Yup. I mean, it's valuable to me as something that forced me to draw every week for seven years which has now opened up a bunch more opportunities that likely wouldn't have happened if I hadn't evolved stylistically, but webcomic audiences are made up far too much of entitled brats who will never pay for content.
If there's another way to give yourself the discipline of working on your comic on a schedule for several years, do that instead.
I used to say that webcomics could only support the seven or eight creators that were currently surviving just on making webcomics, but then a bunch of even those were finding it hard to make ends meet.
If it makes you feel any better, a publisher wouldn't solve all your problems either. I've been looking at Comixology Submit as a pretty decent outlet. No printing overhead, and even people who devalue the worth of digital comics all out of proportion still believe they're at least worth a dollar.
Which is more than the zero cents too many webcomics readers think your work is worth.

That can't be Glotka on the left, can it?
Batgirl was quite good this month. This was the first issue I've picked up since 13 or so (whenever the DotF nonsense starred), it was nice to come back to Babs and not be mired down in Batbook crossover hell.

It is. I can't say I envisioned the books in this art style but it is better than nothing.
He doesnt look that ugly/deformed as he is described in the books.

I always envisioned Glotka as a lot like Aidan Gillen's Littlefinger in Game of Thrones. And Logen as butt ugly, and with a fighter's haircut (nothing to grab hold of).
Assuming it's Jezal on the right, only one who looks near my imaginary picture
.
They are seen in the crashed Helicarrier with everyone else in #1, #2 and I think #3 as well but then are never seen again. I flicked through again and they are definitely not with the group that travels to the Savage Land. I'd just put it down to them being Bendis'd.

Is it? Having to avoid something so it doesn't replace the vision in my head for the characters because it's so far off from the book descriptions seems a lot worse than having nothing at all.

Oh gosh, the solicit for FF #10 is just too cute.
Marvel Comics Solicits for August 2013 (Comic Book Resources)
Also, Kate -centric Hawkeye Annual bros!
FF #10
MATT FRACTION (W) • MICHAEL ALLRED (A/C)
• They’ve handled media mockery, crippling self-doubt, kidnapping, and the greatest fiends the Negative Zone could throw at them -- but can the FF handle... THE SPOOKY KIDS?
• SHIVER! As they write the names of weird bands you’ve never heard of ALL OVER their desktops!
• QUAKE! As they use strange "slang" to hide their true conversations! What are they talking about? Could be... ANYTHING.
• RECOIL! At their monstrous cell phone data plan bills every month. Seriously you have NO IDEA how much these kids use their phones.
• The generation gap has come for the Future Foundation... BREAK OUT THE BLACK NAIL POLISH!

New4 horseman are an interesting bunch
If that is Daken in the front, they are all dead characters.

Ohhh man busy day yesterday and TOTALLY forgot to pick up my books last night, the wait is extended.
Sentry is coming back
How long was he gone, 2-3 years?
Sentry is coming back
Looks like Daken (two claws), Banshee, Sentry and Grim Reaper.
Spoilers from last month's Uncanny Avengers:
Wow, that's gotta be the quickest turnaround ever on Grim Reaper. That dude LITERALLY just died. His blood's not even cold yet.
Banshee's pretty cool, but I'd prefer the rest stay dead. :/
You can still use the web interface to read Comixology stuff, and I'd recommend that over reading on an iPhone any day. The guided view panel mode certainly makes it doable, but Aja's art on Hawkeye deserves being viewed on a larger screen.

AvX What-If has some pretty great covers. I may buy for the Jorge Molina art alone.
And Ribic on Thor continues to be godly.
Another flashback issue!
Sentry is coming back
Ah banshee, no matter how short lived it is, I'm always glad to see you
And sentry as a horseman is odd. For various reasons

Best things ever:
I find it funny that Kate looks like she's wearing some Margiela sneakers. Good call on being fashionable and functional, Katie-Kate.
Edit:
Deadpool, why can't I quit you when you have stuff like this?

Fuck yeah, FF is the grooviest comic around. So happy I dropped Deadpool for it.
Wowowowowoweeeee I LOVE those covers.

Funny enough, I was actually glad to see him back for the Annual. I really like his Kate, though Aja's is definitely better, as well as his Madame Masque.

Makes sense since it wasn't solicited for July but that does suck.
...I need to pick up the trades for this on the other hand.

Nah. If I had to guess, they're relaunching it for the movie.
I'd put money on him starring in a mini-series/on-going around the time Cap 2 releases. And because I love to play the wish-list casting game...
Written by Dennis Hopeless (dude's killing it on Arena - are people finally coming around to that book being great yet?)
Art by (*surprise pick*) Francesco Francavllla
I wouldn't be surprised to see Captain Marvel, Red She-Hulk, Journey Into Mystery, X-Factor, Gambit, Scarlet Spider, and Venom on the chopping block sooner than later.
Dark Avengers is ending with 190 I believe.
And I would bet that Morbius is the first Marvel NOW title to get cut, unless the upcoming Spider-Man guest-appearances can save it.

take it back >(
Wish I could, but with shop sales around 20k each, and NOW wave 2 on the way, something is going to have to give.

Morbius is an absolute abortion and along with Ways Thunderbolts is the worst book on the market. I want to know who thought it was a good idea to have the whole comic be about homeless Morbius, get a sandwich, find some clothes, stumble on a ghetto turf war, be homeless and find some clothes. awful, awful, awful.

Cap should keep the beard. He looks pretty awesome with it.
now you have money to buy Walking Dead.
I am not buying anything monthly that sells lower than Winter Soldier from Marvel, Young Avengers is my lowest selling title atm. I am getting the first trade of Journey into Mystery however.
