I think I said before, you know back in my first web comic love<\/a>, that I would follow up with more as I had time to read more of the ones I had bookmarked that looked as if they were really smashing. \u00a0 Well, I’ve had a little time and they were really smashing.\u00a0 Here’s some more of the maybe-you-haven’t-found-these-yourself type of comics, that I’m only doing you a good turn by telling you about them–so that you’ve heard of them now.<\/p>\n

Friends with Boys<\/a> — Ok, so I was reading this and it was wonderful with a bit of quirky and I was really interested to see where it was going but it wasn’t there yet.\u00a0 Then, I go back to it (’cause it’s taking me a really long time to write this post) and it has a massive amount of new pages and now I cannot wait another second for the next page!\u00a0 Oh, and the drawing style is absolutely beautiful!<\/p>\n

Todd Allison and Petunia Violet<\/a> — The style is fresh, endearing, and colorful.\u00a0 I like how it just jumps into the everyday life just before the intrigue explodes and takes you along with it.\u00a0 The characters are explained as the action progresses; yes, a great way to hook a reader.\u00a0 I am hooked!<\/p>\n

Sfeer Theory<\/a> — Really gorgeous and polished.\u00a0 I don’t know about you, but I often find it hard to get into a story that is also building a completely different world with hierarchies and vocabulary.\u00a0 I mean, it’s a hard thing to do–take a story completely out of reality as we know it and not belabor the process.\u00a0 Well, I am completely intrigued in this world, and really want to see where it’s going.<\/p>\n

Fishbones<\/a> — Nice style!\u00a0 Good story set up…surprised and liked the flash-back pages.\u00a0 Yes.\u00a0 Page 52, introduce new character as liking Giallo films, do I need any other reason to like this comic?\u00a0 (and yes, I owe all my knowledge of Giallos to Richard and doomedmoviethon<\/a>, but you’ve been there, right?\u00a0 trying to explain something to someone and having to give a history lesson just to get to your original point.\u00a0 It’s nice to find people who just know.)<\/p>\n

Dresden Codak<\/a> — Oh it’s so pretty.\u00a0 And though I am still confusingly wrapped up in story lines and another world (like I said–hard to do right), I am still eyes-glued-to-screen on every single page.\u00a0 This is a comic that somehow creates a fabulous, complicated, touchable group of characters with a few words and drawn expressions.<\/p>\n

Octopus Pie<\/a> — is about two women living in Brooklyn.\u00a0 From the description, I have to admit, I didn’t really think it would appeal to me, but I had hopped to it from another comic that I already liked who liked it and then I couldn’t stop reading.\u00a0 I.\u00a0 Couldn’t.\u00a0 Stop.<\/p>\n

The Meek<\/a> — This is another some-other-world one that starts out all wild girl in the woods and ends up genie in a bottle who is going to take over your soul and end the world.\u00a0 After it hurts people that is.\u00a0 No, not horror.\u00a0 Definitely fantastical and earthy at the same time.<\/p>\n

2D Goggles or the Thrilling Adventures of Lovelace and Babbage<\/a> — Did anyone else have to take History of Computers in school?\u00a0 Is this dating me?\u00a0 I came from the time when schools realized that computers were the coming thing but they were still new enough to need a full introduction to ignorant children.\u00a0 The point being, I had to study Charles Babbage and his Analytical Machine.\u00a0 I never thought I’d be using my learning to read comics one day.<\/p>\n

Badirfilay<\/a> — So pretty and weathered and gloomy and really just starting up.\u00a0 Even so, it’s been picked up my Manga Magazine.\u00a0 I”m excited to see where it’s going.\u00a0 I love the secret underbelly of society thing.\u00a0 Or, is it the secret controlling force of society thing?<\/p>\n

Johnny Wander<\/a> — What can I say… I am not the first to stumble upon this comic, think it was pretty spiffy and then promptly fall in love with all the characters.\u00a0 I have feelings of the stalker in me:\u00a0 I want to meet them and shower adoration upon them…only I’d freeze up and not be able to say anything ’cause that’s how I am.\u00a0 The rapper Adam WarRock<\/a> mentioned in his forward to volume 2 that the comic felt like home when you were home sick.\u00a0 I’d have to agree.<\/p>\n

Band Vs Band<\/a> –Did you know I got a box set of Jem and the Holograms for Christmas.\u00a0 Band vs. Band by Kathleen takes all the best parts of cartoon bands and makes them gorgeous!\u00a0 I love the magazine covers and the band interviews.<\/p>\n

Bucko<\/a> — by Jeff Parker and Erica Moen, billed as a comical murder-mystery.\u00a0 Not sure where this is going but it is fantastic so far with a host of unique characters that split the action without managing to make it confusing at all.\u00a0 It makes me think of Canada, but I have never been there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
