Comics ahoy!

[elliejane]

I'm not much into comics, either online or hardcopy, but I think some of you guys are? (Meg/Matt/Liz, maybe? Sorry, I don't have a reliable memory, so forgive me if I'm way off base!).

A chap came and posted this on Kansas. It's basically an online beautifully rendered colour comic - looks *exactly* as if it was drawn for print - which is labelled a space opera. It has cool aliens, space ships, gun fights etc etc. The characters are all original, though the chap says he was influenced a bit by the feel/humour/whatever of Farscape. It is NOT Farscape but I can see where he is coming from on this. It has grreat touches of humour that remind me of FS.

I'm not sure how long it's been up and running, but there are two chapters of roughly 16 pages each. I think the idea is that they get up dated whenever a new one is finished. And they look incredibly detailed to me. I don't have much to compare them against, (not being a comics gal) but hey, I was impressed!

So, here's the link in case anyone is interested in what I've just waffled on about (oh, it's official name is Wayfinder):

No, you're right about who reads comincs. Sam and Dans also do, and Adam does part-time (if it's possible to read comics part-time). Am not really sure about anyone else.

I will certainly check out the link, but not now, as it's five past midnight and I have to be up early for college tomorrow.

The only comics of the genre sort that I have read, are the Farscape War Torn ones. I couldn't work out if I liked them or not - because a lot of the drawing you could see was sourced from promo shots/from the show. At least that's how it looked to me, I could have been wrong.

I mean I could never have done that kind of work, so I was just generally impressed, but when I kept recognising poses, it took some of the shine off it.

Hey, Meg, glad you seem to be enjoying college :)

Wayfinder has original characters and a way of story telling that, even though there is only the two chapters so far, I was impressed without any reservations!

Glad you liked it :). I'm on dial up, but it didn't take that long to load, and it was worth it anyways. I've book marked it to check back from time to time. :)
