Webcomics
Several of my favorite webcomics are just bringing it, right now.
In Freefall, the Gardener in the Dark arc seems to be moving towards a climax; Kornada is on the verge of unleashing the program, and Florence and Sam are racing to stop him. The great thing is that Sam's, um, unique talents seem every bit as necessary as Florence's.
In Questionable Content, the fallout of the hookup between Marten (the eternal shlimazl) and Padma (soon to leave for California) is funnier than it has any right to be. Marten's got himself tied up in ridiculous emotional knots, and I'm loving it.
In Girl Genius, Agatha has openly claimed her birthright; the castle is repaired, the Doom Bell has rung, and the Jaegers are returning to their old allegiance. Meanwhile, Gil's out there having a grand old time blowing stuff up, and the unfortunate Tarvek appears to have been captured by Olaf and his sister.... (Aside: I don't believe for a minute that Klaus is dead. If he were, the whole plotline involving the multiple Lucrezias and the slaver wasp would be rendered pointless.)
But it's Sinfest that's absolutely on fire. You've got Fuchsia's defection (and that event, and Blue's reaction when she realized what had happened, were beautifully handled); you've got Monique's consciousness-raising experience; and you've got the plotline with Clementine and Li'l E, which could go in any direction whatsoever. (After reading today's strip, I have to wonder whether the Big D knows about Fuchsia. I mean, Criminy's right there in front of him.) (Second thought: Fuchsia is presumably looking for Criminy. Right now would be exactly the wrong time to find him.)
Good times, good times.
