January 3rd, 2006– The Webcomics Examiner has converted to a new format, and beginning today will publish on a weekly schedule. Says editor Joe Zabel, “The quarterly magazine format served us well, but we decided to change to a new look that showcases each individual article to the max.”
The Webcomics Examiner is a forum of reviews, interviews, and critical articles evaluating webcomics as a fine art. The free-access website is at http://webcomicsreview.com.
The format change also adds a host of new features, including a site search engine, a comments section at the end of each article, and archive indexing by article type and author name. Behind the scenes, a new content management system will save the editors signifigant amounts of time in preparing and publishing articles.
The new format was designed by Alexander Danner, using WordPress, an open source content management system.
The premiere feature in the new format is a review by Tym Godek of Nathan Castle’s comics. Upcoming are reviews of Girl Genius, Little Dee, Nine Planets Without Intelligent Life, and numerous other comics. The Examiner continues its tradition of free-ranging critical roundtables with a summit on experimental webcomics coming up in February.
