Previously, on the Wild Webcomic Review:
These comics are a bit, fetishy. DON'T JUDGE ME!
Now, the continuation.
Okay, it's review time. Of the 5, two of them are NSFW (Not Safe For Work), and will be marked as such. Four of them are on deviant art, and if I can link to the comic itself, I will. If I can't, it'll be the artist page. Ready? Too bad.
231. Vampire Cheerleaders - It's a comic about high school cheerleaders. Who are vampires. Hilarity ensues. This is a manga style comic (read right to left) that isn't nearly as fetish heavy as the other comics on this list. Oh, there's implied sex, and some self censored nudity, but nothing too risqué. In fact, if the vampire part of the comic was pulled, no one would likely notice. This is actually my issue with it: nothing is really done with the vampire part of comic. Oh, it's there, it plays a role, but there's no consequences to it. No conflict over their nature. Even the last major storyline, while it had a bit of the vampire as part of the storyline, most of it was focused on a cheerleading competition. The art is manga style, very clean and very good. They're doing a crossover with one of the other comics in the "group" so the art is very different right now, and whether it goes back or not, I do not know. Anyway, it's a light, fun comic, but nothing serious, heavy or important. Hell, I often forget to check it regularly. It's probably the worst of this batch of comics, but that doesn't mean it's bad. Maybe worth the time.
232. The Legend of Zelda: El Rey - I'm not much of a fan of fan fiction, and it doesn't come up a lot in comics. The only two I can think of off hand is the part of the old Earthbeta (I still have nightmares), and 8-Bit Theater. Still, this is an AMAZING comic. I am not joking, fan of Zelda series or not (I am a fan) this is a great comic. It has direction, a point, really good art, well written, and turns the classic Zelda characters on their head, but without sacrificing what makes them classic characters. I think I know where the story might be going, but I want to see it get there, and if it's really what I think. Completely worth fighting with deviant art to read, and as a fan of the series, it's the best I could imagine. Go, read it.
233. Material Girl - This comic is about crossdressing. The basic plot is one day a boy gets attacked by his sisters neglected clothing, and they for him to wear them. Hilarity ensues. Then it gets a bit dark at the end. Yes, this comic is complete, so there is an ending to it. The crossdressing is the center of the comic, which makes sense as the artist, I believe, is a crossdresser himself. I don't think this comic is meant to be, in any way, autobiographical, but I suspect there are elements there. The comic is simple (4 panel, penciled strips) and focused more on individual jokes per strip than anything else. It's light, fun, and probably worth a read through.
234. Demon Candy: Parallel (NSFW) - Tagging this with NSFW is only because, well it isn't safe for work, but not because there's lots of sex or nudity. One would be forgiven thinking that, as it does take place in the mansion of the Succubus Queen, in Hell, and everyone is in leather, latex and other bondage gear basically all the time. There is no nudity in the comic. No sex either. Can't even think of a moment where it's even implied that there is sex. For a comic about various forms of BDSM play, it's very clean. Artwise, it's very good looking and some of the best ink and paper work I've seen. Characters are interesting, far deeper than simple demons for the most part, and that seems more the focus of the comic than even the fetishes. How they relate to each other drives the story, which is pretty good, but I'm not sure on the direction. The basic plot is outlined on the page I've linked, but where it's going and how it's getting there is, well, undefined. Most of the chapters are standalone stories around some form of BDSM play. I think it's still building up to that point, but by the rules of the comic, it's at LEAST halfway done, so I hope the build up starts showing a bit more direction. It's interesting and well done.
235. Shiniez (Sunstone) (NSFW) - Where Demon Candy barely even implies that sex occurs, Sunstone (the probable name of the comic) makes no bones about what it is and what is going on. It also has some of the best, realistic artwork I have ever seen. Perhaps TOO realistic in some regards. Considering it started as simple fetish based pinups, I suppose that's not that surprising, and definitely one of the reasons many would consider this more useful for that reason rather than for the comic's content. The content is actually pretty good. The artist states that it's actually educational about the true nature of bondage, and safe practices and such. I like it more as a character piece, where we learn about the characters and while not WHY they like what they do in the bedroom, it at least goes into how it effects their life. Great art, good writing (if filled with typos, don't mention it, the artist knows), and an interesting story make it one of the more interesting and well done comics I've read in the while. I will warn right now that these strips are HUGE. One strip is easily 4 or 5 regular pages for most large comics, so be aware it could take a bit to load.
And that's it kiddies. With that, I finish the third year of this blog. So what's in store for the fourth year? No idea! I suspect I'll be finishing up the old reviews (didn't think they'd last THIS long), but beyond that, no idea. Should be interesting to say the least, hope you kids stick around for the ride. Until then kiddies.
