Title: Web-Comics
j-chan - February 2, 2006 07:07 PM (GMT)
I got this idea from the "sport games" post.
What are your favorite web comics? What are they about and why should people read them?
As for me, my favorite is above all Schism. And, because Leigh Bader explains it better than I can hope, I'll take the description straight from the information part of the site.

| Imagine the world as it is today, and fast forward it twenty years, fifty years, maybe more.. Already everything is becoming increasingly dependant on the internet and computers as a mean of comminucating and storing vital information. Every day it grows larger and larger. And more and more out of control. The world is almost completely reliant on the vast network of computers for performing almost any trival task. This extreme dependance and the incredible size of the network is the cause and solution to all problems of society. Police, the govenrment, and companies are constantly involved in electronic warfare as a new breed of terrorism, i.e. hackers attempting to sabotage network programs or breaking into databases and so on and so forth. The situation seemed to be spiraling more and more out of control, until The Schism occurs. A catastropic seperation in which nearly the entire network is erradicated within a span of five hours, plunging the world's already slipping stability into complete chaos. Nearly all vital records are lost, and all internet reliant systems go down, many which were the sole means of keeping power generators, water supplies, and factories in check and functioning properly. With the elimination of the network, entire countries were effectively placed back into the dark ages. Many malfuctions resulted in explosions and disasters from the network failure, in which many lives were lost. The world must start over from near-scratch, trying as best they can to rebuild society from what little information remained in the form of books and other written material. Ten years after the Schism, and humanity still does not know what caused the sudden distaser. Bits and pieces of information had slowly been gathered in the years afterwards, and the only evidence gathered points to a man by the name of Shikai Hitasura, who was the age of fifteen at the time of the Schism. No one understands how a young teenager could have single-handedly destroyed the network, and no one has yet been able to positively idenitfy or locate him in the chaos. He may be the only one who is able to explain the events that led to the Schism, and everyone is looking for him. If he exisits, or survived at all. |

The reason you should read it? Hell, its totally awesome! The characters are well designed. The drawing style steady gets better time after time and the plot line is solid. There's an LJ for it (schismatical) where Leigh tells of updates (every Monday, unless there's irl problems). She goes to a lot of cons in her area AND she sells a lot of artwork!
Some of my collection is:
Poster - Jiko+Shikai
Hoodie and Postcard - Shikai
Postcard - Jiko
Postcard - Kitoku (note: first image on the page)
Postcard - Quay (note: evil guy)

The creator of VGcats was at Auchinawa, I have to say he's not very attractive^^; lol
I didn't speak to him actually, i'm still against that comic since the strip where the insurance salesman killed the baby. I thought that was so totally sick and i wrote him an email telling him that. Had i spoken to him at the con i would have probably got thrown out. lol
