Weekly Webcomic Wrap-Up 04/06/07

by Richard Pulfer

This will be a weekly webcomic segment I like to call “Weekly Webcomic Wrap-Up”. At the end of the week, I’ll recap the weekly events in the latest world of webcomics. While I hope to expand the list of webcomics wrapped to a sizable portion, today I’m just going to provide a double-edged starter list for those who aren’t too familiar with the genre. In other words, if you aren’t too big into webcomics yet, these are two comics you need to read.Dominic_Deegan.bmp

Least I Could Do: This one gets me every time. For Mature (okay, semi-mature) Readers only, Least I Could Do focuses on the exploits of the mischevious Rayne Summers and friends. This has been a pretty eventful week for Rayne in particular. First, he is assigned to aid the very charity worker he attempted to woo with an elaborate ruse a year ago (with horrible results). And if that weren’t enough, Rayne is felled by a mysterious illness while walking in the park with his friend Noel. Too bad Noel thinks he is the butt of of one of Rayne’s many jokes and doesn’t lift a finger to help him immediately. This all leads Rayne to fight through the medications in further attempts to do Noel harm on the way to the hospital. The latter two strips show Rayne back to his trouble-making ways, though no explanation has been made to his illness.

Dominic Deegan: Pictured above, a disarming and addictive manga-esque comic with a lot of admirable qualities, including ample charm and a devoted fanbase. Also, an eventful week for prophetic seer Dominic Deegan. First, the gossip-mongering mage Neilen is dealt with, when his equally mischevious co-worker Runcible Spoon pretends to be his newly-elected superior and offers him more money - for more work (not Neilen’s strong point). The shifty mage resigns at that point. The later half of the week had Orc refugees finally being allowe back into their homeland, after epic storm have ravaged their countryside into rocky, uninhabitable lands.

I’ll keep you up-to-date with more webcomic happening from the two above webcomics and more. If you’d like to suggest some more webcomics for me to read, review and (possibly) recap, you’re more than welcome to it!

Expect a big feature tomorrow!

About Comic Book Journal

Where do capes and cowls end and horror and noir begin? What's more important: the four-color panels, or the letter balloons within them? Did comics really begin in cave walls, or just in the Sunday morning cartoons? What the heck is a graphic novel? These questions and more are answered in the Comic Book Journal, the place between the page and the panel, the motion line and the sound byte, the superhero and the every(wo)man.
