A Month of Self-Published Comics: House of the Muses #1-3

This month I am posting a review of a different self-published comic book each day for the rest of the month! Here is an archive of the books reviewed so far!

Today I am featuring Pam Harrison’s House of the Muses #1-3.

Let me get something straight right off of the bat. I’m honestly not a fan of the 3-D art style that Pam Harrison uses for House of the Muses. I think it is a very impressive level of 3-D art, and it is remarkable that she is able to tell such a completely realized story with 3-D art and not have it look ridiculous. That’s to her great credit. She’s a whiz with 3-D art, it appears. That said, I just don’t think that even the best 3-D art has gotten to the point where I personally dig it. That’s just me. I am not saying that the art is BAD, by any means (heck, I think Harrison is probably one of the best 3-D comic book artists that I have seen), just that it does not appeal to me.

In addition, there are many times in this work where it seems apparent that this story originated as a prose work, as there are large chunks of text here and there. Almost early-Spawn levels of text.

I wish to get those things out of the way to start, because those are my only two critiques of Harrison’s work, which otherwise is a tremendously entertaining, polished work of art.

The gist of the story is that one of the poems in the collection of Sappho was inexplicably written in Spartan dialect. So Harrison thought, “Hey, there is probably a really fascinating story in there somewhere about a Spartan woman traveling to Lesbos.” And that, in effect, is what House of Muses is about, a Spartan woman named Dika and her journeys through life.

House of the Muses mixes action, romance and drama in a extremely mature fashion, while still managing to always keep the story not too difficult for a teen reader to grasp. It’s an extremely mainstream work, with a little bit of something in there for everyone.

It recently was awarded the fourth annual Queer Press Grant from Prism Comics. It is a well deserved honor, and I hope it may lead to even more distribution of this comic, which already looks extremely polished......

Comics Should Be Good! : A Month of Self-Published Comics

One Blog Leads to Another - Increasing Comic Visibility in a Fast-Paced World

I was up half the night last night with Frumph, Vertigo-X and some other webcomics pros as Frumph walked me through setting up the ComicPress site for my series. The guys at webcomicplanet had done a Twitter data collection survey asking people to tweet in their top 5 webcomics. Despite my series' popularity in Europe and the win in March 09 of the Prism Comics QPG Award, my comic was not even mentioned.
http://webcomicplanet.com/random/april-2009-twitter-data-gathering/

So yesterday Vertigo-X approached me about the possibility of setting up at webcomicplanet. Was not really thrilled about the idea of having another website to update; however, I do have House of the Muses pages through book 4 already prepared, and if it gets me new readers I'd be an idiot to say no.

So until the wee hours of the night, as my sweetie slept off dinner, Frumph held my hand and helped me set up this site:
http://houseofthemuses.webcomicplanet.com/

We'll be setting up the CSS for this page later today. I begged off at 3 a.m. and went to bed, but the fellas should be around to help me finish shortly.
Thanks to everyone who goes the extra mile to help me be a success.

When The Future Meets the Past

At the time of this writing, it's one of the busiest times in my life. I found it necessary to do a complete rebuild of my website; for one because it's been put together as a mish-mash of bits and pieces over the past five years, and two because things have grown to the point that I really need a complete and entertaining showcase of my work to date.

All the talk of the House of the Muses European Tour is still in the planning stages. Britta Madeleine Woitschig, who has been promoting on my behalf in Europe, gave me a few outlines of what I'd need on hand to make that work. I'll be setting up some videos here in the coming weeks to give everyone a behind-the-scenes look on how this series is put together. I hope you find it as entertaining as I enjoy putting the series out there for you to read.

Some feedback on that topic:

What about an exhibition (in 2010)? Do you got a concept about such an event? I think about an European tour by coordinating comic salons and other partners. Your grassroots globalization projects is a kind of role-model that should attract a lot of people, also outside the comics culture and the lesbian culture, because you write an all-audiences story.

Let me know more about your time schedule! According to that I will coordinate my activities in Germany and Europe to best support you.

Some minutes ago I wrote to Paul Gravett (http://paulgravett.com/), the most important comics journalist in the UK, who could push the original edition!

The big convention in Germany is biannually, and the next one is in 2010 in Erlangen, Bavaria. But there are more in the Benelux (Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg) and France, there are also ones in Italy, Spain and Poland. I can support you as your agent: I look out for the time schedule and will build up the contact like I have done with the translators. Don't worry, we are on our way: step by step walking on and on.

Best,
Britta Madeleine
