Sugar Shock!

If Joss Whedon didn’t have enough projects going on in his working life right now, he is doing another one. And, yes, you've guessed it: in comic form.
So, he has now joined forces with artist Fabio Moon to create an e-comic starring an all-female (with a robot) rock band called Sugar Shock, reduntantly called Sugar Shock! You can see it for yourself here, at Dark Hose Presents in MySpace.
The pretty pictures are, in my humble opinion, quite good, and the witty dialogues have all that distinct Whedonic feeling. There aren't more than the first eight pages yet, but make sure you check them out.
You're welcome.

I just read the whole thing, and it was hilarious. I thought the artwork was atrocious, but the dialogue is phenomenal. I laughed out loud with many things (not the least of them the fact that Robot Phil wears jeans for some reason). Fuuuuuun!

I wasn't very sure on regarding what you were going to think about the art, but I kind of expected your bad reaction.
Anyway, Whedon's work is superb. Once again.

Hehehe. Yeah, the dialogue is great; the artwork, not so much. That means I'll be saving money if this is ever published in a hardcopy, because I won't buy it. But as long as it's free, I guess I can read it without paying too much attention to the pictures.

That reminds me... How about your X-Files revisitation? Have you devoured the most of it by now?

Don't even ask me how I've been reminded of it. :\

Last night I watched the first episode of the third season, so I'm not even close to being done with the show, hahaha.

Well, at least you behave. I usually have those DVD-devourer attacks when I can see something that I like a lot. I still remember those Angel-thons I used to have with my girlfriend, watching even 8 or 9 episodes in a row.

That's just WAY too much for me!
