Webcomics

Two webcomics I've been enjoying, and inspired to post about after finding the second today:

Shades of Gray -- note that the current comic has some fairly major spoilers; link goes to the first page of the archives.

Coming-of-age and light adventure story set on a military training base. Ten is a young kilm (a desert-dwelling alien species) training to be a fighter pilot. The worldbuilding is extensive and well done; definitely read the about page. The art gets rapidly better after the first few dozen strips. In addition to the fun worldbuilding, Shades of Grey gets major bonus points for excellent queer characters and interesting treatment of disability, mental illness, and religion (or...something...I have no idea how to characterize the current plot arc).

Age of Clay (I didn't realize until just now that the two titles rhyme :-b )

Fantasy? Ish? It reminds me very strongly of Gunnerkrigg Court for some reason, but considerably wilder. Almost Dali-esque art, but...cute? It is pretty and difficult to describe and people should read it.
