Josiah just informed me it was my turn to post a comic cos someone was dropped, so here it is

I would like to nominated Inverloch http://www.seraph-inn.com/

To get to the comic, clip the book called ‘Inverloch’ from the ‘book shelf’

Story Summary: The story of Inverloch centers around a young man named Acheron, from a horned wolf-like race called the da'kor. After a chance encounter with an elf, he finds himself setting out on a seemingly innocent mission - that of trying to locate Kayn'dar, another elf who has been missing for the past twelve years.

Meeting up with new friends and companions along the way, he quickly begins to learn that the world is not quite the peaceful place he believed it to be - embroiled with prejudice, racial segregation, and hidden danger. And the truth behind Kayn'dar's disappearance is something none of the party would ever expect...

Artwork: In a word, beautiful. The art get progressively better, but its flawless all the way threw. The latter comics looked like screen shots from a high quality animated movie.

Story: The story is almost finished now, in fact, all that remains is the epilogue and the comics finished. It’s well written and the characters are well developed. One of the more believable fantasy adventures I have read.


Fav comics. I like all of them, here is an example of a good looking comic http://inverloch.seraph-inn.com/viewcomic.php?page=302 and this comic represents a gental humor in the series http://inverloch.seraph-inn.com/viewcomic.php?page=500

Yeah, I've been reading Inverloch for, oh... about two years now. I have the first two volumes in print. I even got a bunch of other people addicted to it. Because it only pwns the universe to death. Although...



[SPOILER] I... was a bit disappointed with the end. I mean, all this time we thought we were following Acheron, a kind Da'kor, an exception to the rule, and then it turns out he's just an elf and that elves really are perfect. AND Sarah caved and cannonized VardenxLei'ella, which had, at first, just seemed like a pairing people supported because there was no one else to ship... Meh.[/SPOILER]

...Which sounds a lot more harsh than it was supposed to. Inverloch is still great and if anyone here hasn't read it (Which I'd find surprising, to be honest...) you better get to work on that. Because there are 764 pages and you have to read all of them. All of them!

I was a little disapointed with the plot twist, but I had been getting the vibe from the begining he wasnt really a da'kor. I thought he might have been a spin of result of some spell used on the elf, and it turned out I was half right.

I've also been reading this for a long time, and, well...I don't really like it all that much. Neireinn is the only worthwhile character at this point (both Ach and Varden have changed so much that they're no longer really characters so much as balls of mush). I didn't like the plot twist, mainly because I really don't like elves, especially when they're in the kind of setting like in Inverloch (which is how elves are normally portrayed). Varden USED to be cool before he stopped being, well, a thief, and he started being a device through which Lei'ella's character was developped.

Also, Acheron was very nice- character-wise, I liked the concept-but he's actually Kayn'dar. Which means that, a) the entire story was pretty much a waste of everyone's time, she already had found kayn'dar.
and b: Ash...isn't ash anymore. Which makes Ash a jerk, really.

Also also, remember what I said about Neireinn? I lied. Because once she took up dark magic, she pretty much became a completely different character, too. And that's BEFORE raul's memories.

Wow. Long-winded, much? Yeah, Inverloch gets a solid "okay" from me. I wouldn't buy it, but I don't hate people for liking it or anything.

Gah, late post... Wish I had internet at work.

Anyway, the art is good. I'm nearly 400 strips in and the story isn't bad. Good enough to keep me reading anyway. Although I think a lot stuff is kinda rushed. Seems like many of the sections could use a few more pages to flesh things out a bit.

*forgot to post in here* ehe...Well, I loved this comic. The ending was ... okay, but the rest I loved! I sent one of the pages in the epilogue (the one with Lei'ela and Varden) to a friend of mine since she's into those sorts of pics and now she's addicted to the series too!

[SPOILER WARNING]
The only thing I didn't like in the series is how they made it seem like the majority of Da'kor really were all jerks since the one obviously really nice one ended up not being a Da'kor after all.
[/SPOILER WARNING]

Other than, that, I loved it!
