As you may have noticed, I don’t quite have enough things to write about to keep this updated  frequently.

I could write book reviews, and the truth is that I might start doing that more often, since I honestly didn’t realize how much I’d missed writing those things until I wrote that one of Mélusine a few entries back.  (Speaking of, I grabbed “The Virtu” yesterday.  I’m about halfway through.  *Enjoying it*)

But the trouble with reviews is that I have to be in the right mood to write one.  Besides, a lot of books I read are pretty well-known.   Like Harry Potter.  (The last one was awesome, by the way.)

So.  What to do?

…Well, I like webcomics.  And webomics can always use more attention, at least in my opinion.  So I’m going to talk about them.  And why I like them.  And why you should go see if you like them.

The first one I’ll talk about is Inverloch.  It’s probably my favourite webcomic out there right now, and it’ll be drawing to a close shortly, so now seems as good a time as any to discuss it.   Written and illustrated by Australia’s Sarah Ellerton,  this  fantasy comic  that has all sorts of elements that any fantasy fan will be familiar with; elves, wizards, seedy towns, and so on.  But in a lot of ways, the story is character-driven, and the art is gorgeous.  I’m not going to do an in-depth analysis, since all I’m trying to do is point you in the direction of this comic, but if you’re a fan of fantasy, I’d suggest checking it out.  It’s light-hearted most of the time:  If it doesn’t make you laugh, it’ll at least make you crack a smile.  It might make you cry sometimes.

I started reading this comic around the time that volume three was coming out – I had no idea I’d been reading it so long.  It has definitely stood the test of time. 

And for the record?  It is available in print form, published by Seven Seas Entertainment, a company which has quite a few nice titles under its belt.  I own the books that are out so far, and I suggest getting them.  Not least of all because they have shiny new material in them, but also because the work put into this comic is quite obvious, and , for one, think that Ms. Ellerton should get some return on it.

So cheers, and hope you like that comic as much as I do!
