Web Comics!

For this week, I read Gutless, Mimon, and a little bit of bit of Barbaros. Even though they were short, I really liked Gutless and Mimon! Gutless had a very cool, modern, millennial look and feel to it, from the character designs to the story itself. I liked how the princess and the mermaid felt non-traditional it make things feel very fresh and original. I definitely plan to keep following the comic in the future. 
I had very similar feelings about Mimon, I thought the art was gorgeous, much cleaner and elegant than the rougher more painterly gutless. I love fantasy stories, witches, and media with great female representation,  and this had all of that. Another one I plan to continue!
I read a few barbaros too, but I didn't get very far. it didn't grab my attention like the former two comics did. The design of the monster character didn't really appeal to me, but to each their own I suppose. 
Other comics I've been following, I've been absolutely LIVING for Heavy Vinyl and Snotgirl. Heavy Vinyl is adorable and is turning out to be a really fun and fresh new look at queer media. Snotgirl is just a work of art, the illustrations are gorgeous and the story is taking a really interesting horror/thriller turn. I don't usually follow a lot of horror stories but I cant put this one down, I’m in too deep.
