More government melodrama has happened with a great deal of my personal legal paperwork. My paintings, comics, and drawings for FH7 Comics are on hold until I can get legal and health insurance issues resolved. I need to do daylong waits for appointments in offices when I used to have drawing time, to make a long story short. Until that time, I will only be posting Sunday and Wednesday reviews of online comics due to time constraints at my main blog http://fhseven.com/ on Wordpress.
Review: Here is the sad and forlorn tale of the webcomic that ended before it’s end. Elspeth ends mysteriously at the comic here: http://www.theduckwebcomics.com/Elspeth/5362842/ and then never posts again. It is not the end of the story! The series just stops! With clean lines, good story telling, and attractive characters it seems odd that it leaves off at such a standstill. The basic storyline is that Elspeth is an Orc weapons merchant traveling around Elf lands. She gives, sells, and trades weapons to the Elf people who consider her a “lower race” in a world of mages and magic. Humans conspire to help her overcome some of the Elves that took her magic necklace. And that is it! We never know if they get the Elves. Odd, to say the least! A sad end to a pretty lady Orc. My favorite comment is “Airman at 4:37AM, Dec. 1, 2009 This comic is fantastic. Is it weird that I think a half-orc is hot?” It is hard to make a girl with walrus teeth and incredible hulk arms look hotter than an elf chick. Yet this comic manages to do it. Sadly, when people are looking at a webcomic it is a “work in progress” when they are seeing it. This means it has not been put into a format like a fully published book. There is no guarantee that the author will ever give an end to the story. A one of the reasons the art form is not more popular with fans. I say it is a great comic and great effort, even for an unfinished work. I give it a good review, go check it out!

Death G Reaper for Supercomic Sunday Reviews

Welcome to Web-Comic Wednesday, and Super-Comic Sunday Reviews! My Technorati rating this week is 21035 at Frozen History Seven Publishing out of about 2 million comic blogs.

Selling Points: I try not only to review the big names of the webcomic world, but also the start ups. It shows off just how hard the work is of coming up with fresh comic ideas, inking them, and getting them down. The expensive pros make it look easy and funny, with hi priced comics software, drawing tools, and comics done more by the computer and nothing by hand. That is part of their skill, they make it look effortless so people get lost in the story quickly. Yet getting ideas, and writing them down, making them funny, and doing it with witty art is actually very hard to do. This weeks comic shows the fresh side of the spectrum, “Death G Reaper”. I first got into this story due to the magic evil bottle that a student collects. I collect bottles! Basically the bottle is a magic item Warehouse 13 style, and all sorts of havoc ensue. This comic has a grim reaper, Terry Prachett style with comedy behaviors a sort of light hearted dark character. He ends up unemployed, and job hunting between heaven and hell. This hand drawn comic is excellent for capturing a primal nature of manga. However, the lettering needs help. The last panel at http://www.drunkduck.com/Death_G_Reaper/5434587/ makes a joke out of the Reaper being *squished* out of the panel. Unfortunately, it really is hard to follow the story with the text doing strange things. In my comic, I pre-write the story in word processing and cut and paste it to avoid this sort of text problem. Hand drawn lettering takes a great deal of effort and skill. I foresaw this problem as I started making hand drawn comics, and went for a postmodern art-collage cut and paste style moment one fearing the “character squishes”. However, I must say I envy the crap out of this artist’s ability to draw both male and female characters with ease and good proportion. The lines are smooth, and the people are well proportioned. If this writer upgrades to more computer driven text graphics, the lettering will be auto formatted, and the problems will be fixed. Yet hand drawn has a charm of original organic art many readers like, so they may keep it this format. Time will tell. I like this comic. I am giving it a positive review! Fhseven dot com…
