Planet Karen Benefit Auction goes live — signed Greg Pak trades included

Posted on by

From the official announcement from GirlWonder.org:

PLANET KAREN BENEFIT AUCTION
In mid February, Karen Ellis, the creator of popular diary webcomic Planet Karen, was made homeless and nearly possessionless by a fire in the apartment above hers, which resulted in the tragic death of the occupant.
The comics community rallied, and thanks to generous donations of money and equipment, Karen was able to replace some of her art supplies and find a new place to live. Her gratitude and determination are recorded on Planet Karen, but she is still unable to replace many of her possessions.
Girl-Wonder.org is delighted to announce a fundraising auction for Karen, thanks to the generous donations of the comics community. The auction runs until 30th March, and includes items as diverse as an “incredibly wordy” Wonderella giftset, handbags, jewellery, an original Phil Noto Black Widow Sketch, and the original artwork of this post-fire Planet Karen strip.

The auction includes five signed trade paperbacks written by Greg Pak. Click on the links below to bid!

Comixtreme loves “Incredible Hercules” #126

Posted on by

Adam Chapman has posted a rave review of “Incredible Hercules” #126 at Comixtreme.com. Here’s an excerpt:

The story with Cho was fantastic, it was a great character piece for both characters involved, and very revealing. It’s hard not to feel sorry for [Amadeus] Cho, given his life, and all the losses he’s put up with, and had to deal with. Sure, some of the things he’s done haven’t been right, he’s acted like a jerk sometimes, and had an ego that’s larger than some cars, but at his core, he’s a little boy who misses his pet coyote, more than he would ever admit, and wants nothing more than to be reunited with Kirby. The story is an interesting look at friendship, the give and take required, when to let go, when to hold on, and what friendship is.
