If you’re looking for a cinematic webcomic reading experience, look no further than…

This Week’s Spotlight: Adrift by Paige McIntosh

Updates: Periodically (multiple pages 1 - 2 a month) Recommended if you liked: 6 cm/s, The Last of Us, When The Wind Blows (James Patterson), The Cat Returns, Countdown to Countdown

Adrift by @hobermenart follows Anne, a girl with wings, who is trying to find out who she is and where she came from. With the help of her best friend Holiday, she sets out to find her origins.

Reading this story is an experience that begins with the framing of the panels on the website. Paige has created a background of ivy and bars that centres the the single panel pages. Once the reader is effectively grounded in the story, you begin to flip through each page: giving the effect that if you clicked fast enough you could almost get an animated “flipbook.”

This style makes the pacing and detail-oriented nature of the comic stand out. Each moment is giving the timing it deserves. Paige establishes in the very first panels that this isn’t a webcomic that shies away from taking its time. The movement of a drop of water is spread out over multiple pages, slowly moving into a narrower focus on an important icon. Adrift makes you aware of the passing of time, in the same way that Anne must feel with not being able to remember her past. By slowing the story down, the reader hones in on what is important, gently guided by the storytelling.

The artwork itself is also incredible to look at: environments, whether urban or natural, are drawn in intricate detail. The main characters have appearances that are at once fantastical and human-like. The loose brush strokes work together in a way that looks effortless (though we’re sure it takes a lot of effort!)

Oh, and we definitely love the facial expressions!

totall y forgot about this lmfao but this is Clark, a fan character for @trackalaka‘s sanity circus. Flugelhorn instruman. He’s a flippant, stubborn butt that plays his dumb horn 24/7 and doesn’t like talking too much.
