Webcomic Review: Request Line!

[vultureX21]

*** Note to Moderators: This is being made as a convenience for people who want a certain webcomic reviewed. If the thread is a) misplaced or b) deemed unnecessary go right ahead and delete it, I was just setting it up to try and put requests all in one place. ***

So, post any webcomic you would like reviewed here. I'll be sure to read the entire thing and write a review of it at my earliest convenience. Turnover time has been good so far, but understand I have my own list of comics I want to write about too, so you may need to wait a while before your review is posted. All requesting members will be alerted as soon as the review they asked for is posted.

Mega Tokyo, gunnerkrigg court, looking for group, Apple Geeks, xkcd, oddfish,ctrl+alt+del and earth song. Those are the ones I read and I'll proably rate them too, sometime when I'm not being lazy.

Drowtales! Drowtales!

I realize I should have placed the list of planned reviews in here too. The reviews slated are as follows:

Erfworld (Completed)
Order of the Stick (Completed)
Dominic Deegan
Jack (Completed)
Better Days (Completed)
Least I Could Do
8-Bit Theater (Completed)
Looking For Group (Completed)
Goblins
Dungeons and Denizens
VG Cats
Penny Arcade
Broken Plot Device
Sabrina Online
Questionable Content
Dinosaur Comics
Ctrl+Alt+Del (Completed)
Chugworth Academy
Menage a 3
Candi
Chopping Block

Completed Requests:
Inverloch
Girl Genius
XKCD
Mega Tokyo
Drowtales
Dumnestor's Heroes

Since Mega Tokyo was the first review request in your post Torg I am going to put it first in my request priority queue. To be fair I'll stick Drowtales at #2 since Torg asked for several and that's only one request.

Review Schedule as of 4/20/09:
Week 1: Voted Comic (from the Webcomic Review Poll thread) - Mega Tokyo DONE
Week 2: Looking For Group DONE - Drowtales DONE
Week 3: Rob and Elliot IN PROGRESS - Dumnestor's Heroes DONE
Week 4: VG Cats - Lucid TV
Week 5: Chugworth/Boss Noodle - PS238
Week 6: Penny Arcade - Problem Sleuth
Week 7: Dominic Deegan - Lackadaisy Cats
Week 8: Questionable Content - Grim Tales


Torg you can order your list of requests on your own if you like and let me know which you want first. Everyone understand that the above planned list is going to take precedence over requests most of the time. That's simply due to the level of familiarity I have with the planned list over requests, takes longer to get a feel for requests than for comics I already read.

Hope this clears everything up and isn't too big a disappointment.

Thanks Torg. I'll do Looking for Group after the fan-voted review since it is both a request and planned review. Then I'll follow up with Drowtales and possibly XKCD, since others seem interested in that.

Two I read regularly are

http://www.dumnestorsheroes.com
A DnD inspired Fantasy Comic

and

http://www.kip-comics.com
A Psuedo Super Hero comic drawn by the same artist as above.

They're fairly amusing and fairly fringe.

Hmmm. I was gonna maybe start reviewing webcomics in future as well. That having been said, some more for your queue:

Lucid TV: Crazy people in a hospital. Not the patients, the doctors.
Scary Go Round: Fairly amusing at times.
Instant Classic: Movie-based webcomic.
Anomaly: Crude, silly and proud to be both.
SPQR Blues: Set during Roman Empire. Hard to get into. Lotsa history stuff.

I look forward to seeing your opinions.

ROB AND ELLIOT.

Is there one in particular you'd recommend?

 

[General Torg]

xkcd is written by a NASA dude, so I would recommend it to nerds. Which is everyone on this reading this comment.

 

[McClaud]

PS238 and Nodwick.

People don't seem to pick up on Aaron Williams' comics often, and he's a kick ass artist/writer.

Let's see ...

Oh, you know Dave that wrote Chugworth? He now has a comic called Boss Noodle. Just do a Google search for it and it should pull it up. It's actually pretty damn good and not full of inappropriate sex stuff like Chugworth was. It's more serious in nature. It is rather VIOLENT though.

Problem Sleuth, on MS Paint Adventures

 

[Lisser]

Lackadaisy Cats is my favorite webcomic. It's really well-drawn, and it's actually got a freakin' awesome story so far. Recommended to anyone!! Please review!!!

 

[McClaud]

It'd be sick if you reviewed Penny Arcade and CAD. Mainly because I love PA and hate CAD.

Hahahahaha.

Yeah, same here.

I know Mike from Penny Arcade and sometime, I hope to just sit down and talk to him and do some sort of "I'm just a regular guy" article for the PA forums and here. He also dislikes CAD, so it would be humorous to say, "You know, someone asked to have a review of Penny Arcade and CAD, because he loves your comic, but not CAD."

Aww man you know Mike, well if you talk to him a lot can you tell him that his work has inspired me to become an artist.

I'll try to remember to do so. Normally, I usually pass on messages like this when we chat and he's like, "Man, you don't have to be my fan messenger," and then we laugh.

I have to admit I wasn't expecting this many requests but I LOVE IT! I'll do my best to get a schedule put together. In the interest of everyone getting what they wanted I'm going to only take one request per post, so if you had more than one and really want to see one of them in particular be sure to say so!

 

[vultureX21]

By the way, what would be a reasonable schedule? Say one planned review and one requested review per week? Would that keep everyone satisfied if there was a set order of reviews?
