The Valentine Chronicles
• Cartoons, Dammit! is pleased to welcome The Valentine Chronicles and
its crew to the line-up! In keeping with our shared vision of bringing
you quality writing and art, we know you'll thoroughly enjoy following
the plight Tatiana and Katrina Valentine through a series of stories
and illustrations! Log onto uStream on Wednesday, August 27th at 9:30AM to watch and discuss a series of marathon comic inking with the creator of Fantasia Arks: The Phasmatis Crisis as he recreates the first two chapters of the story tirelessly!
To paraphrase Dave Reynolds, artist of ShadowGirls on the amount of work being done: "I do about 110 full color pages a year, but doing 200 black and white, graytoned in a matter of months...is just borderline "You've looked at Cthulhu."

SITE WORTH CHECKING OUT
This is one of the best Batman/Superman sites on its net...what makes
it different is that it's the OFFICIAL site, which is odd seeing how
official sites for shows usually suck. This sites offers background info
on characters (greatly needed to understand a lot of the newer episodes,
esp "The Demon Within"), plus schedules, games and much more. The layout
is superb and real easy to maneuver but you'll need an updated browser to
get a lot of the special extras on the site
BATMAN/SUPERMAN ADVENTURES:THE OFFICIAL SITE
http://www.batman-superman.com
BRIAN'S BATMAN PAGE
This site has undergone a huge and recent revamp for the better. The
new layouts are amazing and the links are much clearer than before (and
they were excellent before!). The animation section is better then ever
and if you're a person who only likes to look at the new stuff then
check out the UPDATES section. It gives the info on all the recent
updates on the site. The revamp keeps it original feel but adds stuff
aplenty!
The URL is in the BATMAN/SUPERMAN website section.

These are some of the best BTAS sites on the web at this
time. Most sites are updated or have been recently and all are up and
running.
If you've watched Batman on WB there's a fair chance you've watched
Superman as well. This show has picked up 40% more viewers this past
season thanx to Batman. This series is one of the most underrated shows
on TV because it's stuck under Batman's (pun intended) shadow. There's
one website that treats it as its own show and its a damn good website!
I recommend all who have seen this show to check out this site:
