  Portsmouth Herald Accent: Comics survey
Last Sunday, we launched the new iT’s TV & Comics magazine along with a survey in the Accent section to help determine which comics to keep, which to ditch, and which ones to consider adding to our roster.
We know this is not an ideal situation, but ask that you bear with the small print for the next few weeks as we tally the results of the survey.
These comics will not be added to the line-up unless they get an overwhelming show of support from you - our readers.

But unlike St. Guillen’s twisted rape and murder, during which she was tied, gagged and her head wrapped in packing tape, “in all this kind of literature, the heroes are reactive,” Lehman said.

 The rebirth of comics - smh.com.au
The first Matrix film was accompanied by online comics that fleshed out their dystopian universe with material perhaps too dark to have the broad appeal of the movie, but more than capable of building loyalty among fans.
This makes web comics a very attractive proposition for artists, as the web makes it easy to publish their material, is much cheaper than printing their own comics and also makes it possible to make more money from online sales than would be possible if their work were handled by a publisher.
Chaloner, a West Australian who writes and draws the comics Red Kelso and John Law for Modern Tales, says the web is making it possible for Australians such as Templesmith and Grug to put their stamp on the comics world.

 Spawn #150 Review - Silver Bullet Comics
However, the knock on Image had always been that its comics offered more style over substance, and although that claim is less valid today than it was when McFarlane’s upstart creation debuted in the early 90s, this anniversary edition of Spawn, it’s 150th large sized comic suffers from the same flaw.
Bookended by a prologue recapping the titular character’s origin and his return to the alleys and a full page full of sketches previewing the next issue, this comic reads like more of the same, which is one of the limitations with the material.
Sure, Spawn is the biggest, badass this side of Heaven and Hell, and both Heaven and Hell court Al Simmons to their side, but apart from Christopher’s subplot, this is yet another issue of Spawn battling demons and Thamuz, another formidable denizen of hell.

Other stories in the book confirm that if one takes away Luthor's brilliant research potential, one is left with a sad sack of a character who manages to sabotage himself constantly and has to deal with plenty of tragedy.
