I think the web comic that's up on girl-wonder.org was print before it was online, and stopped doing print a few months back.
(Which reminds me, I need to write my stupid column, now that I have some free time.)
We can come by between classes. Usually I use that time to copy over my class notes with a system of different colored pens. But it's been pointed out to me that that's, you know...insane.

Well, the great series Finder made the jump from print to online, with the plan for the yearly collections to be released at SDCC. The Finder GNs were what was making money for the creator anyways, not the floppies.
David, there has been some interesting long tail analysis of comic sales, and the basic result was that basically everything after the top 40 or so titles are drastically underordered. Hell, most months Image doesn't even have a title in the top 50...

Finder! Yes, that was what I was thinking of, thank you!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Schlock Mercenary has been online since 2004 (I think) and has sold two print books successfully this year.

Hee. This is just awesome.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Buffy comic writers being overseen by Joss;
A veritable who’s who of comic book writing talent that includes Brian K. Vaughan (Ex Machina), Brad Meltzer (Justice League of America) and Jeph Loeb (Onslaught Reborn), along with former “Buffy” TV writers Jane Espenson, Drew Goddard, Drew Greenberg and Steven DeKnight.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
Thr evil part of me is quite gleefeul about DeKnight and Goddard working on a comics series that retcons their most horrible writing mistake into something palatable. In my mind, I see Joss standing over their word processors with a wicked-looking ruler in hand (though to be fair, he did have final approval on the ptui! episode).

Hmm.
There's a strong potential for cracktastical suckage in that line up.
And while they're not exactly the B List, I'm not sure I'd call it a veritable who's who of comic book writing talent. (Vaughan and Loeb, perhaps, but isn't JLA only Meltzer's third comic book project after Archer's Quest and Identity Crisis? I mean, these are all people famous for writing, but most of them aren't famous for writing comic books.)
Err.
Possibly, I'm talking out of my eyeroll, here.

Who's on your dream team of Buffy comic book writers?
Gail Simone? Personally, I'd really like to see Alan Moore go at it. He always seems to understand the essential core/mythic worth of iconic characters.

Simone has the dialogue touch needed, for certain.
And I think that, when he's not Banging the Issue Stick, Winick can also balance the funny/serious as required. Peter David (who has worked in the 'verse before) would also be an excellent choice.
