Various recs and thoughts

There's been a bunch of really good comics over at fancomiccentral, so I thought I'd link them plus another I was reminded of and mention some thinky thoughts.

First, Good Omens:

• black and white is a slight but cute Pollution/Famine comic, it stopped after a few comics
  
• The prologue and Pages 54 - 58. Adaptation rather than fancomic so not really appropriate for this comm but significant for me since I tried drawing my own adaptation of the prologue once. This is much better :D
  
• Good Omens by SerenitysRiver An adaptation of one of the early chapters
  

Second, Disney:

• Rescue Rangers: of Mice and Mayhem A surprisingly engaging Chip/Gadget adventure.
  
• When Curiosity met Insanity A mix of fanfic and fancomics. Rather romance novel-ish Alice/Hatter, based on the Disney movie not the book.
  

This last one is what prompted my thinky thoughts: this sort of story is really not my thing (all that older man seeing feisty young innocent girl as his "prize" etc) But I really enjoyed the fancomic sections, and eventually just skimmed to read them. I think part of it is that the author's sense of humour is better suited to comics than prose, and part is that the artist is very good, but still I definitely enjoyed it much more than I would have the same story/art separately. Also, the Good Omens fancomics reminded me of puzzlebleuink: I adore the illustrated fanfic but I do not enjoy it in the same way as I do fancomics, even ones that objectively aren't quite as awesome.


I guess this soft spot for fancomics above other media is why I made this comm :) Anyone else feel the same way?

I like any form of media that can tell a good story, whether it's fancomics, fanfiction, fanart, or even fanvideos. However, I tend to prefer the second, but focus mostly on fancomics because of the amount of searching I have to do to find ones with at least some length. Still, there's quite a bit of enjoyment to be had in reading a well-made fancomic that tear down a few preconceptions along the way.


P.S. I'm going to put my last Good Omens comic up tomorrow, but I'll let you have the link early (http://serenitysriver.deviantart.com/gallery/#Good-Omens).

Oh I LOVE fanvids, but in a very different way to fancomics and fic, I tend to see them as a totally different things. Hmm.

Thanks for the link! Huzzah for GO fancomics :)
