Live up to your Namesake

Names have power, and nowhere else more than in the world of the comic Namesake.

Follow the adventures of Emma Crewe and her sister Elaine as they partner with the Wicked Witches of the East and West, a slew of Cheshire cats, and every hero from Alice to Wendy as they confront the stuff of Fairytales.

I am a huge fan of this strip. It has a decidedly sideways take on literature and l have no idea how they are going to resolve it. The artwork is quite beautiful and the heroines diverse.

It's just finished a Kickstarter for collected paperback / hardback books of the strips.

I love the art but didn't read it for a few months and found navigating the archives difficult, so I'm so glad I will have a finally have a pdf with the strips in the correct order.

Oh, i'm loving this. Reading on phone is proving uncomfortable, but it's going to be well worth the cost of buying the ebooks, I can tell that much already. Thanks for this post, Deoridhe.
