Online

I'm usually against posting about other sites. Why in the world would I want you to go somewhere else besides my blog?

But I've recently fell in love with a few online comics recently, and I just had to give them a bit of free, shameless advertising.

Cealdian by Anne Szalba

King Caedmon was assassinated, and the whole country thinks that December, the King's eldest son, killed him. But December is innocent, and terrified of leading a country that hates him. Haunted by a dark childhood, and trying to unravel the mysteries that surround him, December comes off as a gentle, cautious man harboring his own secrets. I love it because it's so intriguing, and the characters seem to leap off the page; and it's very Celtic-influenced.

ReMIND by Jason Brubaker

This has to be the funkiest, most wonderfully crazy thrill ride I've ever had. Sonja lives in a town whose only attraction is some 'Lizard Man' myth she doesn't believe. But then her cat, Victuals, goes missing near the lake. When he returns, he's talking. And what he has to tell is astounding. It's very original and with an excellent drawing style reminiscent of David Peterson's Mouse Guard.

The Bean by Travis Hanson

A boy called Bean was sold a long time ago by a father he no longer remembers. He doesn't know that he's special, meant for greatness. But soon an evil being kidnaps him, and forces him to do a dark purpose: fetching him a sword of great power. This is classic fantasy at it's most creative. I love how vivid the world and personalities are.

Red's Planet by Eddie Pittman

Red, a 10-year old girl, refuses to believe her parents are gone, though everybody else does. She keeps moving from foster home to foster home; and running away from them. Things go from bad to worse when she gets accidentaly abducted by aliens. And they just might be worse than her foster family. Red's personality stands out and is incredibly lovable. It's also so realistic. Until the aliens show up. Then it's just plain fun.
