Everblue - Dagger

It occurs to me that I left out one other lovely lady from the webcomic Everblue, and leaving that as is would be a crying shame.  So let us introduce:

Dagger
Dagger is a blade for hire who wanders the sea lanes along the equator of her world.  When a fight approaches she is all business but otherwise she is a cheerful devil-may-care individual.  As a blade for hire, there are mainly two things that matter for her: getting paid and getting a good challenge.  It is her ambition to one day kill the world's most feared outlaw.

Namesake - Emma

In the world of Namesake, all fairy tales are real.  At least in their own dimension.  On ocassion people from our world are pulled into the worlds of fair tales to fulfill the role of their character, their "namesake."  Dorthy will go to Oz, Alice will go to Wonderland, ect ect.  And if these Namesakes survive their journey, they return to our world with tremendous power, where they are then caught up in a conflict waged between those who wish to maintain the status quo and those who wish to destroy it.

It has been this way for as long as anyone still alive can remember.  But then when a girl who appears to have no namesake is drawn into a fairy tale world, it throws everything into confusion.  And now dominoes that have been building for over a hundred years begin to fall and thus our story begins.  Magic, adventure, and mystery await.

First comic.


Emma Crewe

Confused but not hapless is Emma Crewe, main character of our series.  A "normal" twenty six year old woman, Emma finds herself witness to a out of control fire at the library caused by the two warring factions when she's sucked into a mysterious portal to Oz.  She inadvertently turns the wicked witch into a purse before donning the witches shoes (who turn out to be the previous wicked witch) and sets off with both of them to discover how to get home and why Oz is all of a sudden covered in more sleeping poppies than it has any right to.  And then things get weird.

"Well at the moment you're currently killer on both my heels and my ears."

Hearing is an impressive feat for a pair of feet wear. 
The answer, ironically, is "Not in Oz anymore."

Magick Chicks - Melissa

Another direct spin off of Eerie CutiesMagick Chicks tells the story of three witches transferred to a all girls monster hunting academy as punishment for causing trouble at their old school.  The three must keep their identities as supernaturals a secret while going about their daily highschool lives, lest they be slain by a hoard of fanatic huntresses.  (first comic)

Melissa Hellrune
Melissa is the leader of the Hellrune coven and the main protagonist of the story.  At first glance she's your typical queen bee wannabe, although she genuinely cares for her friends.  Arrogant and proud to a fault, much of the story deals with her getting thoroughly knocked down by life and slowly building herself back up along with the help of a somewhat air headed huntress in training and a magical girl heritage she'd rather forget.

Oh yeah, we also find out that she's a magical girl witch.  Or is that witch magical girl?  Well, you get the idea.  It's one of those series.

Melissa and her mighty coven in the face of the washroom ghost.
Fear the fairy!  Fear her!
Dream sequence or a loose interpretation of a "causal dress code?"  You decide!

Newman - Emaline

Hmmm.  Good thing I decided to check before I went to bed as it appears mah blog's auto-update is acting persnickety.  Well anywho, time for an update!

---

Before the current run of Newman there was a version the artist did where Newman had a different partner and had some sort of destiny as the ultimate hero who must sacrifice everything in order to save the world.  Sadly the series was never completely finished but is referenced to in the modern run of Newman.  (comic vault)

Emaline
Emaline is a fairy and Newman's partner during the first run of the comic.  The penultimate antagonist was directly responsible for the death of her father and she seeks to stop him.  Newman cared deeply for her and towards the end even proposed to her but for whatever reason it didn't work out.

Newman - Gwen

Imagine if you will a modern day fantasy world where gnomes, elves, wizards, and so on all live in a city that could pass for present day Chicago.  The days of knights in shiny armor and high adventure are gone but monsters, fell beasts, and abominations of nature still remain.

Enter the Creature Removal Department, or the C.R.D. for short, a government agency tasked with keeping the people safe from monsters.  Two of the best agents of the C.R.D. are Newman, a cynical gnomish sword user with a standoffish attitude but a heart of gold, and Gwen, drow sharpshooter skilled at sniping monsters with arrows and Newman with snark.  Despite their differences though the two make an excellent monster fighting duo and good thing too.  For the land of modern day fantasy is still full of much weirdness that will not go down without a fight.  (first comic)

Gwen
No further introduction needed really.  But since I abhor wasted space, let's go over a bit more about Gwen and by extension Newman.  She and the titular gnome are partners in the C.R.D. and after the first chapter they're also a couple.  Gwen at times has difficulty with her drow heritage, especially in the case of Newman as drow genetics/courtship rituals means that technically Newmann is her quite literally her "love slave."  Not that he seems to mind that much.   Gwen also has the quirk of dressing up Newman in frilly dresses 'cause she thinks he looks cute in them.


















Do NOT try to mess with Gwen and run away.

The old drow ceremonial armor comes in hand on Halloween.

Spinnerett - Sahira

Heyo!  So I was planning on doing this entree later this month, but this week's been a long one and I needed a short post.  So without further ado, let's introduce this weeks webcomic gal:


Sahira
Sahira is Heather's roommate and snarky best friend.  She's studying to become a fashion designer and is the one responsible for making and repairing all of Heather/Spinnerett's costumes.  Later on it's discovered that she has the power to temporarily copy a superhero/villain's powers through contact with their DNA, although she has expressed a keen disinterest in super heroing herself.  She does find having six arms does help with the household chores though.

Everblue - Luna

Everblue the webcomic takes place in a world of seemingly endless ocean, where human civilization is limited to numerous floating cities that are themselves confined to a long belt of ocean that stretches from the north to south polls.  Beyond this belt is the titular Everblue, an unexplored expanse from which no explorer has ever returned.

However, when a young shipwright meets a happy go lucky drifter after his boat crashes into the docks (through no fault of his (mostly)), events are set into motion that will force the shipwright from her home and the two of them on an adventure to explore the Everblue.  However much can happen in an endless ocean and it is unknown if that which awaits them is scarier than that which already pursues them.  (first comic)

Luna
Before she met Ten, aka happy go lucky drifter, Luna was just an ordinary shipwright.  Okay that's not entirely true as she's also has a hobby of exploring the long untouched submerged sections of the city contrary to religious taboo and she's constructed a boat built around lost technology.  But other than that, not so inordinate.

One of the things that makes this series so great for foot lovers is that Luna is perpetually either wearing sandals or just plain going barefoot.  And it's not uncommon for the artist to show her going from a state of the former to the latter.











And then there was...a flashback!  As it turns out sandals and bare feet have pretty much been Luna's default choice since as long as she remembers.
