After all the talk of female creators in comics (or lack of) as of late, the Kickstarter for Womanthology just broke $101k with 4 hours left.

Booyah.

I just thought I'd throw this up quick since we have a lot of artists, writers and comic fans in the comm...

Womanthology is an all-female comics anthology that's been getting a fair amount of press for its Kickstarter campaign. There are 140+ contributors, both unpublished talent and some pretty well-known names (Gail Simone, Ann Nocenti, Fiona Staples, Ming Doyle, etc etc etc). All profits will be going to charity, which is why they need a Kickstarter even though IDW is publishing it.

Since the pledges have already blown past the amount needed to print the anthology, the organizer (Renae De Liz who did the art for The Last Unicorn comic) is looking at doing a second volume most likely with both male and female contributors. There is a secondary creator list being put together here both for a future volume and in case any contributors for Womanthology have to step down for whatever reason. Just wanted to share for all the writers and artists here who are interested in doing comics to have a chance to throw their names in too :)

There's also a couple pledge spots in the Kickstarter to have your art portfolio reviewed by the Editor in Chief of IDW Publishing. $100 IS cheaper than going to SDCC, I suppose...

So hey guys. I scanned these two images from this week's Secret Six for our lovely resident Catman, and I figured that they were so amazingly beautiful I should share with everyone.

From Gene Ha's webpageblog:

"Current Projects
TheBig Secret Project is out: it's Bill Willingham's Back Roads from publisher IDW. Click here for a CBR interview with Bill, and my blog post announcing the project.

Also doing alternate covers for Kevin Smith's Batman: Widening Gyre at DC. I won't be doing interiors, but I will do covers for Wildstorm's ongoing Top 10 and Authority books."

That wasn't there the last time I checked his blog, like, a week ago. So that's, um, EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!

Also: yay, Authority, as per usual.

Errrrrr..... I'm not sure how many people are aware of this comic? But my teacher gave us a heads up about it.

On iTunes right now they have (I think exclusively, but who knows) the new Spider-Woman: Agent of S.W.O.R.D. series going (with Bendis and Maleev). It's $9 for a 'season pass' (I assume that means the whole volume/series?) or $2 per episode. Seems alright though the voice acting ...kinda makes me laugh at times, personally. They're trying too hard to be gritty. The art is really nice though, the whole moving-graphic style like the Watchmen motion-comic (no speech bubbles in this one though, just voice acting). The previews only let you see the intro to the comic so you can't, you know, actually preview any of it but my teacher showed us the episode he downloaded and it looks very nice. Can't say anything for the story so far since we only got to watch maybe... a minute of it.

To get to it, either search Spider Woman or navigates tabs: TV Shows > Animation > Spider Woman MARVEL

In the wake of that other series posted a lil further down, I'm wondering now if this Spider Woman series will end up interconnecting with it....

Anyone know more about it than I do? x___X

EDIT: They also have previews up on youtube but I assume there's some sort of file protection on the full episodes to prevent them from actually being uploaded from iTunes, as I haven't found them on there yet.
