The Seizure Action Webcomic, Page 36: Back In the Saddle Again

Posted In: Blog, Comic, Making Webcomics

Hey all.

Sorry for the delay in posting new pages tot his action webcomic. At first, I had some storage space issues. I was out of room and needed to get some more space. Then, after that, i got a new job (thank God), and I’ve been trying to adapt my schedule around it. And my wife and I have also been dealing with a family crisis, and that has also eaten up my time, along with some freelance obligations that have taken up the remainder of my spare time.

But I think i have everything under control now, and I can get back to posting these action webcomics.

One small question I need to ask you, though. I’ve been saving my comic pages as PNGs in order to conserve bandwidth. But It seems as if the quality of my lettering is suffering for it. Can you guys clearly read the text? Please drop a line and let me know if you can read it. if not, I’ll have to find another way to save bandwidth, and go back to saving my pages at JPEGS.

Webcomic You Should Be Reading: AnnySeed

by Quan Williamson April 5, 2012at 12:00 AM
Posted In: Other Webcomics

Comic’s name: AnnySeed

Creators: Stuart J. Brown

URL:  http://www.colourofivy.com/annyseedhome.htm

What is the comic about: A young (at least in appearance) vampire orphan is adopted by quirky Vamp parents and sent to a spooky high school. Hijinks ensue.

How is comic drawn: drawn in a cutesy, goth-manga style. Reminds me a bit of the Bratz line of toys, and some of the goth indie comics I’ve seen. Colored in shades of grey with some red splashed in for effect. Backgrounds are really nicely rendered with alots of detail.

How often updated: Updates every Monday and Friday

What else does the website offer: Exclusive prologue, Character bios, a Youtube channel, shopzone, development journal

What do I think of the site’s overall design: The site has an interestingbackground pattern, but the layout it nothing spectacular.

What do I like about the strip:  For the story to be about a Vampire, the characters in this webcomic have a lot of humanity in them. They start off as archtypical characters you’d normally see in other stories, but as you read, you see there’s some real depth to them. The story moves at a graphic novel’s pace, so it takes a while to really get going, but that also gives you time tog et to know the characters on a deeper level.

Why should YOU read it: This is a very unique comic with a different take on Classic horror tropes. It’s most definitely worth checking out.

ESRB rating: PG-13.

Webcomic You Should Be Reading: Little League

by Quan Williamson March 29, 2012at 12:00 AM
Posted In: Other Webcomics

Comic’s name: Little League

Creators: Yale Stewart

URL: http://littleleaguecomic.tumblr.com

What is the comic about: View the lives of The World’s Greatest superheroes, albeit as prepubescent grade-schoolers. It’s basically like DC’s “Tiny Titans” except even more lighthearted, and more bitesize due to the daily comic strip format.

How is comic drawn: a very cartoony, “Saturday morning” feel. Your favorite DC heroes are drawn perfectly as lil’ kiddies. Love how the coloring is tinged to appear as if made on newsprint. Very nice touch.

How often updated: Updates every Monday and Thursday

What else does the website offer: Nothing else. Not much of a blog, just some comments by the author. There is an FAQ and some referrals to other comics, though.

What do I think of the site’s overall design: Bleah. I don’t like the site’s layout at all, and I really don’t like that I have to click on a strip, even the most current one, to get a version of it that is big enough to be legible. the color scheme and layout are both extremely bland, and the sparse layout is quite uninteresting, especially for the actual strips to be so small.

What do I like about the strip:  Growing up, I was a huge fan of “Muppet Babies.” Actually, EVERYONE I knew was a fan of “Muppet Babies.” They were the Juggernaut of Saturday Morning cartoons, no other show could compete in their time-slot (sadly, not even “Mighty Orbots”). The selling point was the pint-size, prepubescent versions of their adult counterparts, put in a brand new setting with a new, yet all-too familiar take on the characters’ defining traits. “Little League” is in that same vein, which presents these classic heroes in a new light. Batman’s darkness and brooding has a brand new perspective when he is only 5 years old.  It makes for a very charming and funny read.

Why should YOU read it: Once you get past the crappy site design, you’ll actually find a gem of a comic, especially if you’re a fan of classic superheroes. Or Muppet Babies.

ESRB rating: All Ages.

Webcomic You Should Be Reading: Johnny Saturn

by Quan Williamson March 9, 2012at 11:15 PM
Posted In: Other Webcomics

Comic’s name: Johnny Saturn
Creators: Scott and Benita Story
URL: http://www.johnnysaturn.com/
What is the comic about: This chronicles the adventures of an aging vigilante and the city he calls home.
How is comic drawn: very sharp, professional superhero-styled art. A lot of time and effort was put into the pencils, inks and colors, and it shows.
How often updated: Updates every Monday and Thursday.
What else does the website offer: It’s got a blog, and sections for fanart, complete breakdowns of the setting and supporting characters, podcasts and interviews, wallpapers and a store where you can purchase physical copies of the books.
What do I think of the site’s overall design: It’s a pretty normal comic site. design seems a bit cluttered, and I really don’t like the layout very much. but the comic is front and center and at least the rest of the site doesn’t get int he way. As long as that is the case, then the rest of the site is tolerable.
What do I like about the strip: This strip raises the bar as far as superhero-styled storytelling is concerned. The character development is absolutely impeccable. The characters, and the city, grow, evolve and change, so there is no real status quo (like in life, right?). These heroes are three-dimensional, with their own character flaws, personal tics and idioms, and it’s fun to watch them interact on that level.
Why should YOU read it: this book is a very deep look into the lives of heroes. It’s worth checking out.
ESRB rating: 14 and up.

Webcomic You Should Be Reading: Saint’s Way

by Quan Williamson March 1, 2012at 12:01 AM
Posted In: Other Webcomics

Comic’s name: Saint’s Way
Creators: Yasmine Liang
URL: http://www.saintsway.yazmeanie.com/
What is the comic about: A young, superpowered girl on the run tries to make a life for herself in a post-apocalyptic New York City. Hijinks ensue.
How is comic drawn: beautifully rendered Deco-styled art. Reminds me a lot of Thomas Mucha and the Luna Brothers. Colors are mostly soft pastels, which add some humanity to the art.
How often updated: Updates every Sunday
What else does the website offer: Just a blog and an RSS feed. There’s also a link to yasmine’s Deviantart portfolio.
What do I think of the site’s overall design: It’s a pretty unspectacular standard Comicpress layout.
What do I like about the strip: I’ve seen a lot of webcomics that have flat out gorgeous art. This is one of them. The amount of skill, technique and overall heart put into each panel is awe-inspiring. The art grabs your attention and doesn’t let go, page after page after page. Pacing, panel layout, even the nice touches of characters and word balloons occasionally breaking the panel border all add to the ambiance of the art. Oh, and the story is decent, too.
Why should YOU read it: If you visit this site and don’t immediately take a liking to the art, then you don’t have a soul.
ESRB rating: 14 and up.

Webcomic You Should Be Reading: Squared Circle

by Quan Williamson January 19, 2012at 9:51 PM
Posted In: Other Webcomics, Pro Wrestling

Comic’s name: Squared Circle
Creators: Mike Perry & Ben Rosenthal
URL: http://squared-circle-comics.com/
What is the comic about: A very humorous look at a fictional wrestling federation.
How is comic drawn: cartoony and colorful, with a style reminiscent of Penny Arcade.
How often updated: updated about twice a week
What else does the website offer: Not much outside of the comic and a wrestling blog.
What do I think of the site’s overall design: Simple ComicPress site. Nothing special.
What do I like about the strip: Once I had this great idea to make a webcomic based on pro wrestling. I would, with the help of some of my buddies in the IWC, create my own federation with wrestlers we created, and tell the kind of storylines we always wanted to see but never did, along with the types of matches we wanted to see and such. Alas, I was too entrenched intothis comic to really do anything serious with the idea, but It’s nice to see the idea of a wrestling webcomic live on. Perry’s approach is different than mine – he takes a humorous approach to it, but it is still very heartfelt and very obviously from a fan of the industry. The blogs are pretty insightful, too. His opinion on the state of tag team wrestling is dead-on, and one day I’ll piggyback some of his points on my blog.
Why should YOU read it: This is the webcomic I should have made. If you have even a passing interest in Pro Wrestling, You’ll love this comic.
ESRB rating: all ages
