Assembled, Zipped, Transferred And Downloaded: News From Digital

By Tom Spurgeon

* great catch by Johanna Draper Carlson here that comiXology accounts will merge into Amazon.com accounts with -- by definition -- unknown consequences. Sean Kleefeld opines.

image* I don't do a lot of comics spotlights in this column, but the creator of this webcomic was nice enough to write in and ask for a bit of attention. I'm full up with "go looks" for a while, so this entry will have to do!

* with that in mind, it's so great to have on-line comics from Jillian Tamaki.

* I also got a note from David Chelsea, who's doing an on-line comic restricted to Patreon, with an overflow Tumblr. Please consider signing up. David runs most of what he does through his web site, including links to permutations of this project. That site is here.

* I'm not finding the writer, but some nice person or persons at CBC Books names some of the webcomics they'd like to see in different media.

* I got some grief for posting a link last week to an archival-project site. Does anyone know if there's a different standard for digital archiving without buying rights than that established in the National Geographic ruling. In other words, can you still make DVD and ostensibly web site by capture the publication page rather than repurposing or re-presenting material? .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)

* finally, Gary Tyrrell takes a look at some of the best comics of the year lists from a webcomics point of view.
