Comic Release

In a world where the rising fad known as "webcomics" is overtaking the internet, there are many poised to profit from this trend as they draw ridiculous, uninspired dreck to appeal to the masses starved for free entertainment. The chief offenders are those who have given birth to a new subgenre known as webmanga; webcomics that attempt to emulate the artistic style of Japanese manga. Such comics have become a staple of online otaku culture, many of which have acquired legions of adoring fans, while some have even achieved commercial success by being published in a printed format and sold right alongside the authentic manga at your local bookstore.

A single freelance writer, anime and comic enthusiast, and self-proclaimed "mean fuck" by the name of Cody Baier has had enough of this injustice. Unafraid of the swift retribution that will surly come from the webcomic community, Mr. Baier has chosen to stand up and take an upfront, no-nonsense look at the biggest of the bigshot webmangas currently populating cyberspace and decide for himself whether or not their popularity is truly deserved. With a passion for brutal honesty and a keen eye for what separates true art from bland and derivative crap, some of the most well-known webcomic authors are about to encounter the toughest critic of their careers.

Some may call it malicious slander, while others call it justice that's long overdo. Whatever your opinion, one thing is for sure... This is the dawn of a new era in online entertainment reviewing.

And thus begins the epic saga... of Comic Release.
