Thrillbent is a digital comic site and the brainchild of writer Mark Waid. The website has only been around for two months but if you are a fan of comics you should keep an eye on this site. As it stands there is one twelve panel comic published every week on Wednesdays called Insufferable which is a comic about a sidekick that grows up to be a total douchebag. The writing, pencils, and ink are all high quality and free to boot (even free of adds).
Reading the sites blog it is easily seen that this is a labor of love for all involved. Waid and company are very transparent about the process of exploring new techniques that take advantage of the digital format. For instance this weeks blog post talks about the layering technique utilized in the comic. The comics feel like they are on the cusp of a new format and by being transparent about the process they are inviting their peers in the comic industry to give it a shot.
