Riceboy

One of the most interesting comics I have read all semester, and the first web comic I have read. The comic starts off with a surreal feel to it, the characters stylized and the environments, everything is simple too. I mean simple because the pages were very easy to read and to understand the characters. Each character had its own personalities and yes like most comics all characters do but these had very distinct and noticeable ones. They are all dramatic and with there vague conversations. The main character is The Rice boy who is suppose to accomplish a prophecy, there doesn’t seem to be much more detail about it beyond that.

I was very impressed with the artwork, and especially the harmonization with the colors on all of the pages. The artist really knows his color theory or has a knack for it. The simplistic shapes with the characters and environments is very satisfying to the eye, the artist also puts just enough detail into each one. For example the T.O.E. his head seems to be a computer or tv monitor, and always has a new picture on the screen. These could mean something but that’s the sort of detail that I am talking about.

Great story and incredibly addictive, I can see why this web comic has such a huge following.
