There are some webcomics I stop reading becasue I have to-I'm out of archive, it's past my bedtime, my computer's got a case of the gremlins or what have you, and there are some webcomics that I stop reading because I want to- The characters are unlikeable and I feel alienated/depressed/offended by the story. This is one of the latter. The culture's Blue And Orange Morality rubs me the wrong way and the majority of characters feel like Black Mage without the longsuffering attitude, incompetence, and Bumbling Sidekick that makes him funny (and indeed, at all tolerable), or get traumatized and/or killed horribly. A big chunk of it feels like Avatar without the charm, namely that bit near the end where the humans get fed up and try to beat the aliens smug blue faces in (it didn't quite work, but at least they just didn't just bend down and take it like drowtales' humans do). I have to admit, the artwork's of phenominal quality, but that's hardly a reason to read the comic when I'm hoping for the setting to spontaneously implode.
A resounding "ugh".
