Fans webcomic revived

Cory Doctorow 9:25 am Thu Jun 12, 2008

T. Campbell writes in to announce that he's revived his long-running webcomic, Fans: "One of the first science-fiction webcomics, "Fans," returned this February. The premise's appeal is pretty obvious: science-fiction fans are the ones most qualified to save the world from science-fictiony threats. From such beginnings, the series has pushed outward in all directions, mixing humor and intensity, science-fiction and fantasy, historical and pop-cultural references, tributes to the power of imagination and portraits of flawed dreamers. The latest stories have seen the creation of a fan-based armed services division, and the beginnings of a menage a trois between three central characters. With over 1600 installments, the series is a time-wasting treat for fans everywhere. Hope you enjoy!"

It was the commitment to the verisimilitude of the fiction that really drew me in. I enjoy… READ THE REST

Here's an entirely uncontroversial statement: the convenience of smartphones and tablets is amazing. At no point in human history has so much information, communication, and entertainment been available in such a tiny package. But, that minuscule size is one of the only downsides of a smartphone, a tablet, or even a laptop. If you want to… READ THE REST
