Day 1069 of 365 Again.
I love comics. So much so that I even write my own. So it’s no wonder that like many other comics fans, Wednesdays are sacred to me.
You see, Wednesday is New Comics Day.
All over America, Wednesday is New Comic Day. There’s only one national distributor of comics in this country right now and they ship things on Wednesday, so that’s the day that geeks flock to the store to pick up their anti-drug.
DC Comics knows this, so they’re taking advantage of it to try a new experiment. Wednesday comics is a week newspaper style comic that they’re trying. Each page is on news print and is a separate "strip" about one of their characters. So in order to get all of any story, you’ll need to read all 12 issues they have planned. Then you’ll have all of all 16 stories. This is the second week.
It’s interesting. I like seeing the manner in which they’re pacing things. Maybe I’ll even incorporate it into my own story telling for Cosmic Hellcats (which you should be reading, if you’re not).
That’s just awesome. Ya learn something new everyday!
I miss comic book Wednesdays. Used to be an avid collector.
Like how DC has a strip on the front page.

I’m kind of torn on Wednesday comics. A few of them seem great, other strips are kind of blah for me. I’ve picked up the first two, and will probably let #3 be the break or make issue.
YAY Geek Day! It’s like Cheers in the store I go to. Everyone knows your name!
It’s such good crack. Which is your favorite so far?
Arieseffects: Which thing did you learn?
casualbrewery: The entire thing is strips. It’s basically like a Sunday Comics insert in a regular newspaper.
[AJ]: Yeah, basically, I’m allowing myself to read it like any other newspaper comic section. Meaning I don’t have to like them all. It’s definitely weird though.
Mikey aka DaSkinnyBlackMan in Iraq: Hah, I was talking to Wayne yesterday, the guy who works at my local comic store about life aspirations and stuff and he was like "I used to want to be a full time part of the industry. I don’t really have that dream anymore." And I said "me neither, I just want own a bar." And he said "wow, you know you’d be really good at that." *sigh*
khaughwout: I actually haven’t read all of them from the first issue yet, even though I’ve started some from the second. Believe it or not, I’m really liking the Batman strip, even though I’m not actually a Batman fan.
hey that’s a great concept weekly newspaper comic… very cool. i’d like to see something like over here in Portugal 🙂
