It’s been one year since Panda Force made it’s debut on the DC Comics online imprint Zuda. At 32 pages, it’s been an awesome year, and it’s only going to get better. Big plans are setting up for this summer and for the rest of the year. As you’ve probably already noticed there have been a few tweaks to the look of the site. Thanks go to the regulars at the The Webcomic List forum for giving some very helpful critiques.
Now onto page 32. Lots of punching, smack talk, and color. Enjoy! — S.
We kick off the Panda Force Summer Shorts with page 1 of “Activation: A Panda Force Prequel“, brought to you by writer Michael Farah and artist Mark Penman, with color and letters by Sean Causley. Page 2 to follow on Wednesday, July 7.
ARTIST SPOTLIGHT:
Michael Farah
Michael Farah is the award-winning* author and co-creator of We Make Clouds, a semi-ongoing office humor strip, and Bernie’s BOT, a trying-to-ongo webcomic about a girl and her robot. Both debuted on Zuda Comics. When not writing, Mike enjoys eating, drinking and breathing.
*Not really.
Today features page 2 of “Activation: A Panda Force Prequel“. Page 3 will display on Friday, July 9.
ARTIST SPOTLIGHT:
Mark Penman
Once a genius artist Mark’s life was tragically cut short in its prime. One voodoo cantation later and his cadaver raised from the grave demanding pens, paper and coffee. Tragically all zombie Mark could muster was low brow comic works.
When he isn’t eating peoples brains, Mark spends time crafting stories such as The Tales of Greasy Joe and a Zuda submission of his Peabody&D’Gorath characters. A selection of his work can be seen at his website M-D-Penman.co.uk and his Zuda submission has a new home on his deviantART page.
More action with today’s post — page 2 of Shawn Pryor and Julian Lytle’s short “Remember the Crime“. The concluding page will post on Friday, August 13.
ARTIST SPOTLIGHT:
Julian Lytle
Hailing from the nation’s capital, Julian’s work bridges the traditions of 70s poster artists like Robert McGinnis, Mitchell Hooks, Joseph Caroff, contemporary urban and pop culture with a line culled from classic fashion illustration. His “Guns and Honey” art series is inspired by the intersection of beauty and danger: the woman. When he’s not crafting up dangerous women, Julian is making “Ants,” (http://ants.julianlytle.com) a weekly webcomic satirizing pop culture.
