6/12: Week in Review

Delivering the news rapid-fire, Jackson Ferrell brings you

(formerly known as Update Boxers and News Briefs, but no one wants to see me in my boxers)

• Dinosaur Comics ran a guest week this week, featuring the various comic talents of Carly Monardo, Ben Driscoll, Zach Weiner, Michael Firman, and Andrew Hussie. Guest cartoonists' approaches range from innovating within the DC format to saying "Screw you, format!" entirely, with hilarious results. The guest week starts here.


• Dr. McNinja really knows how to begin a new storyline. Seriously, what is that dude even doing there?


• Blank It recently introduced the first female character to inhabit its increasingly-populated world. This week, it introduces an airplane. The airplane runs over the girl. I'm not kidding.


• Penny Arcade wants to know what you want. The PA creative duo has the beginnings of three different story concepts, in the form of sample comics, that they began to unveil this week. Reader response will determine which concept they pursue.
  
  • Wednesday's entry, "Lookouts," a sort of life-or-death Boy Scouts organization that explores and patrols the deadly Eyrewood,
  • Today brings us "Automata," nineteen-twenties crime fiction with quasi-illegal robots, and
  • Next Monday will be something to do with Jim Darkmagic.
  If you haven't read Penny Arcade in awhile, swing by the site and check out these projects. They all look intriguing so far, and whatever gets chosen, I know we readers are in for a treat.

And that's a wrap for this week. Tune in next week for more crap about webcomics!
