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.

Skin Deep was the second webcomic I looked at on WCN and it totaly got me into the medium. The artwork is awesome with a capital AWE! It can be cute at times and then totaly serious. The characters are fun and ferequently hilarious. And the story is intriguing as hells. Its been a year and I still check every day to see what will happen next. better than a movie! (especially today's movies.)
All in all it rates a "OMG that is so cool!" with me. may it go on for years to come.

Ultimately, this is one of the best comics I've found on Webcomics Nation so far! I know the comic hasn't gotten that far along in the story yet, but it's so interesting and unique! I mean, I've read other stories about fantasy creatures living in a hidden world (Cronicles of Narnia, anyone?), but when is the last time you're seen a main character wake up transformed into a sphinx?
The style of the artwork is a little sketchy but it looks fantastic in color. And I love how I saw the Indian Spiderman on one of the random sketch days when there was no comic.
Keep up the good work! I can't wait to see what happens next!
