I've been thinking about doing something a little different every once in awhile. Inspired by recaps by Agony Booth and videos by Linkara, I want to critique and riffing about webcomics. Only thing I'll do differently is not only go in depth in terms of bad webcomics, but good ones as well. I have my eyes set on critiquing at least four I've encountered on deviantart. I know some of you who are no doubt reading this are rolling their eyes at me, but trust me when I say there are some good webcomics out there on that site. Though it takes some bit of digging and searching to come across some good ones, okay to meh ones, and some disappointing to bad.
But rest assured, I won't be focusing solely on webcomics on deviantart. I'll also look at others I've encountered through my searches on the search engine and recommendations from others. For the general format, I'll keep mostly a secret, but I'll tell you folks this--I'm going to try to be as fair and objective as I can, even with some of the bad webcomics. Provide as much advice as I can since as a Sequential art student, I want to look at ways the writer can improve on his or her story. When it comes down to it, there should be a balance of positive and negative criticism. But don't expect me to tone down any sarcasm I may inject and I'll mostly be harmless about it.
Anyway, onto the webcomics I plan to review. Depending upon my oncoming schedule for the school year, I might squeeze out two or three if lucky. Just a fair warning.
So the webcomics:
-Blackblood Alliance - yes, I know I did a critique of it in my pervious post. But I'm going to do it again to make sure my first critique was relavent. And because only one issue has been completed, I'm going to do that instead until the artist-writer herself finishes the second issue.
-Isle - I first heard about through a deviantart journal entry, which was openly harsh about it, and decided to skim through it and read the first page. And my verdict so far: good lord. Now admittedly, it was written by a 14 year old, so you can't expect anything go to come out of it.
-Off-White - a good webcomic I happen to enjoy more than BBA because of a plot based in Norse mythology, interesting characters, and unique artwork that is realistic while has some animated elements to it.
-The Meek - another good webcomic I've found interesting and enjoyable. Though is relatively new, it holds great promise in the near future as far as story goes.
So those are the webcomics I plan to review in the future, possibly sometime at the end of the year ro next year at the most. If I'm lucky, I might do a video review, but only if. Take care readers, Rayne out.
