Webcomics Examiner lists Best Webcomics of 2004 

I do intend to start using this blog for personal commentary again; as you can see from this press release, I've been rather busy.

December 13, 2004-- The Best Webcomics of 2004 are featured in the special end-of-year issue of The Webcomics Examiner. The editorial advisory board surveyed the field and debated to come up with a list of the most noteworthy series and completed works. Says editor Joe Zabel, "There's bound to be disagreement about this list, but we hope it will stimulate discussion and attract new readers to a very fine group of cartoonists."

The Webcomics Examiner is a monthly forum of reviews, interviews, and critical articles evaluating webcomics as a fine art. The free-access website is at http://webcomicsreview.com.

The end-of-year issue also features an editorial roundtable on The Future of Webcomics, with T. Campbell, Alexander Danner, Shaenon Garrity, William G., Bob Stevenson, and Neal Von Flue. The roundtable, moderated by Zabel, discusses current trends and future opportunities in the still-new medium of online comics.

Also this issue, Delta Thrives artist Patrick Farley is the subject of a career-spanning retrospective by Zabel; and Shaenon Garrity writes from a personal perspective about the macabre webcomic The Stiff, by former co-worker Jason Thompson.

The Aggressive Experiments series continues, with Alexander Danner, Neal Von Flue, and Zabel focusing on classic visionaries of the medium Demian5, Daniel Merlin Goodbrey, and John Barber.

Also this issue, Bob Stevenson reviews Acid Keg; Wednesday White takes a look at Fish Institute; Michael Whitney digs beneath the surface of I'm Not From Here, and Steven Withrow and Zabel provide short reviews of frank and frank, HEADcase, and Moon Lake. The cover artist is Jamar Nicholas.
