Apparently DAZ was not giving me enough grief. First my mouse went on the fritz, and then ComicLife -- which hardly ever gives me trouble -- decided that the first panel was Evil Doom or at least way too memory-heavy. It took something like two hours to letter it, although admittedly I may have lost track of time in there somewhere, what with the fit of screaming rage and the rising urge to kill and all.

Anyway.

So the Spiderforest Comic of the Week thing is over, but I'd gotten quite used to recommending comics to y'all, and seeing as there's a couple I've been reading that haven't made it to the links page yet I thought I'd do some shout-outs. First, The Water Phoenix King. The only possible way to describe this comic is 'unique'. It has a very different art style, a remarkable (and fantastically complicated) storyline, a spectacularly weird setting, a lot of very intriguing characters, and a quirky -- and terrific -- sense of humor... and when you can say that about an epic fantasy (possibly the most overdone type of story out there), you're onto something. I spend a lot of time blinking at updates and going 'wait, WHAT?' If you're the sort who sees that as a positive, then this comic is for you.

Besides, it has war weasels.
