Send in your confessions.
Today we launched Pulp Secret Confessions, a limited series from 8Bit Brownies, better known as Casey McKinnon and Rudy Jahchan, creators of the awesome GALACTICAST, an online show every comics fan needs to be watching.
We put this little project together at SXSW 2007, as a fun way to help promote both of what we're doing, and it features a number of well-known videobloggers and people working in interactive media talking about comics. In Part One, we have a great group of people: Chuck Olsen, John Halcyon Styn, Marjorie Kase, Kenyatta Cheese, Charles Hope and Mike Hudack from Blip.tv, Make Magazine's Bre Pettis, Noodlescar's Lan Bui and Bonny Pierzina, Steve Woolf and Zadi Diaz, from JETSET, Julien Smith, Irina Slutsky from GETV, Ask a Ninja's Douglas Sarine, Veronica Belmont, Micki Krimmel, Steve Garfield, Maureen Hall, Tony Katz, Drew Olanoff, Robert Scoble, and Richard Hall.
But we're hoping this is just the beginning. Got something you need to say about comics? Your first book, your favorite book, the story that made the biggest impression on you? Is there a comic you just can't stand? A character who needs to die? Have any comments or criticism about what we've been doing here? We want to know what you're thinking. You can Submit a Video using the link above, and we'll run as many of we can here on the network. Or please leave some comments, send us an email, or tell us what you think on your blog.
We hope you like it -- and stay tuned for Part Two next week, same pulp-time, same pulp-network!

Oh, god...so many confessions, I don't know where to start...
The first comic I ever read was GI Joe # 23 (May 1984, I was 9) where the team travels to Switzerland and captures Cobra Commander. I remember being entirely enthralled with the comic (Thank you, Larry Hama!). I've since gone on to collect every issue and never been overtly disappointed. (Okay, the whole Joe/Transformer teamup and mass-killing of 2nd tier characters in #109 were pretty crappy, but the rest is gold.)
