    Default Cover Contest: 6/10-6/16-- What a Tangled Web We Weave

    Hello! I don't think this one's been done before, but this week's theme is collections of Webcomics! Many webcomics gather up their archives and print 'em up!

    Don't forget to include your webcomic's address (optional) with your cover so others can check it out!

    THE RULES:
    1) Post One (& ONLY ONE) Cover that fits the theme of this Week's Contest!
    2) Cover must be from a Published Comic Book, Graphic Novel, or Collected Volume!
    3) Covers must be Posted before Voting Begins!
    4) Voting Begins 12 AM Tuesday and Runs Until 12 AM Wednesday PST (3 AM EST)! (This is in US time)
    5) Vote by Posting the name in BOLD of the Poster whose cover best fits the theme or that you simply like the most! A vote need not be in bold, but it does make it easier to Count-The-Votes!
    6) The Winner of the Contest is the Entry with the MOST Votes after the Voting-Period!
    7) It's Okay to Discuss the Covers but if you Think Someone's Entry Doesn't Fit the Theme or Violates the Rules, you Don't need to Argue it in the thread, Simply Don't Vote for It!

    Our underworld isn't filled with fear
    Just brass and copper, leather scrap, and rusty gear
    You can keep your hip-hop techno-pop-rock schleppin-dub
    I'm on my way to a coal-powered underground vintage pub

    We've got a steampunk revolution
    We're tired of all your so-called evolution
    We've darted back to 1886
    Don't ask us why; that's how we get our kicks




    If people are not aware of Phil & Kajo Foglio's amazing 'gaslamp fantasy' webcomic Girl Genius, they really should check it out. It actually started life as a print comic that then switched to an online format, and now releases print collections of the strip (which is how I prefer to read it).

    A most interesting topic. Admittedly, I’m not up on webcomics, but I have heard of this title:

    There came a time when the Old Gods died! The Brave died with the Cunning! The Noble perished locked in battle with unleashed Evil! It was the last day for them! An ancient era was passing in fiery holocaust!

    Maybe my favorite Webcomic (now, alas, completed) is Bad Machinery

    All the story arcs can be read online HERE

    This is the cover to the printed collection of one of them, near the end

    Not sure if this qualifies (if it doesn't, consider it a non-participant entry), but if comic strips count I follow Berkeley Breathed's Bloom County.



    (Just realized I didn't use an actual cover. This is Vol. 1.)

    Seems interesting but I have absolutely no knowledge of this, so I'll probably sit this one out. Have fun, all!

    A fine distinction between two types of Nostalgia:

    Reflective Nostalgia allows us to savor our memories but accepts that they are in the past
    Restorative Nostalgia pushes back against the here and now, keeping us stuck trying to relive our glory days.

    This has been my current reading pleasure. It has been around for 10 years I discovered and still going. It is absolutely great.
