New Webcomics of the Week!

aVersion #6  (1/23/17)

Novae ( @novae-comic) (Site) (Comic Rocket)

Created by KaiJu

Summary: It is 17th century France, the age of discovery and scientific revolution. Sulvain, a mysterious traveler, is absorbed in the Parisian acedemic scene. Through his friendship with the renowned Christiaan Huygens, Sulvain has the chance to study the latest discoveries of the distant cosmos. Deep in the library of Academy of Sciences, however, our traveler will meet Huygen’s apprentice-- Raziol Quamar-- who will truly spark new lights in Sulvain’s universe. But as the two grow closer, trouble brews in the city.

Librarian’s Commentary:

The little details in the art are really cool! I love how things like Sullivan's Cape, buttons, and even the books have a little bit of detail that makes the style really stand out!

I love that the main characters study Astronomy! It’s such an interesting subject that I don’t usually see in comics.

It’s also historical fiction. Always a fun time watching to see all the little things we know of the time period show in someone writing. I’ll be happy watch!

This is also a romantic fiction piece. I’m exited to see how romance blooms between characters and how it’s handled in the historical context!

The Blue Valkyrie ( @bluevalkyriecomic) (Tapastic) (Comic Rocket)

Written By Emily Riesbeck ( @emilyriesbeck) (Patreon) and Art by David John Mitchell (Site)

Summary: Chloe Ritter was your ordinary queer, trans woman in Cream City. But when she suffers a traumatic experience at the hands of an old acquaintance, she discovers she has extraordinary abilities. With the help of her girlfriend, she dons a mask and begins protecting Cream City as The Blue Valkyrie. But it’s not easy to be a superhero: when community activists and ruthless businessmen go head to head, Chloe will have to discover what kind of hero the world truly needs.

Librarian’s Commentary:

I love how confident Chloe is in who she is as a person. From being trans to having super powers, she unashamedly herself and I feel like it’s really something inspiring and heart warming to see!

I live for relationships with great communication and support. Something about that is so comforting and inspiring to see.

She and her girlfriend met in therapy!!! they’ve both been in therapy!! This fact makes me so happy!!

I am honestly so surprised I haven't heard of this comic sooner?? It has so many great things going for it and I’m thrilled to now have it in my library and I hope other people will read and fall in love with it like I have!

2 Slices ( @2-slices-comic) (Tapastic)

Created by Mouse ( @firehouselight)

Summary: This rom-com asks the big questions- like what would happen if two slice of life stories were happening at the same school?

Librarian’s Commentary:

I love the idea of taking 2 classic slice of life plot tropes and having them clash together! It’s a fun twist while also being very original.

Mamo and Daisuke’s interactions are golden. They’re both so different but also kind of have the same stubbornness and backbone. Also they have greatest case of mistaken identity I have ever seen.

I also give a shot out to Tuskino cause she’s one of the few plus sized love interests I’ve seen and she’s absolutely adorable!

The faces and body movents in this comic are so expressive! It’s not extremely exaggerated, but they’re still funny and show such a wide range of emotion!

Heartless ( @heartless-webcomic) 

Created by Emily Griggs (Site)

Summary:  It’s 1852, and Clara Adams has had her future planned out for her: find and marry a proper young man, then settle in for a life of quiet obedience and domestic bliss. She’s resigned to her fate, until a bout of curiosity leads to her untimely murder, and resurrection, at the hands of monsters that she’d never dreamed might be more than fictional. Death brings Clara unexpected freedom, along with new dangers and the sudden weight of responsibility. Thrust into unlife with no way back, Clara has to learn quickly, for her unique gift might tip the scales in the secret war against her murderer for control of all London!

Librarian’s Commentary:

Heck yeah Ace/Aro protagonist where their orientation serves a purpose in the story!

I’m not too big on the idea of a heirarchy determined by who you are and are not attracted to, but I do give points for a very creative idea. I’m really hoping the hierarchy gets completely smashed to bits by the end

Watching Clara try to learn how to essentially flirt is both funny and relatable.

Also I love the outfit designs! they’re all so pretty and the colors always compliment the character’s so well!

Dragondove  ( @dragondove) (Site) (Comic Rocket)

Created by Les Valiant ( @barbalarga) (Patreon)

Summary: Dragondove is not about destiny or gun fights, but choices and mistakes, and the struggle of determining the right roads to take. Dragons wander the wasteland, seeking the souls of sinners, or so they say. A girl called Lucky doesn’t believe that’s the whole story, so she skips town, looking to wrangle herself some adventure, mystery, and a dragon of her own.This fantasy-western comic explores mystical creatures, exotic landscapes, and magical artifacts while maintaining an action-adventure theme. Focusing primarily on LGBTQ characters, Dragondove aims to engage the tried and true fantasy tropes without all the usual baggage.

Librarian’s Commentary:

Western themed comic about dragons???? Sign me up!

I love all the in depth explaining of the world building and lore. It’s one of my favorite things in comics to learn more about the context of the world the characters live in!

I love how the characters grow and develop and yet I am still left with so many questions that lead to me watching for every update to learn more.

Tigertale is such a badass person??? they’re so cool and mysterious. I can’t wait to learn more about them as a character. Hoping to get some more backstory!

Satan and his little dove Paloma

[maddiearts2307]

Satan and Paloma's children (So far)

Erebus:

His eyes are the same as his mother's

He is the sin of Darkness/Shadows

His name originates from Greek mythology, where Erebus is the primordial god of darkness, existing in a hovering, ghost-like state

A mama's boy

Winged ears like his mother

More calm and collected than his father

Hides his emotions more to keep others on their toes

Niamh:

White scales, resembling her mother's white hair and wings

Since the female imp's horns are black, considering Satan is the one who created them, Niamh's horns would be that color, aside from her brother's

Winged ears like her mother

Her name originates from Irish mythology, the goddess of the sea, fate, and death, the Golden-haired Queen of Tir-nan-Og, "Land of Youth" or "Isle of the Blessed"

She is the sin of Chaos

More outgoing than her brother

Cares about her family

Erebus and Niamh are the first born children and are both twins

I have an epiphany

[eljackinton]

Today's #smallvember entry features Primrose from @lessvaliant   's Dragondove, a comic about Dragons, wranglers and nefarious conspiracies. There isn't anything quite like it out there. I'm hoping we see more of it in print some day because I'm desperate to have it on my bookshelf.

[thatonecomicguy]

Dragondove is a story a young woman named Lucky and her journey to become a dragon wrangler. The only issue with that is the fact that it is considered blasphemous to even try to attempt to stand up to dragons, let alone tame one. We watch as she gains new friends, uncovers secrets, and slowly uncovers some kind of truth behind dragons. 

I’ve never been a fan of classic westerns, you know the old ones? What I have been a huge fan of are westerns with a sort of fantastical twist to them. The old west filled with magic or mythical creatures is right up my alley and this fills that space amazingly. 

I love how the story seems to have this theme of blindly following and the trouble that can lead to. The entire world is under the impression that any time a dragon attacks anyone who died was deserving as a “sinner”. I have only gotten to chapter 7 so far so I’m not entirely sure of that myself but I can say something is fishy about this whole thing. It’s a good mystery that needs some sleuthing, and boy am I enjoying it. Not only that but the lore of the world is just fascinating itself, so much so that I could probably read a history book on the subject by itself.

Each character isn’t a single note fiddle either, they all have their own drama and character arcs that flow rather beautifully and intertwine with one another harmoniously. Lucky as well as all of her new companions just have such life in them that it’s always enjoyable to see them interact.

The art style has this sort of sketchy kind of feel to it giving it that rough look I love so much. You can see this in the outlines of the characters sometimes, while also in the details of the backgrounds. If anything, the backgrounds feel more painted than drawn and I couldn’t be happier with them. The one nitpick I can think of from reading this story is that the action can sometimes feel a bit stiff, at least in the early chapters. Sometimes when a dragon or person is running it just doesn’t have the “feel” of them running. You can tell, however, that the artist begins to improve and starts getting better at depicting these sort of things really quickly so it doesn’t last too long.

The wild west meets dragons. What’s not to love? Give it a read, let me know what you think.

And, as always, I hope you enjoy as much as I do.
