Some of us have been talking about this for a while, and I've decided to take the first step in adding comics sharing posts to this blog. To kick this thing off, I'm posting a short story by Norwegian indie comics darling Jason called Kill the Cat which I scanned myself from the collection Pocket Full of Rain. As it's only 3 pages long, I hope you wont mind that I've just posted them directly on the blog.
I guess what I'd like to know is what sort of comics you'd like to see? I've been thinking of putting up The New Adventures of Hitler, but I've never been able to find a good enough scan. Does anyone here have a strong opinion on Shintaro Kago? I like him, but his stuff can be ultra-disturbing, plus it already gets posted around blogs quite a bit...
Preferred formats would also be good to know. Do you guys like the CBZ/CBR format? PDF? Just zipped or rarred image files? Do you want lossy JPGs or lossless PNGs? Both?
For those of you who really love the music aspects of the blog, have no fear! Most of us will continue to post music instead of comics, just not me, nostalghia, naguine or Lazzarus.
Shintaro Kago + NAoH + pdf = win!
ReplyDeleteThis is great! Personally, I'm partial to the CBZ/CBR format (containing high quality images of course). Then my comic reader program can read it just fine, and if someone wants to just have the images themselves (useful for potentially reading on the iPad), then they can just unzip/unrar it.
ReplyDeleteI like this direction. I also really like this short story :)
ReplyDeleteYeah.. good idea. Know any good comic blogs Sergio?
ReplyDeleteJason's rad. I had never heard of The New Adventures of Hitler, but I did find a scan of part six forward to I don't know which part, and it's pretty funny thus far. People singing in closets, Hitler likes cake, etc.
ReplyDeleteGuys, this was an April Fools joke and no comics will be posted ever again. Ha ha ha.
ReplyDeleteI.. I... I don't see the humour :( Was looking forward to it.
ReplyDeleteDouble April Fools. Response to comics has been good enough that it will likely go ahead anyway. :D
ReplyDeleteas a glaswegian, i most definitely would appreciate a posting of 'The new adventures of hitler'. Great work. keep ot up.
ReplyDeletebe sure to represent the full spectrum of comics if youre doing this, sergio...
ReplyDeleteNever! Only hipster comics!
ReplyDeleteWe only post hipster music so I don't see why the comics should be any different
