Talmud Comics are usually updated for Wednesdays (Tuesday afternoon or evening), and use a variety of English translations, including the Soncino 1967, Artscroll, and personal translations. They are normally updated every week, but are only guaranteed to be updated every two weeks (my life is pretty hectic). They're non-halakhic - that is, obviously nobody should be reading them to get a sense of what Jewish law thinks about anything. I guess they're midrashic - stories and imaginings about the wonderful, fascinating people (and discussions) populating the Talmud.
They're also highly anachronistic. Not only is everybody dressed in a nebulously modern style, the relative ages of the rabbis are sometimes skewed beyond belief. Why? Because the Talmud itself provides this sort of magical space where people think and argue across time and geography; readers can see teachings come into conversation with each other although the teachers themselves may have lived in different eras. There is no before and after in Torah, after all. The comics tend to be set in an occupation era, the destruction of the Temple leaning in history forwards and backwards.
Disclaimer: It's been said before that this material is kind of wacky. It's true - Berachot is an unusually aggadic masechet, and its stories are sometimes a bit bizarre to the modern Western eye. But I think they have a lot of beauty and should be taken seriously, not dismissed. On the other hand, beginners should take care not to get a skewed sense of what the Talmud is like - as well as ghost stories and proverbs, it contains endless discussions on cow rental law, permissable material for Shabbat candles, what to do if you drop a keg you were guarding, etc.
About the Illustrator
Yonah Lavery lives in Jerusalem but comes from pretty much everywhere. After finishing about 70 or 80 pages of Berachot, she has several ideas: making a comic out of Jastrow's dictionary, more Talmud comics (Sanhedrin, y/y?), and her personal favourite, a mashup of stories from her childhood shul with a retelling of the Wise Men of Chelm.
You can read some more autobiographical things about her and Talmud here, here and here.
