Broken Voices Prepares to Launch Webcomics Site
Submitted by Xaviar Xerexes on March 5, 2006 - 23:10
Broken Voice Comics, a new website created by the former Senior Editor of Midnite Comics, is being readied for an official launch at the end of March 2006. Midnite Comics itself has been shut down since the New Year when its forum was hacked. The rest of the Midnite Comics site crashed shortly thereafter and, sadly, due to the amount of recent build lost, it seems increasingly unlikely that the owners of Midnite Comics will be able to rebuild it.

Derek Kirk Kim's website Small Stories Online has changed its name to Lowbright.
I never liked "Small Stories" and really it was just a placeholder until I could think of something better. Also, smallstoriesonline.com is just too damn long, and everyone kept mistyping it as smallstories.com.
Lowbright is also the name of the continuing print series that he will start sometime this year. It will feature stories that are already available on the website, as well as a new story which first will be serialized online.
