Comic Corner - Brewster Rockit: Space Guy

 Comic Corner - Brewster Rockit : Space Guy You wouldn't believe the devil of a time I had finding a comic to review this month. There are rivers of shit out there and a serious lack of waders. Sure, I have plenty of favorites that I read but many of them are already ridiculously popular like Something Positive or xkcd. And I'm really trying to avoid doing reviews of bad or over-rated comics. Consequently, it's hard to type a scintillating review with my hands tied so. This month, I'm going to review the best comic that I don't want you to read. I'm going to tell you how fun it is – but you'd better not go! I mean it. After I'm done, I do not want you to click on the handy link that I've provided. The comic is Brewster Rockit: Space Guy! The premise is simple. Brewster is the Captain of the space station R. U. Sirius. He and his crew are humanity's first defense against space aliens and all manner of extra-terrestrial threats. The biggest problem is that he's as dumb as he is confident. Yet, somehow it all works out in the end. The strips are usually straightforward three panel comics with clean, black & white art. They also occasionally do color and longer comics too. Brewster is syndicated so the humor is clean. But unlike so many other syndicated comics, it's actually funny more often than not. Which means it will probably lose its syndication deal sooner or later. They do story arcs but you can really pick this comic up at any time. Ok, so the comic is funny and it looks good… why wouldn't I want you to read it? Because it's hosted by a site called Gocomics.com. Not since the earliest days of the world wide web have I seen a site so ridiculously shameless as they are. They use pop-ups. They use graphic ads. They try to hijack you as you go through the site. They want you to sign up to go anywhere or do anything. In short, it's the most unpleasant online experience you can have and I would love to boycott the site until it shrivels up and dies a twitchy death. I would have kept this comic to myself if I wasn't empty-handed and pushing yet another deadline. Nevertheless, if you feel you must disobey my edict, the main site is here. And a few fun sample comics are funny word, vote for me, I love the mad scientist guy. That's all for me this month.
