Three Super Online Comics You Should Read
Jan. 3rd, 2013 03:35 pmNimona by gingerhaze. If you haven't heard of gingerhaze, I don't know what rock you've been living under. This comic combines her cute art with a story about a supervillain who's not so villainous, really, and his shapeshifting sidekick Nimona.
Strong Female Protagonist by Brennan Lee Mulligan and Molly Ostertag. Allison is a super-strong nineteen year old college student who quit her superhero team when she started having doubts about whether punching people solves anything. Like most of the good modern superhero narratives, this is a story that questions the concept of costumed vigilantes.
FreakAngels by Warren Ellis, illustrated by Paul Duffield. You may have heard of these guys. Warren Ellis is the writer of a number of published comics, including Transmetropolitan. FreakAngels is a complete, 144-episode story about a group of superpowered young adults in post-apocalyptic London. Rather than being a story about superheroes per se, this one is more about superpowers, especially their telepathy and mind control powers, and how the group self-organizes and tries and fails to police themselves. The story has a large cast of characters who are all well-drawn. And the art is gorgeous, especially the large landscapes and scenery of drowned Whitechapel.
