Monster Pulse: so we know what the occasionally-mentioned "Project Chakra" was, and it doesn't seem as bad as Lulenski's reactions of general horror and disgust made it out to be... ...until you realize she was probably looking at what happened when you tried to use it without "safely knitting the tissue back together."

I love that there are some webcomics that live long enough that they have to rebrand themselves to move with the times. First El Goonish Shive has to contrive a video rental store into internet movie reviews, and now Between Failures is making one of its characters switch from wanting to make indie movies to becoming an LP superstar. And in other "Man this is too old" news, I gave Sluggy Freelance another check, and while Pete Abrams still says he's going to stop eventually, he may be grooming an heir.

Dr McNinja's kinda dark this week, huh. I hope this ends with another improbable explanation like all those children who somehow regrew their heads after they exploded, but probably not.

A.o.D. posted:Why doesn't the indie movie angle work anymore? Those are still totally a thing. It's just that these days you hear more about people coming from nowhere to become incredibly popular with youtube far more than you hear about the indy scene. It's probably also representative in the author's change of tastes as the comic wore on. nerdman42 posted:Everytime I think about EGS, I wonder why I'm still reading it and I still don't know the answer. It just keeps going and not in any particulary interesting direction God, man, I've still been reading it, but I'm not sure what's even going on at this point. I feel like Dan Shive is a fairly competent writer and artist, but he'd really do better if he wasn't bogged down by all this garbage dating back 14 years ago to when he was in high school and borrowing ideas from Bob and George. Some people really need to learn to kill their darlings.

Subject material aside, she does an impressive amount of work with just white or red lines on featureless black space.

Yeah, it's just really formally...wowie. And despite its apparent simplicity it's actually a very intricate story delivered with near-perfect concision.

I think I've seen this manga already. It's the one where the totally unremarkable average protagonist has to deal with a distant but intense authority figure. BravestOfTheLamps fucked around with this message at 23:50 on May 13, 2016 |

Really interested in how Vattu is going to turn out. Are they going to have an argument about colonialism? Is Vattu going to tell the painter about flying? Is she going to get an introduction to drugs? Can you even take unweight without a mouth?

Not sure if this is gonna be a long form comic or what, but Wild Wasp rolled across my tumblr dashboard and from what's up so far I'm already pretty much hooked . There's only a few pages up so far, but it seems promising.
