I’ve been a little busy lately folks. I’ve been working behind the scenes on something big.

Allow me to introduce it now…

So, what the hell is this? Long story short, it’s a webcomic-collective and a webcomic-news site. Similar to a cross between Lunchbox Funnies and Fleen, or Blanklabel and Comixtalk, or maybe even a Websnark and Boxcar comics-hybrid if you will…

Is this ambitious? Incredibly so. You’d have to have a lot of support and assistance to actually pull that sort of thing off right? Well, turns out there is no shortage of assistance. Let me introduce all the webcomics involved in the collective aspect of the site… the Scienteers if you will…

Cosmic Dash, Lancaster: The Ghost Detective, The Errant Apprentice, All over Migglie, Breakpoint City, Impy and Aevy, Try Everything Once and Fortissima’s Treasure Hunters.

.. and that’s not even including all of our sub-projects and other comics we may do. Although, speaking of other comics, I suppose I should mention we’ll be doing comics for the site itself, taking advantage of all of our talents. So by visiting scienteers.com you’ll not only find a hub for the latest news and information from the group, but you’ll be able to enjoy brand new collaborative comics!

So… what if you’re not quite one of the eight Scienteers? How can you benefit from the group? Simple… we’ll plug and promote anyone who asks. In addition to a fully-active news site, well be constantly scouring the Internet for comics that need a spotlight shown on them. We’ll also be running a discussion forum that allows for like-minded creators to get together and promote, discuss and advise each other on the craft. On top of this, we’ll gladly post guest articles and guest comics.

Speaking of guest comics, how sweet would a situation be where you can do a guest comic for another site that is more or less an advertisement for yourself? Send a guest comic that is entirely a sampler for your own work. Your own characters, universe and style, shown to an entirely new group of readers? We’ll be setting time aside frequently for creators to send in their own promotional stories to post! Want to advertise your newest sci-fi epic? Do a short story and send it our way, we’ll post it right at the top of the page as one of our webcomic updates! Talk about a sweet deal huh?

Unfortuantely, this won’t be launched until February first, sorry folks! Until then, you can join in the forums, talk about the site, plug your comics and ask how you can participate! We could always use writers for articles, news-scouts and people to keep the community active.

Anyway, thanks a ton for reading this guys, all of us behind this crazy new site are looking forward to launching!

See you February first!

I’m back from my week off, and I have some news to put up!

First off, we missed a lot of Mocca news, hopefully our resident-Mocca attendee (Hey there Wiggly!) will be filling us in on the experience.

In other news of interest, Websnark is doing a series of posts on different webcomics/authors, and they’re pretty good reads, give them a look!

Next, in Zuda news, Pray For Death has updated! In fact, it’s 4 new pages! Check it out!

Lastly, friend of the Scienteers, Nick Nitro is in a movie! I’ll just copy/paste his message here!

Hey everyone.Just a heads up that I was recently in a movie about a year or two ago, with some old friends of mine. Tami (Tamara) has made this really really really funny movie, so much so that I had to use italics. It’s called Johnny Appleweed. Yeah, you heard right.

While I’d love to tell you the plot, the trailers and websites here do the job much, much better than I ever will. Thing is, my friend needs your help. Heck, I do too. Apparently they are in a contest over at “From Here To Awesome” which will choose a winner and distribute the film.

Now, that is VERY awesome. I mean, sure, the imdb-listing is sweet, but if you could help not only me, but my friends, I would think of you as a rather swell person, dude (or dudette).

Anyway, sorry for the lack on updates from the inbox, things should be back up to speed now!
