Google Chrome

I just love that Google announced it’s new browser, Chrome, with a 38 page comic book. The comic book is drawn by Scott McCloud. McCloud is probably best known as the creator of Zot!, a manga influenced 1980s comic book series based on a teenage hero from an alternate Earth.

I’ve seen some criticism about the Google comic book, calling too childish for such an announcement. Personally, I think it was an cleaver way to catch even more attention regarding the upcoming release. After all, the open source browser has been all over the web today. Chrome is based on WebKit, the same open source engine as Safari, but I’ll hold off on my opinion of the browser itself until I can download a beta version.
