it. Today is the launch of the all new exclusive Celtic Shaman number 1.  It all starts off with an image by guest cover artist Scott Nichols and then BAM on with the show… I think you’re gonna like what’s coming up, action, romance, political intrigue, alien conspiracys, historical biographies, drag racing…. ok, well maybe not all of those things, but Daniel’s art is kick ass… Take a look and let us know what you think ether on our fan page or in the message boards.

That’s it for today. I hope you have a great week, and we’ll see you on Friday.

(no we didn’t make Jason sit on the outside…)

Hey guys, I hope you all had a great Free Comic Book Day on Saturday, we did. Just a little reminder that it’s Wednesday, that means another page of Shaman is up… in fact it’s the final page of the Ripper story, I hope you all enjoyed it… check it out at: www.celticshaman.ca

As for FCBD, well it started off well as it was nice a warm but soon the weather turned on us and the rain started to come down… Luckily we were prepared for such an emergency (well Daniel had prepared for such an emergency) and the day was saved by a big beige tent.

I’m not sure what books were popular in your neck of the woods, but I was told that the Sonic book did very well… It seemed strange to me, but I guess it could explain why he was one of the most requested characters for sketches.

And Speaking of sketches, thanks go to Daniel, Jason and Adam, they all worked very hard and pretty much non stop from 9-5 (what a way to make a living) they really did us proud and I think everyone was happy with the wonderful art they produced.

One of my favourite moments from the day was when we got to present Todd, the owner of Image Collections, with a poster that Daniel drew to commemorate the store’s 20th anniversary. Throughout the day we had as many visitors sign the poster as we could. Todd has done so much for us over the past couple of years so it was nice to be able to do something for him and I think he was genuinely surprised.

Otherwise it was just great to be out, meeting new people and reconnecting with some old friends. How can you not love Free Comic Book Day? Thanks again to everyone at Image for having us, it was a blast. Check out our photos from the event by visiting our Facebook page located right here. Now on to the web comics…

SLAM– A webcomic that takes place in a world where professional wrestling matches are real… wait, you mean that professional wrestling matches in our world are fake??? Damn you for ruining my innocence interwebs!!! But anyways… if you like wrestling and you like comics then you should check this out. You should check this out even if you don’t like wrestling cause it’s fun and the art is great. What more could you want?

Orion the Hunter – Set 230 years in the future, Orion is one of the coolest webcomics out there… Seriously… It’s a wicked space western about a half-breed alien lawman who returns to his home planet after it’s been involved in a transplanetary war. If you aren’t hooked after hearing just that, well then it’s like I don’t even know you anymore….

Well that’s it for this week. Make sure you check back next Wednesday… That is the start of the all new full-length exclusive Celtic Shaman #1… We are pretty exited for it and I hope you will be too. As always if you want to get in touch, just drop me a line. Have a great day and we’ll see you on Friday for the links…

Wednesday Web Comics

Hey guys, hope you’ve have a great new comic book day and I hope you’ll all be going to your local comic shop this Saturday for Free Comic Book Day! We are looking forward to it. Small week for me in terms of books that I picked up, but they should all be pretty good. Invincible (my favorite superhero book) Deadpool (always a good read) and Walking Dead (my favorite comic period.) Anyways, there is a new Shaman page up today, click here to check it out.

Here are your web comics for this week:

Hero By Night: I just love this book. I actually first read it in print format only to find out that it came from the web. It really is fantastic, great concept, great art. If you haven’t read it before check it out.

Furious Comics – Phil McClorey was another neighbor of ours at the last convention. He’s a talented writer who’s built up an impressive amount of great stories for you to read on his site… plus he’s a pretty cool dude.

Ok that’s it, if you want me to check out your web comic drop me a line. Take it easy and we’ll see you on Friday (when we’ll announce the winner of our “Name the Mascot” contest)

Happy new comic book day everyone! There’s a new page of Celtic Shaman up now and you can read it right here. Now here are your web comics for Wednesday:

Peeling Onions: We had the pleasure sitting next to Lezley at the Wizard World Toronto show in March and on top of being an awesome person she is an awesome talent. When I first checked out her comic I was surprised… not by how good it was, I could see from across the table that it looked great, no I was surprised at how personal it was… At how much Lezley was willing to share with her readers. It literally left me speechless for a moment (not an easy task… ask my wife) I hope you all check it out.

Knight Syndrome (sorta NSFW): Jesus Morales submitted his online comic for Web Comic Wednesdays and I’m glad that he did. The art style reminds me a lot of something you’d see in those uber-cool Heavy Metal books. Set in 6 seasons the story is trippy, fun and a little bit gory. Fans of horror comics should definitely check this out, I think you’ll like it.

Thanks guys, and again if you want me to check out your web comic or you know of a web comic you think I’d like let me know in the message boards.

Another week, another page of Shaman. Check it out here. I hope your enjoying the story so far. We’ve got some cool stuff coming up (well at least I think it’s cool but I may be a bit biased.) Anyways here are this weeks comics.

Devilbear: How can you not love a comic about the ruler of a special hell set aside for naughty teddy Bears? (a ruler whose name is Bearalzebub no less) This is one of those comics that as soon as I saw it, I knew I was gonna love it. The comic is as cute as it is disturbing… Plus it’s funny as hell… well teddy bear hell anyways.

Questionable content: I’ve only recently discovered this comic and already it’s diggin it. The story centers on Marten, a 20-something music nerd, his PC named Pintsize, and a mysterious girl who moved in with him after she accidentally burned her apartment building down while trying to make toast. Lots of fun, and a crisp clean art style. Check it out.

That’s it for this week. If you have a comic you think I should check out please send it my way over in the message boards.

So here’s a fun fact I learned last week at the convention. When properly motivated, Daniel does a heck of an Axel Rose impression. Who knew? Anyways… The newest page for Shaman is out and you can read it right….. Here. Now on to the web comics.

Saints and Warlords – Written by Steven Lindsay (the dude behind the awesome “Jesus Hates Zombies, Lincoln Hates Werewolves” series… a book you should totally check out if you haven’t already) Illustrated by Mark Slater and coloured by Alex Alderete S&W is dark and gritty and bloody and… well cool as hell. I don’t want to say too much because I don’t want to ruin anything, but it’s a really fun ride.

Misery Loves Sherman – My son loves everything and anything done by Chris Eliopoulos and it’s not hard to see why. I was first introduced to Chris’s work from his work on “Franklin Richards Son of a Genius” (my son’s favorite comic in the whole world) a fun (and funny) Calvin and Hobbs meets the Fantastic Four type of book. In Misery Loves Sherman, Chris creates his own cute and extremely funny world revolving around Sherman, a young boy living with a couple of Aliens (the extra terrestrial kind) in his closet and who is repeatedly tormented by his “loving” sister. Just a great comic.

That’s it for this week. Again, if you have a comic to recommend or you’d like to talk about these titles just head over to the message board and… well… leave a message.

Wednesday Web Comics

Hey guys, welcome to a new feature here, Wednesday Web Comics. Basically every Wednesday I’m gonna share a couple of links with you guys to some awesome web comics. Easy peasy.

First I just wanted to remind you that this weeks page from Celtic Shaman page is up and you can read it here. Secondly I wanted to let everyone who participated in our “Name our Mascot” contest at the convention that we’ve narrowed it down to 2 or 3 so I’ll be making an announcement about the winner very soon.

Now on to the comics. This week I’ve picked two of my favorites.

Doctor McNinja – Doctor McNinja is a Doctor who is also a ninja. I have to be honest with you. This is one of my favourite comics period. The humor is so my style that I was hooked right away. I picked up the first trade from writer/artist Christopher Hastings at the Toronto Comic Arts Festival a while back and I’ve been a fan ever since. It’s the perfect combination of action and humor.

In His Likeness – The first time I read IHL, it spoiled the end of the Harry Potter book I was reading. But I quickly got over that. Using simple effective visuals IHL is both clever and funny without being overly-controversial for the sake of being overly controversial (a tricky task given the subject matter in today’s society) plus creator James Hatton is a pretty cool dude.

That’s it for this week. If you know of a web comic that you think I’d like, send me an e-mail or leave me a message in our forums.
