Today’s featured comic is Two Rooks!

In a world divided by disease and ruled absolutely, a handful of people remain rebellious. A man named Deatoura is contacted (in the men’s room) by the Queen of Hearts- she wants him to kill the president, a man he inadvertently put in power by killing his predecessors. He’s not too keen on the idea but the rewards are more than he wants to pass up… Amazing art, dramatic story, and loads of style.

We have a couple of comics ending today :[

The hugely popular and long-running (by the hard-working Inkmoney) Elijah and Azuu will be posting its last update on Monday (that’s today). I’ve been told that it’s one of “those fancy-pants Flash animation thingies” so if you needed MORE reason to check it out other than the fact that it was a good comic and Inkmonkey is cool, there you go. Let’s hope Inkmonkey has more projects in the future!

Walrus’s Anime Remix ended on Sunday. That’s not Walrus’s only comic though, so if you are a fan, check out his other stuff too!

Now for the comics that are still going!

Sluice by Milky has reached 50 pages!

Also reaching 50 pages is Doctor Shadow’s Chronicles of Wyrden! Coincidentally, the 50th page is also a celebratory page for having achieved over 100 favorites subscribers!

who else is at 50 pages? Let’s see…. there’s Putrid Meat by PIT_FACE! That’s at 50 pages too!

congrats to all youse guyse

Monday’s featured comic is Guts!

Military and psychic rescue teams arrive too late to save Lancelot unit, who are found gruesomely dead in a mansion infested with paranormal dangers. It doesn’t take long for them to realize they’re in way over their heads…. Compelling storyline and amazingly detailed art will remind you of Hellboy and Guy Davis’s BPRD work. The black-and-white style is a treat to look at, and you should see the color pages!

Milestones!

Nepath (sounds kind of Egyptian doesn’t it?) has a superhero community project named Heroes Unite, and on Thursday it’s reaching 50 pages! 50 pages is pretty awesome for a community comic so go have a look!

At 100 pages we have mlai’s FIGHT, which I strongly reccommend everyone check out! I’d have featured it a long time ago if we could feature fan works…

Also at 100 pages we have Times Like This by PyThomas, which will be posted on Tuesday! Congrats! Man if I had a hundred ANYthing I’d be happy…

ANOTHER comic at 100 pages (so many industrious comic-makers!) is newgirlcomic’s New Girl! These guys have made a big achievement with 100 comics, I think they deserve some people stopping by to see what they’ve got!

And one last publishing-related announcement from houseofmuses (creator of House of the Muses, among other projects)!

Pride Festival 2008 Inventory Already Sold Out!

I’m making lemonade out of lemons re: the Pride Festival book selling nix. A local comic shop is selling some of my books for me AND he wants to sell for me any Prism Comics 2008 Guides I have left over from Pride, plus I’m sending out complimentary copies to the local LGBT youth groups and PFLAG in our area.
I’m at an awkward age in my book publishing process at this time. My series is growing in popularity but not hugely—I had 60 books of issues #1 and #2 to sell at Pride Festival this year but was informed on Thursday that I could not, I’d need to pay for a commercial booth. I thought, nuts to them, I need to move these books.

As of now, Saturday, I am almost sold out.

I WILL be appearing at Kentuckiana Pride Festival this year, tho, representing Prism Comics. If any of you are in the area and mention seeing this bulletin on DrunkDuck.com, I’ll have some autographed copies of House of the Muses #1 and #2 tucked under the table.

In the meantime, the fastest way to buy installments of my graphic novel miniseries is here:

Today’s featured comic is Surfboards and Rayguns!
Intergalactic love and war on the beaches of Hawaii… as Wizer gives free surfing lessons to blonde bombshell Kona (who is interested in more than a ‘beach bum, to his dismay), spaceships battle in the stratosphere above them. Forgive the excitable punctuation early on, because this comic looks absolutely lovely- especially the water- and has a pretty interesting story developing.

Also I’ve received a completely valid criticism that all the featured comics in the past while have all been actiony guy type comics… so I will make an effort to find girlier stuff to feature.
(more…)

Today’s featured comic is Simply Sarah!

Meet Sarah, a girl who is constantly under pressure from her family to find a boy and fall in love with him. Just one problem- she fancies girls. What’s Sarah to do? Her new friend Janey invites her out for some fun, but Sarah can hardly enjoy it as the entire time she’s wondering whether she should tell Janey how much she really likes her… unfortunately romance isn’t the only thing in her life that is difficult for Sarah.

The comic Leo by alexhatzia has just ended, which I find very sad as I featured it two weeks ago and I thought it would be going a bit longer! However, now that you know it’s a good comic and you know it’s a complete story, I think you should definitely check it out!

—-

From Anubis of Blood Bound, we are told that the print version of Blood Bound Vol.2 is now available, and also that Sassy (the comic’s succubus) will soon be getting her own clothing label!

—-

Man-Boys! by Brett at Ed Comics, which you may have thought was on hiatus, is back now and has posted its 75th page! They’ve also recently published their first 31st strips in an ash-can comic book size, and you can purchase it at their home site!

—-

ReincarnatedPotato (oops, I mean Parano) tells me that Serai has just reached 50 pages! Congrats!

—-

Stickman and Cube by Pieguy259 has reached a big 175 comics! He says that achievement was “against insuperable odds” so I guess we better congratulate him, huh?

—-

And lastly, smkinoshita of Super Temps decided he was gonna interview me, which was very nice of him, but I bet he’s sorry now because I talked a lot and didn’t give up any good admin dirt. However, please visit the interview and tell smkinoshita what great questions he asked (because he did) and that his snarky comments on my answers have improved the whole thing immensely! smkinoshita interviews skoolmunkee

Sorry this newspost is a day late, had some all-day work stuff yesterday and couldn’t bear the idea of being on the computer….

Thursday’s featured comic is Manifestations!

Like several other great pieces of media, Manifestations starts with an awesome plane crash. Things only get more interesting from there. The creator of Devoid Of Life brings us a terrifying story of ghosts, monsters, resurrected cats, and other wild and scary things crawling around behind the back of reality (although ‘reality’ is a questionable concept, here). Smart, spellbindng, and looks amazing!

—-

Story of a Robot (one of my favorites, and not just ‘cos the author is a Brit) has reached 125 pages! You guys should definitely check it out!

Rival Angels (you know, the one about hot babes rasslin’) has reached the big seven five! (That’s 75 for you non-spellers). And albone has told me a bit of info that ought to get a few of you rushing to read: “We’ve seen a lot of nastiness in the ring but we’re about to see some nastiness on the outside of the ring as well. Booze never helps in these situations.” DRUNKEN CATFIGHTS awesooooome!

Monday’s featured comic is Nothing Really Serious!
Why is it so hard for people in love to just love each other? Making decisions based on their perception of the other’s best interests, or ignoring the one better for you because you like the other better, or not taking someone seriously… It’s all a bit of a mess really. Nothing Really Serious is a comic about the frustrations of love when the participants aren’t on the same page. Lovely art too!

Over the weekend, I updated the Big List of Bugs, the Big List of Suggestions, and the Big Community Projects Thread. Just FYI. (Protip: Loads of community projects going on!)

Contest!

Returning comic!

As of today, Clench and Cheese has returned after 8+ months of being away! Anyone who missed it, it’s back! Normally we don’t post this kind of announcement, but carrollhach bribed me with gold and precious jewels. (so nobody else ask)

Milestones!

Hyperactive Comics will reach 200 pages on Wednesday!

reaching 50 pages is diana_m’s Death by Spikes!

freakenburger has two announcements- firstly, that Telenime has reached 50 pages - and next week, Freakenburg hits 25! Double congrats!

Another twofer, this time from Dumok- Monster Lover has reached 100 pages, and Shadow Root has passed 25! (Both A rated, so wait til you get home from work!)

The lovely Morphic from Frostflowers has reached 100 pages!

Congrats to all you milestone folks, they are big achievements!

Thursday’s featured comic is How Unfortunate!

Inept police, inept villains… is anyone in How Unfortunate capable of doing their jobs? Let’s hope not, because things are pretty funny the way they are. Part cop movie, part Powers, part Naked Gun- read about what happens when a team of strangely powered (and poorly named) baddies goes up against a couple of reluctant cops and their also-reluctant ex-baddie super-powered partners. (Sounds complicated, but it’s not!)

Lots of milestones today!

In order of receipt!

Only Half: Faith and Salvation turns 100 pages on 26 June! It has been a YEAR since I started this chapter, (I was in surgery on 6 June and the next day started the new schedule and the new chapter - strange how that came together!) And once again with the 100th page comes a switch in chapters! Starting 26 June we start into “Common Foes.” Cabal gets a lot more than he bargained for in resuming his father’s trail. Sure he catches up with Renate in the town of Targus, but so does the vampire brood and Victor Sierra all at the same time. Join the mayhem!

Neilak20’s Soapbox Hill has reached 175 pages! For the curious, it has also resumed its regular Monday updates!

ifelldownthestairs tells me that I Fell Down the Stairs will be 300 comics old on Friday! Congrats! (Although no congrats are in order for falling down stairs)

Azaeziel’s Karen the Marilith has reached its 125th page milestone! That page also marks the beginning of the 4th chapter, after an unexpectedly long Chapter 3 (Nothing wrong with long chapters, I say!)

Tank Buddies Forever (sounds fun!) by Vakanai (who is a pretty great guy) will hit 25 pages on Friday!

Monday’s featured comic is Dirtheads!
Dirtheads is a comic about three twenty-something guys doing their part to cut the crap in the world. Gooch goes on a quest for reimbursement and reveals the ‘pretend’ service practices of modern businesses. Vince starts dating ‘a reader’ that he tries to impress by sounding more intelligent than he is, and finds that things work better when he’s not putting on an act. And Manny… well he’s just an overeducated loser with high expectations.

I’m in a hurry this morning so sorry if I don’t put as many useless words as usual into this newspost! (Also, Thursday’s newspost might be a little late.)

Beyond Human by HalJones turns 100 comics old today! Congrats! Also, the comic is in a brand-new chapter starring Aeric Summers…

I Fell Down the Stairs (by ifelldownthestairs) has reached its 1st anniversary! Awwwww!

curlpop’s Lama Glama hit 100 strips last Friday! Woo!

Age of Ends by DMH has reached 25 pages as of last Friday!

Hitting 50 comics over the weekend was The Adventures of Toast and Pie by Davekrill!

And with a sorta-triple-whammy-I-think is royduncan’s The Villain Next Door, which has reached page 50, starting book 3, and had its new website featured by its host as a site of the month!

Thursday’s featured comic is Better Luck Next Time!
Meet Teddy Atwater, a kid who only did enough to scrape by… until a sports injury meant he couldn’t even manage that. Now he has to repeat the sixth grade, which is no easy task when you have the friends that Teddy has. Although the art style is simple, it’s appealing, the characters are really distinct and enjoyable, and there is lots of background and supporting information for those who like a little more meat to their comics.

MAG-ISA by kyupol now has 150 pages!

Also reaching 150 pages is Bittenbymonk’s The Uncanny Uper Dave!

Monday’s featured comic is Awakenings!

In the relatively near future, a policeman agrees to assit on a difficult and disturbing case, chasing a brutal criminal that has eluded him before. But how does this lead to him murdering his own son…? Professional level art will draw you in, but the compelling story will make you stay.
