I'm surprised no one really mentioned how Roz ignores Leslie, despite the fact that Leslie's the one who's actually suffered at the hands of religious right.
Man is a most complex simple creature: see what he weaves, and how base his reasons for doing so.
Oh, it's Kill Six Billion Demons. I read a bit of it back when it was a forum adventure on the MPSA Forums. For the past couple of years, the author has been rebuilding it into a proper webcomic.
Think Alice In Wonderland, but instead of Alice you have a college girl, instead of falling down a rabbit hole you have a giant black armored figure who sticks a magical key in your head while you're trying to get it on with your boyfriend, instead of a Queen of Hearts you have Six Black Emperors, and instead of a weird nursery-rhyme world you have a multiversal nexus at the center of 77'777 worlds.
It draws inspiration from Hindu mythology, Elder Scrolls lore, and gnosticism.
The art is really baroque and detailed, mixing the modern, mythic, and the weird.
So you know, if you like seeing weird shit like enormous metal giants, stone angels doing kung-fu, and monsters of every kind, you should probably read Kill Six Billion Demons.
(I also had the pleasure of getting one of actually getting my submitted character appear really early)
So instead of binging K6BD, I binged...Ava's Demon.
I'll be honest, I did it only because of people reacting in horror to the "Gate to Immortality". The rest of it was great (kind of missing something I can't put my finger on), but that alone--and the aftermath--would have been worth it. Just, holy shit.

Michael Kirkbride was a writer and designer for a couple of the older Elder Scrolls game, and did a bunch of the lore. As in, most of the really esoteric stuff.

I'd say they have different qualities and aspects, but Abbaddon is definitely more technically proficient, mostly because he's the one drawing the huge, enormously complicated webcomic.
The fact that Tom Siddell is intentionally deliberating on how much of a jerk this guy is means that the reveal about his caring heart is going to be even more mind-blowing.
So, because sometimes the universe hates me, I've gotten wrapped up in the world of people who give harsh reviews to webcomics. And I read a couple about Shortpacked, and I got to wondering about whether Shortpacked was any good at what it purported to be: a comic about relationships, nerd stuff and the occasional social justice issue.
A good point was made about the use of tokenism in the comic. Ken and Lucy were basically replacements of older characters with nothing to them besides their nerdiness. Ethan at least had his sexuality and Amber had her issues and the Amazi-Girl schtick. Never mind that the last storyline had this happen, which is basically the worst representation of representation issues I've ever seen. That's the kind of crap that makes people not take representation seriously.
The False Equivalence comic tends to be brought up a lot as an example of him putting his own thoughts into a female character's mouth and claiming it's a female perspective, and I have noticed him doing that with Lucy.
The whole issue with Ethan breaking up with Drew because he doesn't support his hobby is kind of broken when you realize that Ethan does actually have a problem. This is a guy who, while trying to rescue a girl from a potentially dangerous criminal, decided to take a detour to buy some action figures.
And the strawmen are kind of an issue. I mean, he uses a lot of straw men. And he usually goes out of his way to make them balding, fat guys, which is kind of an issue?
I dunno. I guess the terrible people who devote their lives to this sort of thing had some good points, and now I find myself listening to people who confuse sexuality with romanticism and believe that Kill la Kill is a terrible show.
They did notice the aforementioned issue with QC having "comic relief in a nutshell" Pintsize and "social equality for robots" Momo in the comic at the same time, so they are definitely right about some things.
So I tuned out of Gunnerkrigg Court during the boat chapter, but the current chapter is like a waking nightmare for Annie and I can't stop reading.
I wonder how much farther Anthony can go? There's still "no more guiding spirits to the afterlife, now relinquish your blinker stone" left, but can he continue to exceed expectations?
That would be anticlimactic, and if it was something like what he was doing in "Divine" he probably wouldn't make a scenario that directly involved himself.
I'm thinking about this a bit more, and it really echoes this scene--a figure of authority trying to take everything from Annie. Except then, all her friends were there to stand up for her and offer her protection. Here, she's being isolated, and the voice of authority is her father.
It feels like a lot of Annie's growth is leading up to her standing up to him now, but Carver is being manipulative as hell ("this is an inconvenience for everyone") and he's doing it from a position where she wasn't expecting to have to resist. I really don't know where this is going, and it's amazing.

i read a little of it one time, but David Willis' comics never really clicked with me, somehow.

I'll read it when I can look at a webcomic's archive and not feel a deep and abiding tiredness.
