Best Webcomics Ever (This Week) 2.12.12
Hey, everyone. I did it again. I misspelled something in the last post. (Here's a fun game: See if you can find it!) I just want to point out that these mistakes have nothing to do with the fact that every single one of these columns has been turned in late and rushed to front page...
Best Webcomics Ever (This Week) 2.5.12

Best Webcomics Ever (This Week) 1.29.12
If I'm counting correctly, this is the tenth Best Webcomics Ever (This Week) column, which means there are at least fifty exceptional webcomics that have been highlighted in only a few weeks time.

In last week's column I mentioned that I thought traditional print publishers still had the edge over webcomics when it came to being able to distill the best material from a variety of creators.

The Dangers of SOPA, The Stop Online Piracy Act, to Comic Books and You [Op-Ed]
If you spend any amount of time on the Internet that doesn't involve asking someone younger why you can't get Google to work, then you've probably seen a united and unprecedented team of companies and creative professionals -- including ComicsAlliance's parent company AOL -- coming out against the proposed legislation referred to as SOPA, the Stop Online Piracy Act...

There are some excellent offerings in this week's round-up, so I hope you're prepared to waste some valuable time online after reading this post. Wait, what am I saying?! You clearly do if you're reading these words. Stupendous!
I know I mention a handful of the same webcomics each week, but I have to point out that the most recent update from The Gutters is, again, pretty damn funny...
Marvel and Barnes & Noble Bring Graphic Novels to the Nook [Review]
Whether comic book publishers and retailers are ready to admit it or not, a robust digital subscription service is the industry's only hope of retaining a sustainable base of consumers that purchase serialized content. Comics, like other forms of art, are a medium that will never go the way of the dinosaur, even if they someday go the way of poetry...
Best Webcomics Ever (This Week) 1.8.12
Welcome back to another round of Best Webcomics Ever (This Week), where the comics are made-up and the opinions don't matter. Thanks for all the comments and suggestions, especially David from last week who made the "It Gets Better" joke...
