Last year, I though I was all out of ideas for these webcomic Easter Eggs. Then, I somehow picked up a whole slew of new comics over the last six or seven months. This year’s gallery is exclusively dedicated to new favorites (except for Draconis Wicked, of course.)
The one-armed sorceress cat girl makes her Easter Egg debut. Lately, Lyric has become quite popular with some of my younger readers. Makes me wonder if I should have written her a little less murderous? Nah, that’s probably why they like her.
Tributes to Other Web Comics
Harpy and Pumpkin from Harpy Gee by Brianne Drouhard
What happens to an elf who loses her magic? Harpy decides to train as a warrior and monster-keeper. She and her pet goblin cat travel to a human village where they discover friends, adventure, secrets and more. This comic is being considered for an animated series, so be sure to checkout the animated short and show it some love.
An orphan girl/aspiring detective befriends a young paranormal investigator. Together, they fall into a strange, haunted woods where solving mysteries may be the only way to find a route back home. I’d highly recommend this one to fans of Over the Garden Wall.
A group of eccentric scientists band together in Victorian London, where finding their place in society may be more challenging than any of their experiments (though, probably less dangerous.)
The world is on the brink on an apocalypse. A young girl named Brandy may be the one who can somehow turn the tide. Luckily, she has four father figures to train and protect her. The family dynamic reminds me of a gender-swapped Steven Universe, but the story and characters are completely their own.
Yuudai Tanaka from Sakana by Madeline Rupert Jaspering
Love stories and other catastrophes take place at a fish market. Can this group of friends, enemies, and frienemies get out of their own way long enough to find some happiness? I don’t read a lot of American Manga, but Sakana has become a bold exception.
All my eggs in one basket.
No, I’m not tired of this pun yet. You shouldn’t be either.
