For some reason, Tumblr seems to have just republished its RSS feeds or something, and now I'm getting a whole bunch of 'new' postings that are repeats of years-old posts from dead comics and tumblrs. Anders Loves Maria, EmmyC, Burgertown, Hark! A Vagrant, Terrible Terrible Terrible, Scott Meets Family Circus...

So many dead.

Wow, rude, boom. I mean, you were nice and all, but you didn't have to go and dump Lucy so unceremoniously.

Never Satisfied is great, and I found it because of this thread, so thanks all. Because of this thread I also found Wilde Life and Unsounded and finally read Paranatural. All also great, though I have mixed feelings about Unsounded. That is a story that is altogether much too interested in putting children in peril.

O Human Star: the latest comic makes it even more clear what Al's issues are all about, and yet there's someone in the comments who is trying desperately to find an answer that isn't "Al is trans" :laugh:

I haven't read any of O Human Star before beyond maybe one guest comic. Is it good, should I be reading it?

Yes, and yes. It is very good and everyone should read it. It's also relatively short (about 450 pages total), so you should be able to binge it in a day or two if you so wish.

e. also, it should be ending soon. The author posted (on Twitter? I forget) "Welcome to O Human Star's final year" at the beginning of 2019.

imo asoiaf has its problems but Unsounded has a lot of work to do to match its heights of quality intrigue. I'm not sure I would even qualify Unsounded as intrigue fantasy. asoiaf definitely is though.

Unsounded is full of intrigue, I'd even say more so than Game of Thrones. But it doesn't involve the main characters (except as pawns) and is largely not presented very clearly.

There is intrigue, but it's not really about it? Or at least not until relatively recently. Not compared to the thing that advertises intrigue in the title and heavily features the plotters.

i feel the comic after the deadly nevergreen is a lot more representative of what the full concept of the comic is than the part of the comic before where its doing a lot of semi-subtle setting grounding

Let's do the space-time warp again!

It updated two weeks ago, I think? Earlier this month at least. Unless there is another reason for removing it that I don't know?

I mean it is absolutely glacial, the previous update was in February so even with the ~10 frame updates it isn't going anywhere soon, but the art is still great.

Well, uh, apparently I am out of the loop on a lot of stuff. :stare: A lot of webcomic communities are pretty bad so I mostly just RSS things and pay no more attention, guess I need to rethink that approach.

she was selling "aged up" erotica of her characters on the side, which led to a minor shitstorm that had her surreptitiously trying to doxx the people who called her out on it. it was a mess all around

though even if you discount the drama, ava's demon has problems. it moved at a pace that's glacial even for webcomics, the one panel/page thing does it no favors and the cast is uniformly repellent to a crazy degree

Boss, if they make us find seven lost crystals, I'm quitting.

I wonder if this latest arc is signaling the end of QC. Most of the main cast at this point right now seem to be at some sort of big life-changing event, add some closure to some of the side-arcs and minor characters and it'd be a good spot to end things on.

give Jeph time I'm sure he can introduce like 5 more quirky characters to shift focus on to without actually ending the comic until they bore him and enter character limbo work at the coffeeshop. This is the cycle of QC.

Was that part about her putting up a bounty for information on the people calling her out only for someone to slip her fake info and the use the money ($500 I think it was) to buy a really expensive Dio figurine true?

Cause that poo poo’s hilarious if it is.
