FCBD 2008: Cover art!

I kind of wanted the logo to fade back a bit and not distract too much from the artwork below, but you guys are right. Here's another try:

It uses 100% black and cyan in the separations, which should come out a very rich kind of black.

Yeah that looks better.

That is so damn cool...

Much better. The white outline helps it pop out too.

*gives thumbs up in approval*

I would definitely check that one out if seen in a shop!

Too bad it's not going to be seen in a shop after all!

Will you be participating in FCBD this year?

Chris Crosby: Apparently not, as all three titles were rejected by Diamond on the advisement of their FCBD committee. The reason given was "no core title being currently published, or the current books sales not warranting the FCBD promotional support."

It seems likely that we?ll go ahead with the publication of our planned FCBD titles as Comic-Con giveaways instead. But it won't be the same.

Awwwwwww, lame

This is extremely disappointing, though I give Chris Crosby kudos for wanting to go ahead with the comics anyhow, even if they'll be promotional giveaways.

At least we can remove that hideous-as-hell FCBD logo from the bottom of the cover.

Now if only someone could work on removing that other hideous logo.

I'm disappointed about Diamand doing this, but what are we going to do when it's the only distributor of print comics? And one aspect was correct... why would a company interested in making money selling comics want to promote free comics? Hmm... Why would a company that sells software be interested in promoting free software?[cause you charge for support nyahaha!]

Though really, maybe we've been going about this the wrong way, maybe we should be releasing print versions of webcomics like we have free newspapers (that are partially owned by pay newspapers incidently.) But you know, the webcomic format does not completely adapt to print.

Anyway, just a thought.

Yay! Another reason to dislike Diamond! I was forgetting to hate them recently. Anyway, I like the "print webcomics" idea. Sure, the webcomic format doesn't completely adapt to print, but I'm sure there are plenty of people out there who would be able to adapt their web material to print. I'd wager that only the uninitiated or foolish would be drawing or scanning their webcomics at 72dpi, without giving much thought to the archival purposes of higher-res digital masters. Also, as far as more experimental webcomics go, maybe those who would be interested in seeing print could be goaded into making more print-specific comics to place on paper. You know, sort of as a form of advertisement for their web work, or whatever.

I dunno. Just thinking with my keyboard.

Wow. That really stinks, guys. Diamond definitely has a lot of stuff wrong with it and needs to move into the 21st century just a little. Sorry, but at least all the hard work won't be in vain.
