Hey, kids! Ian Jay here. Just poppin’ my head in on the front page to announce that I have a new all-purpose webcomics site: IANJAY.net!

On IANJAY.net will be posted the rest of Try Everything Once, as well as my other upcoming webcomics projects (Near High Noon, Epiphany, and whatever else I happen to think of) and maybe some art and writing and videos and music and whatnot, whatever I feel like sticking on there. It’s kind of a catch-all site for the plethora of projects I have running right now. If you’re already a reader, BOOKMARK THAT LINK. If not, mosey on over there and get acquainted with my work, AND THEN BOOKMARK IT ANYWAYS. (Even if you don’t like it. By hook or by crook, I am going to ram my imagination down your esophagus even if it kills us.)

ALSO, COMING SOON TO THE SCIENTEERS FRONT PAGE, a series of informative videos on the topic of webcomics, filmed by me and starring a friend and webcomics enthusiast who just moved into downtown Savannah. Stay tuned, folks…

I found this ZP rant profoundly amusing. Not because of it’s subject matter, or because it was funny (as it was pretty meh) but actually because the guy behind ZP did a webcomic.

Most of the rant is aimed squarely at Control Alt Delete, so, pretty par for the course as far as webcomic rants go. The problem is, this is all stuff we’ve heard before. For a guy who is popular for complaining in an entertaining way, he didn’t find anything funny to complain about when it comes to gaming comics.

The whole impression I got “hurr hurr gaming comics, game references, sprites, walls of text”. He really didn’t even bother criticizing Penny-Arcade, which disappointed me. Granted, Penny-Arcade is pretty well polished, but there are some flaws in there that should be addressed in all fairness. I liked the little dig about Comic Genesis, as that’s where his comic is archived (which interestingly features himself as a self-insert. For shame, Mr. Croshaw). He also has a few other gems, and I use the term ‘gems’ loosely. A sprite comic… really?

Oh, and as always, drama and ZP go hand in hand, check out the forums for your dose for the week.
