Writing, editing, storytelling, and more from Jim Gibbons
Last week’s “Few Line Reviews” didn’t quite make three pages but I have a butt-ton of new reviews to this week’s (5/13/2009) comics right here.
There’s a few more books I intend to read this week, but I likely won’t have tome for quick hit reviews like this, so please enjoy these and keep checking EoP for more groovy posts!

Well, it’s late, but here it is: this week’s Enemy of Peanuts: The Webcomic installment!
I won’t lie, I think this may be my worst effort so far and was drawn after drinking a full bottle of wine, but there is an energy to it that I liked. So, I figured I would post it and keep the strip going, and at the worst I can always redo this panel at a future date.
Anyway, enough of my self deprecation…Please, enjoy the strip!

Hey folks! With things going so smoothly here on EoP, I had a chance today to get my summer camp memoir blog back on track. I won’t post notices here every time that happens, but my the new post over at Nothing More American— the first in a long time—features a comic strip I drew to introduce the story. So, head on over to www.NothingMoreAmerican.com and check out the strip!
I’ll also begin posting links to any infrequent strips I do over at NMA on the “Webcomics” page, so checking there regularly will allow you to keep up on any camp comics I do.
With the amount of bows and arrows that appear in comics, it amazes me that artists and editors consistently overlook the basic mechanics and proper form required to accurately portray an archer in their books. This week’s cover to Deadpool #10 is a prime example of one of the many slips that occur when archery appears in comics.

When we last left our hero, he was doing some badass inner-monologueing as he trudged through a desert followed by a mysterious shadow. Let’s see what happens next, shall we?

This is probably the rest of everything I am going to get through this week, so here are the reactions.
Continue Reading ““Few Line Reviews” Part Deux!”
For whatever reason, my super short and super sweet comic book reviews went a little longer this week. So, instead of “two line reviews,” they are now “few line reviews!” See how fun rhyming is?!
Here’s round one for this week’s books (“this week” being in reference to books that dropped on April 29, 2009), enjoy’em after the jump and then come back in a day or two for more!

After drawing up my swine flu comic and feeling as if I had spent more time on it practicing perspective and scenery than actually on the characters and the humor of it, I really felt I needed to draw and post something a bit more…well, awesome.
Here’s what I came up with, and I think it turned out pretty darn good…

Last night I finally got a chance to sit down and finalize some of the storyboards I had been working on for Enemy of Peanuts: The Webcomic, so here’s the first two panels. I’m running a few different versions here because I still haven’t perfected much of anything (including my own artistic skills, so more versions put out means more chances to slightly impress someone, right?!). Right now, I’m shooting to deliver at least a few panels to a full sequence a week (anywhere from the meager two panels here on to five or seven bits of a fight scene), and I’ll try to post them each week on Sunday night or Monday.
Thanks for checking it out, folks! Any and all feedback is welcomed below!
