This is a thread designed for discussing my Futurama Fan Comics, available to view at both The Leela Zone and my site, Beamer Games Online. For those of you who've never read them before, let me fill you in. In September, 2003 - I created an experimental comic using scan-arts. At first, I thought it'd be a failure, but the result was pretty good and got a good responsde, so I then decided to stop being a mediocre scan artist and became a mediocre comic maker. Since then, I have made 3 more issues. In my personal opinion, my best so far is either Issue #1 (it's the funniest), or Issue #4 (for its character development), but hey, that's just my opinion - if you think otherwise, then I'd love to hear whatever comments you have on any issue of it at all. Anyway, you're probably wondering why I've just created this thread if I've been making them for over a year. Well, other than the fact that I've only just switched from Geocities 2 months ago and didn't want to directly link to TLZ - I've been working on an Xmas-themed issue lately, and since it's now officially December, I figured it was a better time than any to release it. I'm submitting it to The Leela Zone right now, but until then, you can read it at my site. It's too big to post here, so here's the link to each direct page... CoverPage 1Page 2Page 3Page 4Page 5Page 6Page 7Page 8I'd love to get some feedback, so please reply with any comments, suggestions or questions you may have regarding my Futurama Fan Comics. Other than that, enjoy your read!

I've been reading those comics on TLZ for ages, they're bloody brilliant! The new one is my favourite, nice detailed backgrounds and a cool ending. Could you give some advice on how to make them? Any handy tip would be useful, I'm trying to do one, but the frames seem kinda crowded, and the lines are too rough  .

I s'pose I could put the quality down a little on future issues. Are the pages timing out when you try to view them? You could try downloading them, just go to my site (since TLZ doesn't link directly to the pages, meaning you'd have to load them up anyway), go to the Fan Comics section, right click the pages, click Save Target As and save them & view them individually. Requires a bit more work and a bit more time, but I think a download's less likely to time out than just plain loading a page.

Beamer- This is the best comic, yet! I love your style, the slightly scan-ish characters (really, they're perfect!) and the shading of the backgrounds... Awesome.  And to cap it off, they do every comic's job- and that job is to be funny. "Roberto, why the hell are we in a mueseum?" blackkat- If you don't want to be flamed mercilessly, you'll need to follow the rules listed in the FAQ. That includes no one-word posts, no flaming, no picking fights and the like, etc... Following the rules will make everyone's PEELing experience all the more pleasent, and you will proceed to not be raped in your closet by circus animals.

Thank you for all the comments, everyone, appreciate them. Y_L_B, I'm glad someone finally mentioned the shading effects on Page 2, they took me aaaaaaaages to do. Box #3 was probably the hardest, getting the light from the room above to shine on Roberto. I think that box alone has probably taken me the most time out of any box I've ever done in an issue so far, so it's nice to hear some comments on that.  Anyway, Issues #7 and #8 will be a two-parter. Below is a little preview... Unlike last time, this is NOT the final cover, just a little promotional image (the cover is likely to be in the same vein, but with Leela wearing a jacket).  However, I'd like to know something... since it's going to be a two-parter, would you people rather me release each part as I complete it, or wait a little bit longer and get both parts at the same time?

 Woah! Gun-toting-naked-sunglass-wearing-biker-Leela! *Takes cold shower* Don't keep us waiting on this one, you should release it 2 parts.
