As Mike Gold put it, the worst kept secret in comics was announced yesterday at the Bltimore Comic-Con — ComicMix.com is going to be doing new webcomics content, leading to the staff pointing excitedly to a computer monitor, as seen above.
Please note. I said “brand-new” and “major comics talent.” And I said free.
What talent, you might ask? Well, to name but a few, and in alphabetical order, we’re talking about Mike Baron, Rick Burchett, Chris Burnham, Michael Davis, Ian Gibson, Dick Giordano, Mike Gold, Stuart Gordon, Mike Grell, Bo Hampton, Glenn Hauman, Marc Hempel, Lovern Kindierski, Linda Lessman, Jay Lynch, Frank McLaughlin, William Messner-Loebs, John Ostrander, Andrew Pepoy, Bob Pinaha, Michael H. Price, Bill Reinhold, Nick Runge, John K. Snyder III, Joe Staton, Martha Thomases, Robert Tinnell, Timothy Truman, Trevor Von Eeden, Mark Evan Walker, Matt Webb, Mark Wheatley, Skip Williamson, Marv Wolfman, and John Workman. And more. You think we’re going to tell you everything?
But we will say this: here are the features we’re working on: Black Ice, Demons of Sherwood, EZ Street, Fashion In Action, Fishhead, Glamours Inc., GrimJack, Jack Johnson, Jon Sable Freelance, Munden’s Bar, Naked Brain, PayDay, The Prowler, Simone & Ajax, and White Viper. All are trademarks of their owners, by the way, so watch your ass or Glenn Hauman will get very angry. If he’s got to “TM” everything in sight, you should respect his loving efforts. And not all of that stuff will be going up on Day One – we’ll be starting with six.
The new stuff launches on October 2, the first of many ambitious webcomics initiatives in the works.
Heidi, I want you to be my official photographer.
Did Gold swallow Tony Isabella? Or did he eat a basketball?
Not nice, Phlegmmish.
You’re right. I’m sorry. No more smoking crack while reading comics blogs.
