  Shriek (comics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shriek is a fictional character, a supervillain in the Marvel Comics universe.
Shriek is a dangerous and criminally insane foe of Spider-Man. She is a powerful villain with the ability to manipulate sound in a number destructive ways.
The origin of Shriek's powers is likewise unknown; she may be a mutant, or the powers may have emerged as a result of her time in Cloak's dimension.

 Shriek Symbiote (comics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shriek is a fictional character, a supervillain from the Spider-Man comic books.
What was left of the symbiote combined with all her sisters and brothers (except Carnage and Scream) to form the new antihero called Hybrid.

 SpiderFan.org - Characters : Shriek
Pure speculation: Shriek could already have latent powers that were triggered by Cloak's darkness, by some drug side effects or by the near-death experience (assuming the cops really shot her on the head).
Shriek's childhood problems started to surface, when she talked them into becoming a family, where she and her 'husband' (Carnage) taught their 'children' (Carrion II and DemoGoblin) the evil ways.
Shriek was never seen since, apart from a cameo or two in Ravencroft, where she is presumably still held today.

 Jeff Williams - COMICS: A TOOL OF SUBVERSION? - JCJPC - Volume 2, Issue 6
The debate was quelled, possibly, by two important events, the establishment of the Comics Code Authority (a self-censoring institution of the comics industry) and the diversion of public attention away from comics to television and film.
As the two comics that were the least subversive were published by companies that comprise a combined total of 71.1 percent of the market, it would seem to be safe to conclude that most comics are not subversive.
Some 800 titles are published a year and though the comic book market has not regained the household penetration rate of 90 percent from the 1940s, comics can be found in 50 percent of today's households, with signs of a steady increase apparent (Bianchi, 1993:108).

 Carnage (comics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Carnage recruited Shriek, Doppelganger, Demogoblin, and Carrion into a twisted "family" of mass-murderers.
However, the Carnage symbiote was too powerfully bonded and despite Spider-Carnages best efforts he could not get rid of it, so he threw himslef into a dangerously unstable warp hole where he was killed.
In the video game Spider-Man and Venom: Maximum Carnage, as in the comics, Carnage seems to be sane enough to actually enlist aid from other Spider-Man villains, Shriek, Doppelganger, the Demogoblin, and Carrion.

Last season, Shriek debuted in a self-titled episode where he established himself as a run of the mill villain, with little motive and a cool gimmick.
Bruce concludes that Shriek must be sending out a high-pitched frequency to drive all the animals crazy.
Shriek does seem a bit too powerful, if you factor in his comic book appearances he sees to multiply his power tenfold every time he comes back.

 Shriek If You Know What I Did Last Friday The 13th | The A.V. Club
Also like its better-known doppelgänger, it betrays an anxiety toward homosexuality not generally seen outside the work of Eminem, as well as a belief that pop-culture references are inherently hilarious and needn't be augmented by any sort of satirical slant.
As might be expected from a film that glowingly references Naked Gun, Shriek embraces a Hellzapoppin-esque, anything-goes approach that encompasses plenty of lowbrow humor, physical comedy, campy guest appearances, and corny visual and verbal puns.
But without it, Shriek is just another witless entry in a mostly regrettable genre that, among less heinous crimes, is responsible for keeping an increasingly unwatchable Leslie Nielsen in the public eye for much of the past two decades.

The world of web comics is something I know very little about so it was fascinating to talk to people like Dave from www.twosideswide.com and Rene (all the way from Tilburg in the Netherlands) about just how quickly the scene has grown in the last five or six years.
Apparently there are some web comics that get around a million hits a month, although I suspect the numbers are so high because much of the content is still free at this stage.
According to Ade the comic had been put together in 25-and-a-half minutes, which, you have to admit, is still pretty quick.

Following that will be half-a-dozen one-shot US format comics in a variety of genres — there are a couple of offbeat superhero stories, a vampire detective tale, a football (soccer) story and two others that are barely past the planning stage yet.

The comic book industry's Eisner Awards announced this week they would be accepting potential nominees for a Best Webcomics category -- although off-line as I am, I'm pretty sure they don't call it that, they call it something like "Best Digital Comics" or something.
As I understand the way the Awards work, the judges not only have the power over which nominees are named, they also have a fair amount of leeway when it comes to selecting which categories they wish to honor.
Now if the Eisners would only get rid of its non-comics categories and grant comic strips the same honor as work on the web, then we all might be getting somewhere.

The Marvel Universe, with its realistic New York and fantastical science, can be read as a vast “theatre, a little removed from the highway of ordinary travel”, and the overwhelming emphasis the texts place upon endless individual quests for (an impossible) moral and epistemological certainty situate them firmly within the American romance tradition.
From the moment of their inception, in the 1930s, super-hero comics had always been published serially, but it was only in the 1960s, at Marvel, that the texts began to reflect an awareness of this formal “seriality”.
