I thought this was a clever idea… Webcomic Hotness is a group of webcomic creators who appeared together at the Baltimore Comic-Con.

They created a simple free minicomic in which one of the characters went venturing through a variety of the strips. It didn’t always make sense, unless you already knew the characters and situations, but it was a giveaway that someone (like me) could take home and check out at their convenience.

I was already familiar with Girls with Slingshots, and I’ve previously recommended In His Likeness, but a couple that were new to me that stood out were Silver Rage (about a comic store where the employees are named Jason, Todd, and Robyn, which took me a minute, but then made me laugh), Noses Optional (cute manga stylings), and A Girl and Her Fed (about civil rights, which is certainly unusual and topical).

They’ll next be appearing at SPX from October 13-15.
