Webcomic Wednesday 9/16
Welcome back! It’s Wednesday. Every Wednesday here at WebComics.cc, we’re going to post a round up of all ages webcomics.
We’re using “all ages” in the context it’s meant to be used in: good for all ages. That means it could be kid-oriented, but with appeal to adults, or older reader oriented but appropriate for younger readers.
Come back Sunday, where we will have our “Sunday Spotlight” and take a closer look at some of our favorite webcomics!
NEW WEBCOMICS:
Spaced Thing: A sci-fi comic by my friend Eric Merced that just started this week! Only three pages are up right now, so I don’t know where the story is going, but it jumps right into things quickly and doesn’t w3aste any time to get rolling. I’m curious about the story, but I just love the visual style.

Ace of Diamonds: A Western comic, remixed. Black Diamond Western was an old Western comic about a masked lawman, a rip-off of The Lone Ranger. It’s has fallen into the public domain, so writer Ben Avery is taking the artwork from that old comic and “remixing” it into a completely new story with completely new characters and completely new dialogue: ACE OF DIAMONDS. You can read from the beginning here.

WEBCOMIC NEWS:
Clockwork Game: The Illustrious Career of a Chess Playing Automaton: Jane Irwin’s historical drama about a chess playing automaton called the Turk is a great story, and a superb work of historical fiction. It’s also no longer updating regularly. Jane says: ” For now, Clockwork Game will go on hiatus for an indefinite period. I’m still working diligently on the script . . . and even after I finish writing, I’ll still have to build up a buffer of artwork before I can start again. . . . If you’re still interested in following the story, I’d suggest either signing up for the mailing list or adding the RSS feed to your reader of choice. That way you’ll get the news of the reboot as soon as it’s available.”
Here at Webcomics.cc, this news means we’re moving Clockwork Game over to our “Bookshelf“, where complete storylines can be found. For now, if you want to take the time to read an AWESOME graphic novel, give this a look!

Dreamland Chronicles: Scott Christian Sava’s insanely popular webcomic is what you would get if Pixar made a Narnia movie into a comic book. You just may want to get started by going to our library and reading book by book, or just starting from the beginning on his website. There’s a reason he’s got millions of readers. Updates every weekday.

Kurt Kolka’s The Cardinal: The investigation into the Scarlet Assassin continues! Two new pages of Kurt Kolka’s adventures of The Cardinal, a comic strip that has been running in one form or another for decades now, went up since our last announcment. You can start this new story from the beginning here. (And watch for WebComics.cc’s presentation of The Cardinal Classic, starting from the very beginning of Kurt Kolka’s original run!) The Cardinal updates every Sunday.

One Swoop Fell: If you’re not reading One Swoop Fell, you should. One Swoop Fell features beautiful artwork and compelling characters. One Swoop Fell is the best of what all ages comics can and should be. New to One Swoop Fell? Read from the beginning HERE. One Swoop Fell updates every Wednesday.

Reverend Fun: Skewed humor strip that skewers some of the trappings of the Christian life. I’ve seen a lot of strips like this, but this is easily my favorite. (I even did a blog post showing some of my favorites.)
