Hello to all of you who are reading my blog. I'm comicalgenius and it shouldn't be too hard to guess that I'm an avid reader of comics. I enjoy all kinds and genres of comics from manga to superhero comics to Garfield. Recently, many of my friends that I would usually discuss my recent readings with have begun to mention webcomics more and more during our conversations. Xkcd, fumetti, the infinite canvas- I get completely lost when these webcomic terms start popping up.
You see, although I like to think that I have an eclectic taste in comics, I have mostly excluded webcomics from my reading list. I guess that I have grown accustomed to the feeling of holding a comic book or newspaper and the sight of black ink on a white page. However, as our society becomes more technology-oriented and the internet truly takes over books, newspapers, radios, television, and phones as the greatest source of information and communication in the world, webcomics are something that I cannot disregard any longer.
Thus I have decided to embark on a journey of exploration of webcomics, not through books, but at the source of webcomics, the world wide web itself. My goal is to discover the history of webcomics, learn about a few of webcomics' popular formats and styles, understand some underlying concepts of digital comics, and perhaps find a favorite that I will continue enjoy reading in the future. I will post my findings here so that all of you who are similarly interested in exploring the world of webcomics can follow my journey.
