BJ Wanlund’s Gaming and Other Stuff Journal

I’m a pretty large Trekkie, guys.  That’s just one of my weird idiosyncrasies, so deal with it!  I have also become a huge fan of the man who played Dr. McCoy, DeForest Kelley, not just because of his work on the original Star Trek, not only because he was a truly genuine individual, but also because he did a lot for animal rescue.  So, in this vein, I recommend the wonderful blog by Kristine M. Smith, the author of DeForest Kelley: A Harvest of Memories - My Life and Times With A Remarkable Gentleman Actor and the upcoming The Enduring Legacy of DeForest Kelley: Actor, Healer, Friend, which will be released in 2009, at http://almostfamousbydesfault.blogspot.com!  TTFN, Ta Ta for Now!  –BJ 

First, it was Marvel Comics doing their new digital comics initiative.  Now, it seems that Warp Graphics, the makers of ElfQuest, are doing the same.  

This really, REALLY bodes well for comic books in the future.  However, I think that Warp Graphics can succeed where Marvel has bitterly failed: In the delivery of true digital comics in PDF format, or something similar.I hope Wendy & Richard Pini the very best in their new digital comics initiative.  In a world where everything goes paperless eventually, this is a good move for a medium that has long been steeped in paper (i.e. comic books).  Hopefully more comics makers follow this lead, and we can expect digital comics online before long from all the comic book companies, including Dark Horse, Disney/Gemstone, and DC Comics.
