I have to recommend the art on this comic. It is beautifully done while still unabashedly cartooney, and I love all the bright colors. However the main reason this comic stands out from others is how girly it is. I read plenty of comics by women and have seen spot-on women characters, but no other comic simply depicts everyday life in college the way this one does. Things like staying up all night with your roommates, meeting the cute guys at parties, or just getting up and going to classes. It very effectively serves the purpose of making the characters seem more real and drawing you unsuspectingly into the plot. It was also interesting to read the author's previous works and blog and learn about her interest in Greek mythology, which makes clearer the threads of the larger story which are being woven into the start of the comic. Anyway, she apparently goes to school in Maryland, and even went to SPX which I had to miss again this year, so yay local talent!
