Elvenbaath is a traditional comic strip by Canadian Tom Fraser, with main characters and a continuing storyline which weaves its way in and out of fantasy and reality based themes.

It begins with the dreams/nightmares that give flashes into the future of a saucy female elf named Mihoko Heirogawa. She is haunted by these night terrors of a robot that looms in her elf future. Atra is the only human in Elvenbaath, a young, dashing bearded college student, and he gets along well with Miho's mother, Mirra, an elf MILF, in her own right. There are dragonesque WURMS, hallucinogenic coffee, and magic contests along the way. Elvenbaath tells the tale of a young man's entry into a strange new universe, where he feels like a stranger in a strange land. It's another look at university life for the young university student, who often surely feels like he's entered another world, a strange yet magical and challenging world of fear and fun. There's the mystery of Aori, Atra's brother, and his disappearance by some sinister force. But we find out that the mystery is tied to a much larger problem: the whole universe is at stake! Tom Fraser began Elvenbaath in black and white, but went to some color a few weeks into the comic strip, and the color really adds to the cartoon. He combines black and white and color well throughout, telling a complex tale of youthful and ageless interactions with fears of frightful fiends and magical mystery mavens. As with many comics, the characters become more colorful, more developed, and grow into themselves as the artist learns them and understands them better himself. Read it, and start with the first installment, for it all ties together. ... read it now!

Ursula Vernon adventures under her bed amongst the dust-bunny-people to save her ankles and satisfy a monster curiosity. You should come too.

Remember all the rules you piously obeyed as a child in order to protect yourself from monsters? Tucking in the edges of the blanket, braving asphyxiation under the blue flannel, considering buying a snorkel? The second comic in this series (the first is also fantastic, and features a fuzzy blue aztec fingernail-stealing monster singing "Stairway"), reminds you of all that, hitting on every familiar point you almost forgot. In the meantime, Ursula shares her sharp-shooting wit with hilarious narrative. So, pull out a blanket and join her in an adventure under the bed. They have cheese sandwiches there. ... read it now!

Nahast begins immediately with intriguing characters and delightful hints of the story to come.

I'm not a picky person when it comes to webcomics, but I think even some of the most selective readers would be drawn into this one. Nahast begins immediately with intriguing characters and delightful hints of the story to come, not to mention good writing and beautiful artwork.

Alex Melchor has stuck a hook right in my most passionate theme ... mythology, and given it a fresh spin. Strikingly original and yet with hints of existing-culture myths, it's a different and exciting new world that brilliantly outshines the overused theme of fantasy mythology. The fact that it's a full-page, fully coloured comic doesn't hurt either.

This one is already flying, and I'm looking forward to more of it.
