Æther - Comic review |
I've been reading a couple of online comics recently.
One that really stands out from the crowd, is Æther.
Its
based in a world with a kind of magic. Its got a clever, and intricate,
plot with truly outstanding artwork. To give you can idea, on the right
is one of the panels from the comic's Prologue, very recently re-drawn
in colour. The character is called Pandora, the comics main
protagonist. But, I'll leave you to find out more about her on your
own.
The comic updates three times a week, Monday, Wednesday and Friday. There is also normally an update on the weekend, usually an extra "Reader Mail", in which characters from the comic answer questions from the readers.
The comic started out being
black and white, but switched to colour at the third chapter. As
mentioned before, the prologue has been re-drawn in colour.
The
artist, Naomi, has an unusual ability to make her comic come alive with
emotion: you can almost feel the emotions that the characters are going
through.
If you want to read the comic, and I really would recommend it if you like fantasy media, the site is http://www.aethercomics.com. Start with the Prologue, first page of which can be found here.
