Week 14

The future of comics is almost purely reliant on the internet now. As of now, if you want to make a comic, odds are you're going to publish it on the internet in some way. Many times you see an IP that started out as a web comic. Things like One Punch Man start from just pure online hype that builds into a lot more in the future.

The hope of young artists when they create these webcomics is that they will be able to make it into something more as they progress with it, which doesn't always happen. There are a couple of articles that show how to not get your hopes up or how to create a good webcomic. Some are linked here:

The comic I read was Girl Genius, which was fun because it was a steampunk comic that had a fun art style and had a quirky style of writing. Newer web comics tend to be more fun for me when they offer something that it's more raw and unrefined.
