First off, I am not a comic expert, far from it.

I was wondering if any of you heard of the web comic Gone with the Blastwave. There really isn't a story, it's just 2 soldiers in a post apocalyptic world war. They've pretty much been so desensitized towards killing, to the point in which they get a sense of humor about it.

I personally like it overall. Enjoy the artwork, enjoy how 'human' it feels sometimes, and just the humor. Just throwing it out there to see if you guys share the same sentiment, since this is the go-to place for anything involving comics.

Well, I AM a comic book expert (that is, if it's about The Badger). But I'm also a big online comic fan, like CTRL-ALT-DEL and Penny Arcade, and I read a few of these and really dugg them. Thanks for the post!

dude, I just read all of these. These are brilliant. Great anti-war satire. Hilarious too. The artwork is absolutely awesome, though, seriously. It's so animated and the guys in gas masks are often so full of expression, it's like you can see their faces, just by the way they stand, etc. awesome. THANKS man :)

I liked it until I scrolled down and saw the speech bubbles. The dude takes all the time to do the digital paintings for each frame, and then cops out with the basic perfectly round bubble at 80% transparency and the arial font.


Seriously, who fucking uses arial?

Yeah the lettering is a little lame for great artwork, but I'm checking it out.

Comic Sans Serif would be better?

I watched a movie, I can't remember what, and at one point some characters gather round to look at some map or something, and I swear the font on the document they were looking at was Comics Sans. Needless to say, the movie sucked.
