Well we had a topic about the other guys' fonts so I figured I'd check to see what everyone's favorite Blambot (http://www.blambot.com) fonts are?

I love Twelve Ton Goldfish (though I've made my own classic SFX font in the same style, based on the classic sfx fonts of Gaspar Salandino and Clem Robins).

I used the hell out of Creative Block on one book (Hero High... not yet published).

Creeping Evil, BlamBlam, you name em' and pound for pound Blambot (http://www.blambot.com) has to have the BEST selection of comicbook fonts available on the net.

Ok, I'm done being a shill... tell me what your favs are.

As a simple writer guy who likes to pretend I'm a letterer, I like Digital Strip and Evil Genius. I haven't really used any of their other ones as of yet.

Zooom is the only Blambot font I use on the regular basis although I use a lot of others here and there.

EDIT:
The Warmageddon logo is based on Armor Piercing 2.0 which is a blambot font

You wouldn't need to pay me Nate. What you've done for the comicbook community is amazing. The fact that you offer so many wonderful fonts for FREE is absolutely astonishing to me.

Everytime I create a font it feels like my child and I can't force myself to part with it, but here you are creating a new, FREE font every month! Not to mention the brilliant pay fonts you make.

Other sites might sell fonts for $20.00 once a year, but you offer nearly all of your pay fonts for that price ALL YEAR LONG.

Now, don't get me wrong, I love the other guys' fonts. Honest. I use several of them all the time, but Nate deserves a little recognition too.

thanks Nate. For everything.

Mouth Breather, 12 Ton Goldfish and Fishstick, Badaboom, and Shinobi. Feast of Flesh has been getting a lot of use lately.

I'm pretty devoted to Blambot's stuff and with the exception of my own use it for 95% of everything. that said, I tend to stick to the San Diego series, specifically SD2002 and SD2004. I also have a mad love for SUPER STRONG for my aspirations (it barely hedged out Mighty Zeo after years of using it) and BADABOOM is about as useful an SFX font as a guy can get...sadly, it's so over used now, people recognize it from other sites or comics...i don't like being trendy, so I really need to replace it.

Often overlookeded is ARMOR PIERCING which is a fantastic metal font...BANK! SKREEEE! What have you...worth the price!

Do I get to play too? :)

My favorite Dialogue fonts are ALTER EGO (Using it in X-MEN), BLAMBOT CLASSIC (Using it in HELLBOY ANIMATED) and The new one coming out for January, DUTY CALLS (USING IT IN SPIDER-MAN FAMILY).

For SFX, SUCKERPUNCH and BLOODYMURDER.

But my opinion changes with each month's new fonts. :)

Thanks again, guys.

My favorites are:

CreativeBlock (loud speech and sfx)
BadaBoom (sfx)
Feast of Flesh (sfx - modified to remove the holes)
Miskatonic (spell sfx in Spellbound # 1 -4)
CrimeFighter (credits)

Nate, thanks for the great fonts and for making them free. This letterer never would have gotten started if it wasn't for you.

i'll tell ya, that new one for January is going to make me a liar about my favorite fonts, it really is that good. I'm on too many dark books right now though, I need to get a cheery one to put it in!

Suckerpunch, eh? Hmmm...maybe I'll look to that as my new all purpose.

Yeah, suckerpunch looks like a good, classic-style SFX font. Plenty of room for manipulation and effects too. Nice one Nate.

For awhile, I was thoroughly addicted to one of the San Diego fonts. Looking at them now, I think it was 2002.

And everyone needs to have Armor Piercing 2.0. It's perfect for those sound effects.

Yes, 2002 is probably the one. It's still my primary.

AP2.0 is good, but for some reason I usually prefer the original AP when doing up my BANGS and such.
