Online Comics

In Norway comics were a lot more comon than in the UK, you could buy magazines such as Agent X9, Donald and Fantomet in your daily groserey staw. No matter what house hold you went to you would be guaranteed to find a comic. But when I came over Sand Man, Preacher, Hell Blazer, Transmetropolitan etc it was like entering the adult world. These were comics that avoided the expected and pushed boundaries.

We are in the age were everything is going online and everyone can publish their work, creating a flood of online comics with varying quality that are available to you. I think this is a good thing, even though it creates a jungle that is barley possible to navigate. To help you on your way to find the gems I wish to present to you six of my finds.

First of is Overgrowth created by Wolfire Games, a independent gaming company. Overgrowth features humanoid animals in a gritty world of violence.

Then we have One swoop Fell, also with humanoid animals, but this time they are sweet and cuddly, however very well written and illustrated.

Aardehn plays well with the good old fantasy genre. We follow a innocent(ish) girl who has a demon inside her. But my favorite character so far is the half beauty half monster Lady Skar.

The devil is always a fun character to play with especially his offspring. In Hell Hotel Satans spawn is the manger of a hotel and in Underling he is a 13 year old boy who messed up the apocalypse.

Last but not least their is Maya, we don't know much about this one yet, since it is pretty new. However the drawing is superb and the prologue is highly enticing.

That was the six, however I have previously mentioned www.nyc2123.com and www.gamer9.net, who are also worth a look.
