Web comic Round up


Hey guys thought I'd give you a quick low-down on some web comics Iv'e been checking out recently: 


Blow the Cartridge: ‘Blow the Cartridge’ is a weekly comic strip by former game designer turned web comic creator Cameron Davis. Humour is video game centric, with a focus on old games (and by old, I mean everything from street fighter 3 to Civilization). Instead of inside jokes about the 'game that came out a couple of days ago', Davis’ comics are relatively easy to follow with  a quirky often pun based humour to them. The comic updates weekly and in my opinion is worth checking out once to twice a month.
 Favourite stripSamantha Fox Strip Poker


The Gutters: It always surprises me how many people who read an enjoy comics do not know about ‘The Gutters’. Written by career web comic creator Ryan Sohmer (Ryan also writes Least I could do and Looking for group) and illustrated by a rotating roster of artists, the Gutters delivers consistent and hilarious commentary on the comic book industry. Easily one of my all time favourite web comics, Updates Wednesday’s and it worth checking out  weekly.
 Favourite strip: If Batman was on 'Lost' 

Chainsawsuit: Kris Straub’s Chainsawsuit delivers his funny, off beat and often bizarre take on the world in three glorious panels. Most of the time the strip hits it’s mark humor wise, although every now and then it goes on tangents that are a bit hard to follow. Straub’s cartoon figures are cute and instantly recognisable as his creations. Comic updates three times a week but only worth checking out once a week.
 Favourite strip: The Fontalist
