I haven’t written a “Bad Fan” in a while (once again proving that I am indeed a bad fan). I tend to do this. I work in waves. If I could find a job that I could work for 6 months take 6 months off and still keep my family feed I would. It’s just how I function. So here is what I am going to do. I am going to just get up off my ass and show you what I’ve been reading. It’s not a real intelligent list but at least it’s getting me started.
Devils Panties is usually my first read of the morning. Not that it’s my favorite but my list is alphabetical and D is the top of my list. If you haven’t read Devils Panties your blind and I have no pity for you. Devils Panties is a must read slice of life comic and is the inspiration of many comics that have come after it. Including mine.
The Errant Apprentice -Â Even if I didn’t talk to Kevin often I would love this comic. Here is the short description “In a world where fantasy and magic are reborn, only one man stands for the ideals of knighthood. He is Terry Lingal, the Errant Apprentice”. The idea behind this is that in the mid 1970’s magic returns to Earth and with it magical creatures and those who would use magic to their own ends. I like the story because it’s about a guy who’s trying to do the right thing because it’s what you should do and not for some greater reward.
Girls With Slingshots – Someone needs to hire Danielle Corsetto and force her to write network TV shows. The pacing is great the whole cast have style and the art rocks. Danielle Corsetto is taking her comic daily now so please check it out. She put tons of work into it.
Malfunction Junction – Another slice of life comic that I think should find it’s way into magazines. I also dig Matt Milby art style. A big part of why I think I like it is in Matt’s statement “I do not write a journal comic because I think anyone particularly cares about my life, but because I am most inspired by everyday stuff that happens to me”.
My lunch break is almost over with so I will pick this list up next time.
