NEW COMIC MONDAY: Badlands by Steve McGary
About the Strip:
Having debuted in 1988 in the short-lived British daily, The Post, Steve McGarry’s western spoof strip “Badlands” was snapped up the following year by The Sun, Britain’s best-selling newspaper. The silly and saucy antics of Marshal Mask and his motley mob of maladjusted misfits were an immediate hit with the paper’s 7.5 million readers. During its 12-year run in The Sun, Badlands spawned two best-selling book collections in the UK.

This Week’s GoComics Staff Pick: Incidental Comics
This week’s pick comes from our Assistant Editor, Josh Peres: Incidental Comics has an irresistible pull for me. Human eyes are drawn toward beauty, and creator Grant Snider makes beautiful comics. The color palette, the intricate drawings that feel so wonderfully simple, the clever layouts – all come together to make this strip unique and eye-catching. You never know what you’re going to get from one strip to the next; it’s as varied in its subject matter and style as a comic can be, and the humor covers the spectrum from subtle to laugh-out-loud funny. One day it’s a fun riff on summer reading lists; the next, it’s a comic poem about Greek gods participating in the Olympics. If you aren’t reading it yet (and you aren’t already asleep from this epic-length droolfest of a review), go read it now. And don’t dismay when you realize you have to wait a few days between new strips – you can read lots of past Incidental Comics strips in the GoComics archives!
This Week’s GoComics Staff Pick: Lio | http://bit.ly/gocomics-lio
Our pick this week comes from Operations Coordinator, Aaron Shoemaker:
Conquering - even embracing - the cliché fears of kids and adults alike since 2006! From befriending a spider in his very first strip to recruiting the “monster under the bed” to turn off the light before bed, Lio has captured the hearts of readers through his often strange, but fun-loving antics.
While Lio entertains us on a daily basis, it was the Sunday strips that first caught my attention. Mark Tatulli’s coloration is truly a work of art!
Guess it’s true… The camera really does add 10 lbs.
Aha! So, that’s what “turbulence” really means.
Eric the Circle undergoes his first physical today…
More White-hot Comics Crossover Action!
Lio meets Charlie Brown… or DOES HE?
