Legend of Bill for Supercomic Sunday Reviews
Welcome to Web-Comic Wednesday, and Super-Comic Sunday Reviews! My Technorati rating this week is 24284 at Frozen History Seven Publishing out of about 2 million comic blogs. It is listed here: http://technorati.com/blogs/directory/overall/page-996/ I am rated Authority: 103 in Comics Reviews down 1 from last week. It is a big deal in unpaid hobby-blog obsession land. I had to beat out 3 small Comic book stores on reviews for that vast honor so yea… there is that to think about.
Name of Comic: Legend of Bill
Grade: So far so good ***** five stars.
Location of Comic: http://legendofbill.com/
Username of Creator: David Reddick
How I Found It: Google
Major Themes: Fantasy, magic, humor based on magic.
Days of Update: Monday and Thursday
Will it Continue: Yes, it many years old with regular updates.
Selling Points: I did not need to read the first few and last few comics to “get into” this series. I have been reading it for years. This comic reminds me severely of another comic book I used to collect before the webcomic days, by one of the comic creators in the MAD series. “Gru” was the loveable Conan-like bad fighter who goes on adventure failures around the world. He is much like “Hagar the Horrible” in comics. Bill is alarmingly like “Gru”, yet the warrior parody has infinite variations, and never seems to get stale. He travels the world on wild adventures seeking adventure, tavern barmaids, to defeat evil wizards and witches. It has many of the Tolkien like archetypes. Yet this warrior often has to work desk jobs, fails with the bar maids, and is clueless in adventure. Bill is more likely to raid the fridge then a dungeon hold. The witches are equally likely to be vile crones or sexy seductive types. Let’s face it, the curved girls sell. Yet it does not skimp on the story or solid punch lines. Reddick is a master of the three panel gag comic. He is worth studying just for his ability to pack a cartoon square with so much well placed art. His text bubbles do not suffer, as he evolves into increasingly complex images in each comic. This comic is one of the survivors of the webcomic world, and I say give it a read. I like this comic. I am giving it a positive review! fhseven dot com.
