Here it is finally, Earthsong. Sorry its late But I've been pretty busy this week.

Anyway, I'll put some info her when I can as I haven't got much time left now. But The story is well kind of hard to explain when I can't think correctly so i'lll just be quiet now...

Stonefish and the poison thing that lives in a shell

It's about time someone recomended Earthsong... I was really expecting Stevenson to do so, but this is good, too!

So it's about this neat purple girl, Willow. She found herself on the planet of Earthsong with no memory of who she was or what she was doing there. Which... sounds kind of cliche when you put it that way, but it's really not! The characters are all really interesting, too, and the art's darned good. Even in the original version. Lady Yates decided to redo it anyway, so now we're in the middle of one of those nasty reduxes... but it's significantly different this time around, so it's ok!

I don't know if I have any favorite pages - I'm so disgustingly happy and friendly today that I love them all! (Felucca is epic win)
"Irregardless" and "Over exaggerated" are NEVER CORRECT EVER because they are redundant
Regardless means "without regard", and adding "ir" on the front actually makes it a double negative; exaggerate means "to overstate" so you're literally saying "over overstate."
Example: I can not exaggerate the importance of this fact enough, regardless of how often people ignore it.

As previously mentioned I have a lousy time picking favorite pages in serious comics. That aside, I've read through all of the redux comics and I like it. The art is very high and it's got a rather interesting story, although a touch predictable at times. I would like to see some more characters, since there's so few in Haven and all, but I guess that'll come with time.

Alright, finally a day off work! I just finished this comic and I love it! The artwork is great, the story is unique, and it definitely has me excited for the next strip. My favourite strips so far are this and this one. Gotta love angry fairies! :pepsi:
