I present Alien Dice!

Chel (Main character) Leads a normal life (what ever that is). Untill an Alien (Lexx) shows up at her home looking for her kitten who was tranformed by a Aline Dice into a kitten-like creature with 2 tails.
Lexx is taking part in an intergalactical game known as Alien Dice. Where the go to different planets, release a set of dice that latch onto animals of that planet and transform them, and then they run around catch the dice using other dice. Since Lexx can't move on without the kitten and Chel refuses to le him just take her, Lexx is forced to take Chel with him since she gave him no other choice.

I have lots of favorite strips but I can be bothered to look through the archives for them right now.

Darn, now I can't use this one... If that didn't tip you off, I've read Alien Dice. In fact, I've been following it for quite a long time. I'll post when thoughts another day (kind of tired right now) and see if I can find some of my favorite strips in the meantime.

I've read this too. But there are so many pages I like, it's hard to pick a few.

This is pretty good. I didn't get to read too much of it, but it's really interesting. The art looks like it's been drawn by a beginer, but taking a look at later pages tells me that it will improve.

I did get confused at the begining, but I can follow the story alright. I don't have any links though, I'll try to find them before the thread locks.

Can't believe I forgot to type up a full response sooner... Anyway, this will stay open for one more week before the next comic.

So, Alien Dice. As previously mentioned, I've been reading it for a long time. It's got a little bit of a Pokémon feel to it though the dice catching becomes a bit less of a focus later on when other parts of the plot start moving. The story isn't bad and the characters are all pretty good. The art, while decent, does occasionally feature some rather odd looking anatomical issues though, even in more recent strips. Overall, it's a pretty golid comic with a nice, though not amazing, story and good characters.

I haven't read much of this, but I kind of find it annoying because there are parts left out in the comic itself that you should read the story below to understand, and I feel like the story should be put on top. But so far, it's a good read, and I plan on finishing it... Some other time. Not much time in STEP for webcomics...

The combination of comic and text is rather unusual. Usually you won't miss anything too important if you ignore the text, but it does expand on what happens in the comic itself.

Yeah, the whole text thing is new to me too. I'll read it occasionally when I don't understand what happened in the comic, or I think something's missing. You think she first planned to make this a written book?

So far so good for me, it's a good comic. But the one thing that caught my eye was some of the backgrounds, and some panels with the ship, where it looks like stuff's been created digitally with some kind of 3D program. Anyone know what program she used to make that?

Good comic. I like the story. Nice and sci-fi. Stealth/Mittens is awesome. I like the art and the character designs. And Zeta. So Zetta cool.

The written version... bothers me though. For some reason I can't stand reading it. The writing style is just... meh.

Lexx is also annoying. Freaking Draco in Leather Pants Emo Kid. And right from the beginning, I'm pretty sure we're supposed to be sympathetic of him when he starts complaining about how he hates the rain and the mud and everything? Yeah, um, you're breaking into a girl's house and stealing her cat. You'll have to forgive me for not caring.

Good comic overall though.
