Online Comics For All
I’ve been a little delayed in writing about this one for a number of reasons, but it’s time to put it out there now. Myself & Chris Messina from PerthWeb (not this or this Chris Messina, but a whole new one) have recently launched two new online comics. “What?” i hear you say, “more online comics? is there enough already” sure theres plenty of online comics out there, some crap, some great, but that doesn’t mean we can’t try and do it better.
The first comic that came to be was The Landscaper, this is a comic that deals with a very prevelant issue in todays society, the fact that people at a certain age are totally untouchable by the law. Hopefully the comics’ way of handling this is a bit different from how it would be handled in reality.
The second comic is Visual Assault, which kind of came about as an accident. The story behind Visual Assault is one of waring factions of eyes, competing to control the territory known as F.A.C.E. Alot of the journey to and from work is usually spent by Chris and I discussing far-out stupid ideas, sometimes we bring them to life in the form of Visual Assault.
The two comics differ completely in style and thats probably why we’re both so comfortable moving between them. The Landscaper is a graphic novel with a big storyline and a really rigid structure with humour as a small addition, where as Visual Assault is a panel-by-panel comic, with a small storyline, a very loose structure and is all about the humour.
Anyway, check out our comics and if you’re totally into them, we’ve created Facebook applications for both which you can see using the links below. If you’re having trouble adding our applications, try using the NEW facebook, you may aswell get used to it now because over the next few months it WILL become the default.
As a short side-note for other Comicpress publishers checking out our comics, i’ve been working on a facebook application that integrates the comicpress system into facebook via a wordpress plugin. If you’re interested in seeing this, drop me a line.
