A Comic Recommendation-
Well I was on google looking up something we had discussed in Goth Lit class (which looks like it shall be very very awesome) and didn't find what I was looking for. Instead I ran across this comic.
Death and the Maiden
It's apparently a german webcomic that has been translated into English.
The main characters are, naturally, The Grim Reaper and a young woman who has cheated him for a while. But Death is sticking around with every intent to change her luck. Hijinks and banter ensues.
It starts off as a gag comic then turns into a much more structured story later. Allegorical figures pop up here and there and some stick around, such as 'Little Death' (who has little to do with shuffling off this mortal coil and alot to do with *wink wink nudge nudge* and affairs of that sort).
The art is well done, slightly too cartoony for my taste but still well done. Though the Maiden looks a wee bit too much like Crimson for my comfort. Story of my life.
Anyways, if you have a few hours to kill, give this a shot. I's good complete story with an actual beginning and end. There is a sequel going on of some sort, though my knowledge of German is derived from the occasional goth metal band. So unless they talk about anything that was teh subject of a Rammstein song, I'm pretty much clueless.
God only knows why I bother typing this out when I know one will read this. Furture reference when I get my webpage updated perhaps? Ah well. If anyone reads this in the land of the future, this is a good comic.
