Hey, everyone. I'm Ben Steeves and I make a comic called Zom-Ben. I do the writing, pencilling and inking, but don't have time to colour. I had a colourist for a while, but he got busy with school and other "real-life" things. My comic can be seen at http://www.zombenstrikes.com It is a superhero/ho...

Time again to pitch my comic. Zom-Ben is a superhero/horror/comedy that follows the exploits of a comic artist turned zombified hero after a chance encounter with the god Anubis. Join Ben Benson as he flushes his vital organs, terrorizes his alcoholist roommate, and deals with the trails and tribula...

I know what you mean. I had a factory job once, and the boredom/redundancy combo drove me crazy. I'd wind up singing entire Tenacious D and They Might Be Giants albums from memory just to pass the time. Luckily the machinery was loud enough that no one's ear-guts were stabbed by the horrible sound o...

I saw Indy. Liked it. I especially liked the plot! I thought it was really cool. Though (spoiler alert?) the bomb scene was just pointless and stupid. Just watched George Romero's Diary of the Dead last night. Allow to speak directly to George for a moment, because I know he reads this forum (actual...

I gotta go with Buster on this one. If you check out the Webcomic Pet Peeves thread, you'd be guilty of about 10 in that one page alone. Like Buster said the best course of action would be to present them just as they are in your notebook. Or how about completely retelling the doodles as a professio...

I often become most inspired when it is least feasible to act on the inspiration, namely at work. That's why I started bringing all my comicking stuff to work everyday, and I work on it on my lunches and breaks. I also keep a notepad on me to write down any good ideas that occur to me while I'm work...

I don't know if it's been mentioned yet, but I hate well illustrated comics with poorly done speech balloons, like squares with thin lines pointing to the character, or tails nearly as wide as the balloon, going INTO a character's mouth. I really hate that one. In my opinion a speech balloon should ...

I used to be huge into collecting the Marvel Legends line in the ToyBiz days. Alas, Hasbro got a hold of the license and has been producing absolute crap ever since.

Doesn't seem to be a lot of avatar rating going on here anymore, but I'll post for the hell of it (and pray to the avatar gods).

Guildmaster Van> HURRAY! You won't regret it.

Sweet, thanks guys.

Remember the good ol' days when you first started clobbering petty criminals wearing tights and a mask? Remember when, like it or not, you moved up to fighting ego-maniacal villains? Now you can relieve those glory days of superheroics in Zom-Ben, and experience the ups and downs of becoming a crime...
