Frickin’ Webcomics for the Ages: #1

Hey! Let me tell you about Crosslink!

A story that might not be the best “webcomic” to start F'WFTA with, since it REALLY stretches the definition— much more-so than the other comics I’ll cover later (stay tuned!). Anywhoo, Crosslink is an interactive story that hooked me right from the cover (web?) page. Even through all the comics I’ve read, Crosslink’s set up and introductory segment is one of THE most engaging ones I’ve ever experienced. The opening track, the gleaming background image— and then the abrupt image of an ice-cold mountain, with You traveling into the barren landscape… It was so cool!!

The story boasts music tracks for each page, with a very unique narrative style that I honestly wish I’d see more of? It really lends itself to the format of a webpage, I really enjoyed it. AND it has a lot of fully colored and painted drawings for some of the pages— with backgrounds and everything!

If there's one thing about it I’d tell someone about, its the music. The absolute range on display is so cool, and they all play alongside the writing.

And the writing! It’s great! It’s incredibly natural, the character dialogue is at the forefront here and it’s lovely. And every now and then there’s hints at the extent of the worldbuilding at play here, the places have history, characters have connections and a general feeling of there’s something just beyond the veil…

I feel like I need to talk about the— THE SHEER SCALE OF TIME this story is stretched along. It’s clear that the story occupies an immense timeline, the brief glimpses the narrator will take into how things went in the future (or the past, just a little closer) and cutting back to the current story, it really intrigued me. The entire thing feels like it’s written like a campfire story, the narrator recounting things dear to him.

And of course, it's primarily made by one person. sick!!

Most Memorable Moment: When Bryph hugged Arcturus after he came to the conclusion that Arcturus must be a child in dragon years. That GIF alone really put things into perspective, how much more vast dragons are, and how little Arcturus understands about the world of the Sapes. I… love that Bryph’s first reaction is to comfort, even when the other is so wildly alien from what he knows.

omg yes lol. on one hand he could be like “Maybe the Thieves aren’t as incompetent as I thought” which comes with its own can of worms (“No they’re still stupid and I alone still work better than them as a team!”) but then he’d also be screwed with trying to stall for time. his plan crumbles before his eyes… hehe that’d be interesting

🇺🇸 May 1st / Part 19: After my little walk, I was on my way to the hotel. During the ride, I honestly felt like a zombie; all I could think about was sleeping. You have no idea how hard I was fighting to stay awake… I really thought I was going to collapse from exhaustion.

And when I took the subway, there was this escalator that felt like it would never end! I know there are worse ones out there, but when your only goal is to get back quickly and something like that slows you down, it’s super frustrating haha.

After the subway, I took an electric scooter 🛴 because I didn’t have the energy to walk anymore. And then… a little problem. Because of my intracorneal ring, I could barely see the road! Just to remind you, at night it causes blurry vision and light halos. In fact, when you have intracorneal rings (and keratoconus), it’s forbidden to drive at night.

I was afraid I might crash or ride all over the place, but in the end everything went well. I managed to handle the ride despite the unpleasant vision !

while i colour the next page, i'd like to point out one of my favourite details about the Factory comic:

our good ol' blue-eyed pal's white eyes are literally brighter than the margins of the comic. they are so unnaturally white that they break the fourth wall

Have you ever received fanart for The Games of Divinity? (And if not what would be the best way to get it to you?)

I have not but tagging me on tumblr/directly dropping it in my inbox would be the best way to let me know!
