Years ago when webcomics were new, I edited a blog called The Webcomics Examiner. It was controversial– it even inspired a parody! But I’m proud of the authors who wrote for it; all of us wanted nothing more than to recognize the amazing and sometimes radical works that were occurring in the medium.
Fast-forward twenty years, and we see that webcomics is a burgeoning artform with thousands of artists dedicated to it. Far more writing and analysis is devoted to the medium, but we are still only scratching the surface.
WebcomicsReview.com was the original URL for the Examiner, but has not been in use for a while. I’m using it to launch a new blog to review and discuss webcomics, and it seems appropriate to name the blog after the URL. Hopefully not controversial, because why should it be?
