Assembled, Zipped, Transferred And Downloaded: News From Digital

By Tom Spurgeon

* Shaenon Garrity profiles the webcomics devoted to self-help and inspiration, like Zen Pencils. I don't know anything about Zen Pencils other than I've made several jokes about one of the comics that talked about a "Creators Vs. Haters" war, in which I'm guessing I'm a general on the wrong side. It is enormously popular, though, so I should know more about it and am looking forward to reading the piece.

* this Nicholas Gurewitch kickstarter for a Gorey-reminiscent project has blown past its initial $25K goal, as one might expect from a project by one of the major figures in webcomics culture over the last 15 years.

* finally, nice catch by Heidi MacDonald that iVerse updating their app with use of images from DC Comics probably means something. She notes here that DC's participation fits into their wider policy of being as widely available as possible. Although I'm sure some folks disagree with me, it's hard for me to think of someone that's significantly benefited by limiting their buy options on purpose, although one supposes you could build a case based on percentage/cut or one based on resource allotment.
