If you're looking for something different, fancy the work of Hergé etc. or mystery/adventure stories in general, this is for you. It's rather reminiscent of Tintin, not just because of the drawing style but also in terms of characters and plot elements. Despite this, it doesn't feel like a rip-off, just a rather gripping, jolly read.
Bear in mind that it's updated irregularly (every couple of weeks, by the looks of it) and now might be a bad time to start reading as it is currently hanging off a huge cliff. Then again, you might be more disciplined than I and not read it in one go as I did. ;o)

I did read up to 190ish but then there seemed to be a hiatus for.... at least 6 or so weeks and that was some months back, so ... yes. variable updating but quite cool.

It's up to 203 now.
Someone needs to pay him to do it full time. I want to read it all!

Bookmarked! I have a fondness for that sort of Herge style, but ironically, I prefer to read in big doses or paper form, so sporadic reading works for me. (Getting hold of a paper published version would be even better.)

According to the FAQ, there's going to be a collected printed edition when all three parts are out (it's not long til the end of part 2).
Yeah, I've read it in two lumps, last night and today, because I couldn't stop and now I'm frustrated that I'll have to wait for ages for next strips. I think I'll just leave it in my bookmarks bar and come back to it now and then.

Looks good, thanks! Are you familiar with the even more Tintin-esque Jonny Crossbones?

You shouldn't show me these things when I'm at work, you know? ;o)
Thanks!
