Comics are a vast and technical form of media, with a rich and surprising history. It is a form of narrative art that is somewhere between film, animation and the written word, and can tell incredible stories. From immense and joyful/emotional series like One Piece, to critically acclaimed, transgressive and harrowing works such as MAUS, to pervasive cultural figures like Garfield and Snoopy with their roots in a simple newspaper strips, the expansive spectrum of subject matter and style makes this a truly wonderful form of art for creatives.

None of which have necessarily reached the enormity and cultural standing of Homestuck.

The origins for multimillion dollar intellectual property like that of Marvel or DC, the comics industry is often one that, on a number of occasions, has led to huge Hollywood productions, but it is in the private hands of lesser known artists that the power of this medium often blossoms the most brightly.
