A Webcomic you should follow
August 24, 2010
Gunnerkrigg Court: If you took Harry Potter, tossed it a blender with some of Girl Genius and some Neil Gaiman, you’d end up with something in the same genre as this. The story goes from cute, to creepy to heartwarming in the space of a couple of panels. And, if you pay attention, everything that seems to be arbitrary weirdness (and oh, is there weirdness) does eventually get an explanation. You have to love a story about an English boarding school where Coyote (yes, THE Coyote) is a major player and this guy is the heroine’s sidekick.

I found Gunnerkrigg Court a few months back. I really wish it published every day, it’s agonizingly slow to get through each chapter at only 3 installments per week. But damn, it’s good. It’s only the second comic I’ve read sophisticated enough to need to use a word like “psychopomp,” the other comic, of course, being Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman. It’s certainly more my cup of tea than Harry Potter.
