So about a month ago a friend and I started to plan this comic. I won't give too much away, but I will tell you that it's going to be a long term sort of thing (i.e we have about 3 or 4 issues in the works right now).
The first issue is being inked right now, and we hope to release the first issue sometime this april.
This comic will be a little different from what I typically do in a couple of respects:
Firstly, my friend Andrew is writing the comic. That's not to say I have no control over the storyline per se, but rather that he will be in charge of the bigger writing portions of the comic. In the same respect, he will have a say in the art production. This is, then, a completely collaborative effort. Neat.
Secondly, this will not be distributed in a single medium. While currently we have every intention of distributing the comic for free online, we also intend to sell printed copies of each issue (and, supposing it lasts long enough, each volume). The first issue will be for sale as soon as it is up, and it will be going for $3.50 CDN. (unless the printing place changes it's prices).
Anyway, I need to get back to inking, so just keep yon eyes open, and soon enough the first issue will be complete.
Also, depending on how many we have finished, and how well the comic is recieved, we may be renting a booth at the 2008 Canadian Fan Expo this august. The booth will cost us about $200 to rent, and god knows how much to print comics, so let's hope we get this thing going.
Ja Ne.

Keith, if you're anything like the letter Y then you intentially make words and people feel awkward.
My brother has started nearly a dozen comics. But they're usually all the same.
Hopefully yours will be creative and funny. What's it about?
I dig the new layout. Putting it in the same style as your art site was definitely a good idea.
Can't wait to read the first issue. Seriously, fag, I better be one of the first to see it! It is, as you say, "A New Ownicon Comic", right?
@ Salem
Yeah, sometimes I stand around at the mall yelling historical facts at consonants.
I don't want to give too much about the story away before it's released, but I can tell you that it involves time travel.
@Zack
Well, I intend to post it on the ownicon forums a couple days before it goes up officially, so yes, you will see it first.
Hahaha...sporadically updated...at least you're honest.
That's really cool that you wanna print your comics and everything. You sound very motivated and you should stay that way and it'll probably turn out a lot more awesome than it's already sounding.
