Biff Bam Pow Comics

I’m sat here, listening to a little music, thinking about Atland by Nate Piekos, and my tiny little brain is hung up on a question. “What can I say about Atland to point out how good it is?”

Those of you who will have read Nate’s work will already know that it’s a pretty tough question to answer. Atland isn’t quite comedy, isn’t quite serious, isn’t quite fantasy, and isn’t quite a comic-strip…

What it is however, is a bloody good whatever it is.

In my (humble) opinion, Nate is quite simply one of the best artists in web comics today. His work always seems ‘fresh’, his characters always exciting, and his scenes stealing the best lessons from Marvel’s ‘how to’ guide.

And along with this - Nate also has managed to pull off a pretty compelling storyline. Compelling enough to make me read 191 strips in one sitting, and come back for the latest strip this evening.

But I haven’t even begun to tell you what Atland is about.

The comic revolves around Barry the Brave, Bruce the Minotaur and ‘Inky’ McGuiness, who travel across Atland to help Lily White fulfill her final mission as last Priestess to the Love Goddess, Ria. Along the way, they come across some of Atland’s more oddbeat residents, and learn about life (and the secrets of their companions) along the road.

And you know, if that doesn’t really ’sell’ it to you - my words aren’t doing it any justice. Click here to visit Atland - and see how good it is for yourself…
