Webcomic Beacon #17: Comic Brainstorm Session #3

Fes and Tanya sit at the Round Table, once again, for a comic brainstorm session with Eric of Exiern, Thom of Crossworlds, and Gothia of American Gothic. We get down to business and crank out a lot of good information on our Primary and Secondary Characters! Aarin Edwards and Brett Hainley are out this week, but we have a guest reviewer! Mark of Autumn Lake wants to try out to be our Webcomic Reviewer, and he reviews Chronicles of Salterre.

Webcomic Milestones coming up in the next week: Life and Death will be hitting 500 comics, and Dead Days will be hitting 400 comics! Congrats!

Webcomic Beacon #16: Net Neutrality?

Brett Hainley joins us in our discussion on Net Neutrality. We mostly learn that Fes knows the least about anything, of anyone in the room. STAY IN SCHOOL! … or at least pay attention more… Anyway, this week we had it set up as an Open Forum, where we had a live broadcast using uStream. We hope to do it again next time. We ran out of time for a Webcomic Reviews and Impressions, but we have only one Milestone this week: Mr. Oblivious has hit over 100 comics!

We are currently looking for a new webcomic reviewer for The Beacon. Stay tuned for more information or send us an e-mail asking for details!
