Good luck to him. Because that new comic of his is fucking awful. I've never been a fan of reading a comic book one page a day.

His actual real published comic is fantastic. Atomic Robo just keeps getting better and better. I can't really fault him on his web stuff is lacking if the published stuff continues to maintain such a high quality. |
Clevinger is pretty hilarious, which is why it's kind of a shame that 8-bit Theater became kind of a template for lazy, unfunny webcomic artists everywhere. It's also a shame that the first couple hundred comics are pretty weak, and are basically straight ripoffs of Simpsons jokes. Once the comic hit its stride it became one of my favorites out there, but it takes a pretty heavy investment for new readers to figure out what's so great about it. Even reading through the archives now, reading some of the comics for the 5th or 6th time, some of them still make me literally laugh out loud. HIKYM doesn't seem bad, exactly, but it's a totally different style and I don't think it's figured out what it wants to be yet. Atomic Robo, on the other hand, is flat out great. I don't read a lot of print comics, but this is one that I will definitely be following as long as he puts out new stuff. |
