Does Mastodon have people who review comics? I was recommended try to find out people willing to give my comicbook - or the Web comic - an honest review.
I cannot provide book copies, but the webcomic is entirely free to read in Tapastic, and the first 100 comics are the ones shown in the comicbook. It isn't exactly same experience visually, as the book contains bonus art and comics, but technically it is the same thing.

My third #WebcomicReview is about a special gem being created by @JenJen: Skal!
You'll notice on every page that Skal is special amongst webcomics, because it is painted in real watermedia! And Jennie is a master of her art, creating visually distinct characters and an absorbing, magical Thousand And One Nights atmosphere. Just looking at the pleasant watercolour gradients and caring details is already entertainment enough, but the story is also gripping and fun.
My second #WebcomicReview is about the #webcomic I most recently started to read, The Firelight Isle by @paulduffield.
Outstanding: Paul really uses the medium creatively and immersively to transport his story in a way that none other could support. Weaving plays an important role in Firelight Isle, and the comic is in form of a woven ribbon, inviting to scroll and scroll and get lost in the beautiful world. Lush star skies, a rich symbols, graphially delicious.
Let me continue my #WebcomicReview about The Meek. Character limits are nearly as hard as my urge to reread all of it.
The dialogs feel very natural. What I like a lot is how different languages interact, how public speech fades into personal, and back, and how each character has their own voice.
The meek is visually superb, with a joyful choice colours, it has fantastic interiour and exteriour spaces, and subtle facial expressions.
2/3
My first #WebcomicReview is about "The Meek", by @shingworks, because Der-Shing is the lovely person who brought me to Mastodon! Thank you for everything good you bring to this world!
The story is set in a fantastic world similar to ours in the early 20th century, with little fantastic bits sprinkled all over. Outstandingly, it manages to talk about private issues of relatable characters as well as painting a tangible picture of the overall society.

Before I'm actually going to start, just a few comments on what's going to happen on #WebcomicReview.
All the webcomics I'm going to write about are by very talented artists, so I hope you will forgive me if, in my European modesty, I forget to point this out every time.
Given the character limit on this instance, I'll have to be brief. Sometimes, I might post a second toot about a comic later.
Obviously, feel free to boost!
And most obviously, visit the webcomics and donate to the artists!
Since some time I wanted to write a series of commentary/pitches/kudos/toots on #webcomics I love.
Now is the time I'm actually going to start. I'll keep going every week on Wednesday and post another toot on a great #webcomic!
If you love webcomics and graphic novels, listen in. I'll cover The Meek, Gunnerkrigg Court and Unsounded, just to name a few. You might learn about a few new, beautiful webcomics! To find all reviews I've written so far, just search for this hashtag:
