DS 663: Keinani and Mo’O

What would you do if you were stranded on a deserted island? What if you were hot? What if a large lizard were also there? Doug Compton attempts to answer these questions, all with a cheeky, horny sense of humor in Keinani and Mo’O. Though we could do without some of the guest stars (it started in 2017, so He Who Shall Be Shamed makes several appearances), the comic is almost always a party and one you’ll want to be invited to.

DS 662: Soul to Call

If you think about it, an apocalypse would probably breed a lot of emo angst into younger people. That’s what Katherine Lang’s Soul to Call posits, and Avril and Eli represent different facets of one emo soul. It’s not until an older authority figure comes in that the guys feel they can connect with a character. So it goes in a story intended for YA audiences, but one you should definitely see and read for yourself.

DS 661: The Pirate Checklist

It’s the pirate life for me, yes ’tis! Sailin’ with my buddies across the blue sky, enjoyin’ some ale, and singin’ some tunes, that’s the pirate life for Alynne and Gruff, with not a care in the world about the other, more sordid details that the life of a true scoundrel contains. The Pirate Checklist is Ashley Reed’s optimistically cute take on a lifestyle that seems to be all fun and games and this comic is often just that. Set sail and for god’s sake, don’t kill anyone!
