I am both intrigued and a little worried by what I see here.

Unless they're going to use licensed characters, what exactly do creators need DC for to create a web comic?

Well, they're actually paying, so an income for one.
Having someone to deal with the back-end tech, the ads, and someone capable of taking collections to print are other advantages.
Still, I'm not saying it's a great idea, but it's not necessarily a bad one either.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
You know, Clovis would make a heck of a comic book character. It's a pity we don't know anyone who can draw. Oh. Wait...

Anyone know the deal on Astounishing? I swear we should have had an issue by now. Was there one recently I missed?

I believe they were taking a one month break after the end of the first story arc, Frank.
Edit: Oops, that's Buffy. Astonishing is probably just due to Quitely having used up all his advance margin time for drawing the book.

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Having someone to deal with the back-end tech, the ads, and someone capable of taking collections to print are other advantages.
And of course, marketing and distribution, which is what kills most indie comics, online or in print.

Ok. Who is the chick behind him? Or is it someone we don't know?

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I'm sorry, is there someone *else* on the cover?

How can a freaking comic-book cover be HOT?
