Webcomic Review #9 - Fantasy Comics Part 1: The Spiritual, Occult, and Mythological

FANTASY - PART 1

The Firelight Isle

 


 The Firelight Isle presents an ancient civilization akin to a Meso-American empire, where boys and girls alike are expected
to undertake harrowing trials of religious devotion as part of their grand and hallowed coming-of-age ceremony.
Two childhood friends find themselves torn apart, as one decides to join the highest order of spiritual warriors.

Hosted on Tapastic and updates roughly every two weeks.
 

Castoff 

 


 In Castoff, a magically-inclined bounty hunter comes across a quaint bookstore, wherein dwells an unusual creature with
pointed ears and glowing, yellow eyes. He is immediately detained for charges unknown and dragged away to meet an
uncertain fate. The aesthetic overall is adequate enough, but I'm a sucker for demons and satyr-like character designs.

 Updates twice a week.

Godslave

 


 Godslave follows Edith on a visit to a history museum, who unintentionally frees an ancient Egyptian deity from its slumber inside a canopic jar. She is immediately accosted by an otherworldly henchmen on the hunt for the unassuming animal,
and through her new friend's help she is granted the power necessary to dish out her own proverbial can of whoop-ass.

 Updates anywhere between once and three times a week.

Ilse

 


 Ilse stars a princess seemingly afflicted with a terrifying deformity, only for it to appear to be the sign of a witch slain by the town's local hero. Desperately seeking to return to her tower before her royal sires discover her sneaking and spying,
she comes across the offspring of said hero, and its unclear just what she has in store for him.

 Updated on a one-per-week schedule, but currently on hiatus.

Suihira

 


 Another comic set in a deeply religious society, Suihira is named for the mythical paradise created by a goddess long
forgotten by the denizens of Iona. Princess Wahida is jeered and shamed for her devotion to said legend, and sets out
on a pilgrimage to meet her maker and escape the confines built by the blasphemers surrounding her.

 Updates twice a week.



BUT WAIT, I'M JUST ABOUT FINISHED!
