Please take some time to check out the random webcomic of the current page load! PLEASE BE AWARE OF HEAVY CONSTRUCTION!
This is just cool beyond all reason; The comic seems to just be wordless panels...but as you mouse over them a block of text appears telling you the story. This is an excellent and interactive approach to comics and writing, completely cutting out the possibly of the dreaded 'wall-of-text' story comic.

The atmosphere of HERO is like that of a vivid dream. Thoughtful and beautifully painted, it achieves intellectual and emotional depth without coming off as snobbish or melodramatic. The format of the textual aspect (narration presented in alt text) gives the author space to develop the narrator/protagonist's voice while still allowing the reader to appreciate her artwork in full. HERO can seem slower-paced and less obviously humor-based than many webcomics, but initial impressions are deceptive: even in the midst of desperate danger, the narration deliberately imparts a reflective air to the situation, and the author is inclined to insert dabs of dry humor in unexpected places. Similarly, HERO is an unexpected pearl in the enormous ocean of amateur webcomickery; this reviewer would and does recommend it to anyone who can appreciate a beautiful story.
