The lead pic is a still from Alexander, Servant of the Water of Life, by Reimena Lee. I’ve only just started it, but as a history nut, I have hopes! Here’s the about:
It’s an online graphic novel retelling the life and legends of Alexander the Great, part of a 2000yr old literary tradition called the Alexander Romance.
In 323 BCE, Alexander the Great begins to fear. Fearing the destruction of his pothos — i.e., his longing for life, ambition, and eternal conquest — from old age, Alexander embarks on a quest for the elusive Water of Life while accompanied by his wisest, most trustworthy Servant.
As they experience a series of countless fabulous wonders, including glass submarines, naked philosophers, Amazonians, and talking prophetic trees, Alexander confronts his complex legacy and reflects on the life and deeds that will cement his transformation into one of the most unforgettable figures in world history.
And here’s one I finally finished, the other week. It’s called Vattu:
It’s set off-world, in a sort of middle-ages era, and reimagines what society, species, politics and even physical laws are like. It took 12yrs to produce and consists of 1200+ pages, so anyone who digs it is in for a long treat. My one complaint is that some of the main characters are a bit hard to tell apart, but then there’s a helpful guide for that. 🙂
- TBH it’s Southern-USA produced, and I can understand any appropriate backlash upon that, but this one truly does seem ‘Euro’ in spirit, from my POV.
Mille sabords!, I’d like to put together a nice summation of our favorite Euro-tinged webcomics, a bit like the “Movie Night” link post did.
So… got any favorites there, mateys?
Lol, not sure if you’re playing with me or not, but:
Review-- Luke Pearson’s lovely, imaginative, yet surprisingly gritty Hilda series, sadly Imgur lost the core images, and they need to be restored.
That’s a “Nisse,” a house spirit! (4 pages), still good!
woah, thanks for the clarification.
Wait, what did I just screw up…!?
What? No, I couldn’t figure out what Hilda was, and just searching for that word didn’t help, so thanks for the clarification.
Oof… sorry, mate.
&*%Q@$# I’m terribly sorry, Sergio. 🙁
FWIW, I don’t think I have a lot of time left (health issues), and frankly I’m kinda bitchy, in pain, and occasionally get riled up over nothing. I guess I kinda get snappy about things, sometimes for almost zero reason… or I just totally misunderstood something.
I’m really sorry about that, mate. :S
Sorry to hear about your health issues, I hope things turn out as best they can. Don’t worry about any misunderstandings, I know what it’s like.
Thanks, matey!
Also, thank you so much for your help and recommendations upon our little sublemmy. I really appreciate that you’ve stuck with it, and have let other people know about it. It makes the effort feel worthwhile. 🙂
