This ongoing graphic novel presents a unique blend of familiar myth and modern settings as the stage for very 'real' characters that you can identify with. 

I stumbled onto Skin Deep several months ago, and once I read a few pages I was hooked.  It took a while to go through all of her back panels, but it was well worth the time.  What is funny is that I don't even like one of her main characters - but it's because she comes across as a real person to me who would be annoying in real life.  (You have to figure out who I am talking about on your own.)

Kory manages to make each of her characters a complete person - they have histories, personalities, quirks, and both good and bad points.  Her art style is clean and colorful, and very distinctive.  I highly recommend her sketch book - lots of neat drawings for cheap.

In any case, if you aren't reading Skin Deep regularly, you are missing out on some great storytelling.
