Webcomics are so much better than over rated print media

DC and Marvel have recently joined the intellectual property rights bandwagon; DC and Marvel are considering legal action about ZCult.fm, an online company that was uploading their comic material for file sharing. It's like these big comic honchos are shooting themselves in the foot. Firstly, a lotta fans have support for s network like ZCult - if not for the net, they would not have access to comics that they love. But apparently, the fan population outside US doesn't count (note: am not suggesting all file sharers are from outside the star spangled boundaries but I can understand the dilemma of overseas fans who have nil access). Secondly, isn't file sharing just awesome publicity? Meaning more people will dig Marvel comics etc, etc. You get hung up on the money, you alienate a large percentage of your fans. Well, you know what? I'm supporting the great webcomics out there, who're there to express creative ideas and are in it for the love of the drawing comics. From now on, lemme just stick to webcomics until Marvel and DC get their heads out of the DRM Scheme, also known as Metallica's Fav Lullaby.

A List of My Favorite Webcomics

1. User Friendly




They are funny, they keep up with trends in the computer field and make very subtle comments about DRM etc.


2. Married to the Sea

Married To The Sea

marriedtothesea.com

Talk about a wonderfully weird sense of humor. I always did wonder about those strange sketches from th
e olden days.

3. Wulfmorgenthaler

These guys are the best - quirky humor and they make good comment about society. Good Intelligent humor, if you may.




4. Basic Instructions

This is classic! It's a bit like my fav stand-up comedians; putting a spin on those annoying little things that bug your at work.
