The week in Submit 1/8/14: Blastosaurus etc.http://ift.tt/1cZTS1Y

Comixology’s Submit portal has become one of the biggest digital publishing programs on the web and probably in comics; creators upload their comcis, and Comixology digitzes them for the Guided=View and the two split the proceeds. Pretty simple.

Every week or so there’s an announcement of the new comics available via Submit and here, without annotation is this months list, including Richard Fairgray’s Blastosaurus, a humorous dinosaur comic from down under. Some of these comics are forgettable, and some are pretty cool—but at only $.99 each, it’s a pretty slim investment.Previews are available in the links.

Anyway take a look and support your local creators.

 

A Waste of Time
Written and Drawn by Rick Worley
SRP: $9.99

“The first full-length collection of irreverent and sweet comic strips from Rick Worley. Featuring a foreword by StevieD and EvilJeff from the Comic Book Queers podcast.Foul-mouthed, sex-obsessed and misanthropic, Rick is no ordinary cute cartoon rabbit. The strips in this hysterically funny, surprisingly sweet collection range from fantasy tales about a closeted fundamentalist teddy bear, an oversexed fox, and a doomed robot love affair to autobiographical comics that share maybe a little too much information about the author. In their quest for contentment, the characters fail, fail, and sometimes fail again, but they never stop looking. There’s always the chance they’ll find that one person who was worth the search.Or maybe not.”

The story follows a 25 year arc, as the East Village evolves from a drug dealers battlefield to a developers gold mine. In the 1980′s profound instability was caused by the abandonment of landlords and city government, and the relentless onslaught of drug dealers claiming building after building and block after block. In addition, the community fabric was torn apart by the dual invasion of GRID, ( Gay-related immune deficiency, later known as AIDS ) and crack cociane.Despite these catastrophic circustances, we follow a small ensemble of proud immigrants, native new yorkers, young students and old community activists work to retake and rebuild the war zone.It is against this backdrop that the story unfolds.
