A story of wombats and gods
By Ursula Vernon
Genre / themes: Gods, demons, wombats, saving the world. Culture clash. Anthromorphic animals.
Art level: Very good. Black and white.
Star Rating: 5/5
Number of Books: Three so far, still ongoing.
Other notes: Webcomic, but moves too slowly page by page to follow as it updates. Artist creates fascinating art and has also published children's books. Definitely a series that Pratchett lovers will enjoy (the author is a fan and it shows).
My Review
Ursula Vernon is an artist who takes the unusual out the other site - her quirky illustrations (such as the 'lolwut' biting pear of Salamanca) are famous on the internet. Digger is her Discworld-esque, thoughtful, dark webcomic about a wombat who ends up roped into a quest to destroy a living god, and is very practical about it.
Much, much better in book format, as its pages move too slowly for a webcomic, this book is entirely black and white inside.
Three books published so far...
