Dylan Edwards e-mailed us to suggest we take a look at his webcomic, Hero High, which is part of the Zeroes 2 Heroes social networking site. The comic is very attractive and definitely the sort of thing a kid would like, but the Flash viewer it’s embedded in is a bit buggy, at least in my Safari browser—in full-screen mode, the pages won’t turn and the bottom part of the comic is chopped off. Good stuff, though, and well worth a look. I hope he publishes it in paper form soon!
Here’s a new webcomic that looks like it will have all-ages appeal: Backyard Frontier, by Dennis West. It’s a four-panel gag strip, updated daily, about a boy and a space alien; both the art and the humor are clean and simple. (Via Comics Worth Reading.)
