Not sure how many of you make use of the Blogroll I have as a separate page. Doesn’t look like many from the visitor stats, but at least a few of you do. If so, you may have noticed a new comic added to the Art section.
Gifts of Wandering Ice was recommended to me a while back. I didn’t know anything about it, or the author, but was quickly caught up in the story line and clean artwork. In fact, I was intrigued enough a year or so ago to go back to the very beginning and read up to the then present day.
In many respects, the story is not something I would normally expect to enjoy. It is set in a green post-apocalyptic future where at least this group of surviving humans has turned into a matriarchal society. There is more, but the important thing was that between good story telling and clean, family friendly art, I’ve gotten hooked. I also think the author should have the chance to have her work presented to a wider audience, so this is my attempt to do that.
Oh, and if it comes across as something very different from your normal comics, the author isn’t American and is writing from a different cultural viewpoint. For Americans used to American comics, this can create a little dissonance, but to me it seems to add to the story.
Check it out, and if you like it, share it. If you don’t, don’t. Just something I’m enjoying so far and wanted to share.
