Digger - A wombat. A dead god. A very peculiar epic.

[samvara]

Digger by Ursula Vernon. Graphic novel and web-comic. Digger is a wombat who ends up in very different world, far from home which she handles with gorgeous wombattish pragmatism. The plot is a mix of heroic quest and slightly creepy whimsy, I love the variety of female characters and the humour. The art relies on lots of blacks, has great atmosphere and is good at conveying emotion. maharetr has the first three books and was giving me one every time I finished another assignment. After I finished book three she gave me the webcomic link and I caught up - loved it, will follow the continuing adventures with enthusiasm.

I *love* Digger. Been reading it for aaages now and am sad that it seems to be drawing slowly towards a close.

I may have to actually buy the books at some point.

Hurrah, a fellow enthusiast!

I'm loving the humour and the weirdness, it was a great pick and I'm really glad I've had a chance to enjoy it.

Also loving Digger. Even the sad bits. It may be coming towards completion point, but I suspect still a lot of good stuff before we get there. Btw I may have extra copy of Liaden chapbook available when it comes out after February - interested?

[samvara]

Yay! I am kinda glad I came in towards the end - whenever that may be.

Liaden chapbook - absolutely!

and thank you :)

Not a problem. I was getting one for me, but it was the same postage if I got 1, 2 or 3, so I got 3 as there's a few Liaden Universe fans that I know around here.
