Although Zara is the titular character, the mercenary Killerkind (a good fighter with some character flaws) is the one who steals the show here. Not to mention likable art (reminiscent of older Euro-comics, maybe?) and a straightforward writing style. The comic is set up as a fantasy but ends up being a quirky series of mini-adventures with a twist of farce and dark humor.

Abby Sanders, Lawyer to the Supernatural. That's what she is; No problem too small, too strange, too freaky, too spooky! If you're a spook and you're in trouble, no matter the charges, Abby will get you off. No Win, no fee! Or is that only for compensation claims...? I forget. It doesn't matter, Abby is the best lawyer in town, all the ghouls and assorted fire demons agree.
This stylish black and white comic strip is written and illustrated by our very own and much loved Skoolmunkee. Read Abby Sanders Lawyer to the Supernatural, Rated E!

Bardo, Shiyu, and Dwyer- Old-young scamps with some complex technology and one bad haircut. On Devil's night, the boys are scrambling around a strange landscape of multi-era ruins, mischieviously enganging in a sort of large-scale reverse vandalism. This one is fantastically unique, confident, and hard to describe at the same time. Engaging art with some impressive ruin-scapes and a story that hooks you with its puzzles. The Assemblers only recently started updating again, so it's getting featured before any more chances are lost!

Light Apprentice Nate is for those who like their fantasy fast and funny. Nate is an energetic blue-haired kid who is determined to have adventures, even if that means angering an artistically talented orc and having fights in the town square. Lots of action and lovely colors, many little jokes, and mostly just fun to read!

Rien is a lonely young fellow, talented in swords and magic but lacking in the achievement and ambition departments. Instead of building a real life (which may be deliberate), he's befriended the village children and teaches them about what's outside their little sphere... not that he's experienced it himself. Things are about to change for him though- he's only marginally accepted by the village, and all it takes is for something to go a little wrong. A traditional fantasy setting, but focused on an individual nobody's story rather than a big political/war epic.

Three friends since childhood, sharing the same living space... Three different guys and the silly things they get up to. Juvies is a good strong humour comic about 3 childhood friends- Scott the level headed leader, T.J the ladies man, and Roger the slacker. It's not deep, it's not complicated, it's just good funny stuff with good quality, solid colourful artwork!
Written and drawn by Jarred Cramer, AKA Juvenile_Jay

This newspost is delicious but it is filling!
 NOVEMBER 22, 2009 - 12:46pm
A new DD member interview! This one is conducted by ifelldownthestairs, a champion of a man, who always is happy to help out around the house and fill in for folks when slack needs to be picked up (as was the case here, as taradaga's original partner vamoosed). Also he always comes up with great questions! Anyway, ifelldownthestairs interviews taradaga of Good Taste - and I must say she gets props from me for mentioning two of my favorite comics. :] Ni hao ma, taradaga?
QUOTE:
1. I read in Good Taste's about section that you live in China. How is it there? Was learning the language as daunting as they say? Also, any particular reason why China?
I actually moved back home to Canada in July, so I suppose I have to update my about section! I really loved China a lot and would recommend it to anyone. The people are, for the most part, super friendly, and the country is amazing. A lot of beautiful things to see.
The language is also very beautiful but I didn't learn as much of it as I wanted. This was partly because of the priorities I had when moving there, which was living on my own in another country, and working on my creative projects. I learned enough to get by, but I also cheated a lot because one of my best friends there was fluent in the language. I think I know more than I think I do, though.
I moved to China as a foreign teacher, teaching children. China was recommended to me as a good place to go when you are just starting out as a foreign teacher. That, and I'm a huge fan of Avatar: The Last Airbender. (Ridiculous though it sounds!)
Don't forget we have three interviews posted last week just waiting to be read and commented on!
JustNoPoint interviews gullas of Bobby the Fetus!
Evil_Hare interviews Chernobog of Arachnid Goddess!
Chernobog interviews Evil_Hare of Jake the Evil Hare!
Speaking of interviews, JustNoPoint is looking for people who want to get involved with a new interview project. Essentially, this group of people would be organized around the idea of interviewing those people whose comics get featured. The more (reliable!) people, the less often everyone does one- so 4 people would get to do one every other week. These would be shorter than the current DD member interviews (5-10 questions), will give the featured comics a little more spotlight, and get the interviews some positive community attention! (But you still don't get to find out who's going to be featured ahead of time.)
And the related tangent (of community projects) is Drunk Duck Secret Santa 2009! Organized by BlkKnight, you've got til December 4th to sign yourself up to participate in the giving-and-receiving tradition of fanart. :] This is always good fun (deadbeats from previous years not allowed!) and is a lovely way to to show somebody that even if you didn't know them before, you still care!
dueeast is announcing a contest!
dueeast Said: I've decided to have a contest to determine the cover for Mighty Dreadful Multi-Colored Shapeshifting Warriors, Season 2! By now, the comic is far enough along that, once you read this single issue (19 pages so far), you will know the story and all the characters.
Requirements are at this page! (including the email address to send submissions)
Deadline is Sunday December 13th and I will announce the winner that week. 
Today, All Saints by Dave7 and JSCervini hits the 75 page mark!
Prototype announces that the "dirty" comic Busty Solar has reached 100 pages! "That is 100 pages of bad jokes and potentially naughty stuff." Sounds like a party. :]
Kemono Densetsu by Inoshishi has reached a nice round 100 pages!
At 200 pages is Brogan's Arctic Blast! Brogan Said: Oh, and I put some of the older storylines into video format on YouTube as well just to try something different with the strip. 
kyupol's MAG-ISA is at 300 pages!
On Friday, grin-n-spirit by ghostrunner reached a big ol' 600 pages!
