I’m a big comic fan of comics traditional or other wise as long as they
keep me reading. With this said, Gutter comics a fun online web comic
and comic book store that pokes fun at the traditional comic book
industry. Gutters was written by Ryan Sohmer, with Lar deSouza as Art
Director and Ed Ryzowski serving as colorist. Gutter comics in very
light hearted and easy going online comic that is meant to put a laugh
on your face.
The Gutter comic is not a one story comic like Superman or
Batman it’s series of stand alone comics .Gutter comics can be spoofs
like when Superman renounced his American citizenship , other times it
can get very insider, like the digs at Dan Didio .For someone looking
for conventional good guy beats bad guy feel your not going to get it
there. There website has a simple layout that makes it easy to maneuver
through . Illustrations are handled by several different artists, many
of whom are well known for they’re skilled art work in comics. Gutter
comics is like a breeding ground for artist to test their skill . And
because of that some comics may be better than others . The art work in
this comic makes it more creative and unique that there isn’t some same
old artist working on it every week .
The styles can range from retro to
new age .If anything, The Gutters exposes a lot of lesser known artists
to a wide audience. What is unique about this web comic it can appeal
to the people who love comic books but aren’t all that into super heroes
. This web comic is not just about the collectors who live in their
mom’s basement or people who are in the industry themselves. All of the
comics are easy to follow and even though some might be more insider but
you can get the idea or joke that there saying. the point is that as
long as you a have a basic knowledge of American comics . you can enjoy
the comic just as the comic book masters that can name all Superman’s
major enemies. That want so refreshing about this web comic it’s no
longer inbred. Their store is not big and only sella couple of items
it’s mostly for the people who love the comic already.
The gutter does
have it’s downsides some times there jokes are over done and their art
work is bad. But even comedians have a stale joke once in a while. I
would urge you to check out this comic your self and decide if you like
it or not. All in all their website is always color full and beautifully
made.
