review:
I was lucky enough to receive a review copy of Gunnerkrigg Court Volume 4: Materia by Tom Siddell. I wasn't familiar with this webcomic, but spent some time getting caught up. The first thing to notice is how much the artwork in the series has improved over time. The second thing to note is how many good characters are in this series.
Antimony finds herself in a strange school, facilitated by a large crab. Her friends include the wolf Renard, a robot named Robot, and a shadow creature named Shadow. She is a sort of fairy type creature (or has fairy tendencies anyway). The story is mainly the boarding school coming of age type story. There is young love and the trials of having distant parents.
It's all quite sweet and reminds me a bit of anime storylines. The art is really good, and the characters have some nice depth to them. I'll be spending more time in the Gunnerkrigg Court.
