Webcomics Get Serious(ly Good) (ComicsAlliance)

Apr 14th 12:19 PM: Hey Clayton:

Thanks for the love! I've just finished the entire SHOOTING WAR novel, and if you like what's online, that's basically now a rough cut of the first half of the book. The whole thing's been visually "remastered", reworked and rewritten into something much tighter and louder. It comes out Nov 19.

But that's not why I am writing.

If you're looking for smart and varied webcomics, you should be hip to ACT-I-VATE, a daily web comix anthology that both Josh Neufeld and I are founding members of. We've hand-picked over 20 cartoonists to create ongoing online graphic novels by auteurs like Dean Haspiel, Nick Bertozzi, Leland Purvis, Nikki Cook, Paul Maybury, Tim Hamilton. This is where we're making the kind of comics we want to read, and having a realtime dialogue about our work with the readers and other creators. It's been an amazing experiment for a year already and I'm watching old and new pals of mine suddenly creating the best work of their careers, all at the same time.

You should drop in sometime and say hi.

--love--> d!
