''Forming'' is a [[GenreBusting surreal fantasy/sci-fi/comedy]] webcomic written and illustrated by Jesse Moynihan of AdventureTime fame. Beginning with the arrival of AncientAstronauts on prehistoric Earth, the story follows along as gods, men and aliens all become involved in an epic struggle with cosmic implications. Orchestrating things behind the scenes is Lucifer (aka the Adversary), who has been scheming to escape the planet ever since being trapped there by the ArchangelMichael, as punishment for successfully escaping the infinite manifestation of God (aka Ain Soph, the Absolute) at the dawn of time and creating the universe as we now know it.

The art and writing draws from the influence of Creator/AlejandroJodorowsky, JackKirby, [[EpicPoem epic poetry]], {{alchemy}}, the occult and ProgRock, leading to a hefty dosage of MindScrew. The style is largely SophisticatedAsHell; despite the subject matter of religion, intergalactic empires, ancient history, and complex symbolism, it makes use of frequent sexual and scatological humor, and the dialogue is filled with slang and profanity. Nonetheless the narrative showcases [[ShownTheirWork an extensive knowledge of ancient and obscure mythology and mysticism,]] among other subjects.
