Things I Recc'd This Weekend:
So, during Chicks Dig Comics, we chatted about webcomics. These were the three I mentioned -
Girls Next Door
In which "Sarah Williams from Labyrinth and Christine Daaé from The Phantom of the Opera - trying desperately to get on with ordinary lives, in spite of their respective stalkers-slash-suitors, glitter, unexpected crossovers, Random Black Chickens, meddling Powers of Fanservice, preternatural perverts, Sushi Incidents, Nanny Ogg, strange neighbours, thin-to-defunct Fourth Walls and oodles of Unresolved Sexual Tension."
Digger
"A wombat. A dead god. A very peculiar epic." Strong lead female who is an engineer and don't need none of this nonsense!
A Girl and Her Fed
A girl who suffers from a permanent LSD-induced vision of Ben Franklin's ghost - maybe - gets caught up in events when she discovers that she's been put on a terrorist watch-list and a nebulous government agency has an eye on her.
And two I should have recc'd but completely blanked -
Gunnerkrigg Court
Antimony "Annie" Carver is sent to school at Gunnerkrigg Court following the death of her mother. Before going to school, she lived with her bedridden mother in a hospital, where her father was a surgeon.
Annie has not heard from her father since being sent to the Court. The art is pretty painful for the first few chapters, but the artist quickly gets a feel for their personal style.
FreakAngels
"Twenty-three years ago, twelve strange children were born in England at exactly the same moment. Six years ago, the world ended. This is the story of what happens next."
Non-webcomics that I mentioned to people, during and after the panel, were The Red Star, Nextwave (see icon!), Vixen: Return of the Lion, NANA, Translucent, Madame Xanadu, and the Cassandra Cain-era Batgirl.
There were others - oodles of others, I am sure - but this is what I can recall off the top of my head. And so, clearly, I must link them here for posterity, and in the hopes of converting others to my evil ways.
