I re-read this to prepare for my moderator job at the SPLAT: Graphic Novel Symposium. This book is filled with great interviews and overviews of some of the best webcomics out there, including three of my all-time favorites CAT AND GIRL, PIXEL, and PERRY BIBLE FELLOWSHIP. The interview with Chris Dlugosz is particularly funny and intriguing as he explains his beliefs in creative purism (aka his desire to make sure he never makes a cent off of his comic) and his strong beliefs on use of color...which goes on for about six paragraphs until he realizes half-way through the sixth that the book is being printed in black and white.
The thing that makes this book stand out isn't only that it's one of the few SERIOUS texts out there about comics on the web, but it's Ted Rall's interview style which feels more like intimate conversations than standard questionnaires. Also fantastic is the fact the book is filled with black-mail level pictures of the creators as kids, often showcasing their 80's computers and game systems behind large pairs of glasses.
Every morning before I put on pants and often while I put on pants I read webcomics. I think there are about 40 i follow on a fairly regular basis, which, considering there are probably 100,000 out there doesn't make a huge dent in the creative pool. Webcomics have become my morning savior, and I'm pretty darn sure I don't want to find out how to handle mornings without them. It's like the newspaper, if the newspaper actually had good comics...um...and no news.
Completely backwards of most hardcore comic fans (as I've become), before I ever read a comic book, before I ever picked up a graphic novel, I fell in love with webcomics. The amount of creative freedom, sense of community, and great work being done turns me into a giddy little kid every time I think about it. While I grew to love graphic novels, my heart will always belong to the DIY'ers on the web.

A nice touch on some of the great webcomics out there. Had a few of my favourites as well as some ones completely new to me.
