Review: Fey Winds webcomic

"Fey Winds is a stark, brutal portrayal of the heartbreak caused by pet dander-- no wait--
Fey Winds is a silly fantasy webcomic that's halfway between spoof and epic adventure."

That pretty much sums up why I love this webcomic by Nicole Chartrand, also known as Lelenia.

Let me give you a little background on my experience reading webcomics so you can fully appreciate my review of this one in particular. Two years ago, I was unemployed for three or so months. While I was looking for work...ish...I happened upon the world of webcomics and fell into a time-gobbling vortex of ravenous reading. I'd known about webcomics, of course. I just hadn't realized how much they would appeal to me as an author. These weren't your weekly cringe-at-the-bad-pun or aw-and-stick-it-on-your-fridge type comics; these were thought out, illustrated stories with rich worlds and believable characters I could both love and hate. They were graphic novels, handed over one tantalizing page at a time.

Somehow, I happened across one of Lelenia's drawings of Kit, her foxy (no, literally) character from Fey Winds. I clicked through a couple pages of her comic, curious. Went back to the beginning. And read it all.
