Comic Book Journal

Another week and lots more to tell in the webcomic world.

Dominic Deegan: Oh man, was this an eventful week. If you’re the least bit interested in webcomics, please check this one out, as it is sometimes the pinnacle of webcomic achievement. Refugee orcs have lost their homeland to a violent storm while Dominic Deegan and his students participate in a food drive - FYI, orcs are herbivores - but all is not what it seems. In today’s webcomic, Dominic recieves ill tidings his evil necromancer brother Jacob might be back in business.

Least I Could Do: Rayne is revealed to be suffering from a disappointedly non-life-threatening disease vestibular neuronitis, though this does little to calm our hero. He barrates nurse after nurse for even the tiniest bubble in his IV. But the hospital incident isn’t without its own forms of payback, as his buddy Noel tells a semi-delusional Rayne there is a “ward for unwell emo boys” in the hospital, sending the delirous Rayne scampering off muttering “Crying newage hippies . . . should send . . . them to . . . Vietnam!”

If neither of these mainstream editions floats your boat, check out the Librarianist for a full frontal play on words and scernarios just as funny as “Far Side”. The webcomic could do with a little better navigation though, and might want to try using the traditional First Previous Forward buttons on the bottom of the webcomics.

Well, that just about wraps it up here. As always, if you have any webcomics you want reviewed or recapped, be sure to let me know. At the moment I’m trying to recap webcomics that update 3 times a week or more.

Also, when suggesting webcomics to be recapped, make sure they are story-bound like Dominic Deegan and not joke-bound like the Librarianist. I just need material to include in the recap, and it doesn’t do anyone any favors if I’m not summarizing random joke scenes - something would probably prove unfunny and boring the first time.

This week I’m going to the comic book shop, so expect plenty of reviews Monday through Friday. Also, you can look forward to another Top 10 by Saturday!

Have a good weekend, everyone!
