This month's webcomic will be...




Authors:Yuko 'Aido' Ota aka dhioGenre:fantasyUpdate:SundaysAppearance:fully colored

Story:
In the five years that Singe has been living on her own now, her biggest problems had been paying the rent for her attic-turned-appartment. But when she meets a man in a bar that seems to know everything about her, her world was turned upside down.
This guy turns out to be an angel, banned to the mortal world and trying to find shelter. And he's not alone. Void, a sarcastic little dragonlike girl that smokes too much, apparently is told to watch over the newly fallen angel. Void explains some things about fallen angels and their accomplices they chose soon after they got to the mortal world, but seems to know more than she tells. Been chosen as such a accpomlice Singe seems to suddenly have two more roommates.


Cast: (copied and altered)

Singe (right) is just trying to get along and maybe figure out a way to tolerate her new housemates (Faustus and Void) in the process. Although she has many acquaintences, Singe has very few actual friends. Few people even know her real name.

Faustus (left) is the equivelant of a fallen angel. He did something that obviously irked somebody and got himself exiled to the physical realm for a few centuries. Unused to having physical form, everything is new for Faustus and it really shows through. But is he really as innocent as he acts?
...he's also started having dreams that may or may not be prophetic.


Void (right) seems to have some kind of beef with the world, and whatever it is, it's left her angry, bitter, and sarcastic. Usually, she'll snap at anything that moves, especially her 'ward,' Faustus, who she's been reluctantly keeping tabs on for a higher power. Despite her callous exterior, Void really does have a wee soft spot for her 'roommates,' and seems to have found a kindred spirit in Ronian, the sentient weapon. Oh, and she smokes like a fish.

And some other characters will be intodruced during the comic:






Worldsetting:

The backgrounds of the world dhio created is slowly revealed in the story of the comic here and there and I don't want to spoil here. So I'll write about the more obvious parts.
The comic is settled in a world very similar to our own but there are differences. The most obvious difference is that not only humans live in the cities. There are also many other humanoid livings in many forms. Tigers, Mice, Birds... or in short... lots of furries live together with humans on this world. And there is an explanation behind it! ;-)

My humble opinion:
I'm really glad that dhio found some time for her webcomic again! Fallen angels, furries, characters with dark and/or sad pasts... a combination that's just for me! And all this comes together with an exciting story and a wonderful artstyle. Although dhio doesn't like the first 20 pages I think the art is presentable all through.
