New Sci-fi/Fantasy Series Seeking Similar Reads

[HGohwell]

Wow lots of great recs coming out of this. And so many great and varied styles everyone has.

@keii4ii Broken definitely looks right up my street, darker themes and psychological stuff is definitely a plus. Thank you!
@stnmaren A vampire story that's different is definitely great! And wow the designs and style are amazing.
Definitely going to have to worked through both of these.

@Lucca_Vendramel Definitely interesting. The style's not really my thing, but I'm definitely curious enough about the story to stick with it.

@Cavechan Gotta start as you mean to continue, you know? At least there are enough signs that anyone not ready for a shower scene can back out (and I will take any excuse to draw Damien topless, my precious freckly child). Thank you! And also thank you! I actually read through yours a little while back before I joined the site and couldn't refind it because I couldn't remember the name. You screentone work is so lovely.

@ghostieblu Gosh your character designs are super cute. Your style reminds me something super nostalgic I can't quite put my finger on and the lighting is super nice. I'm really interested to see where it goes.

Thank you everyone for your recommendations. If anyone else has any others feel free to drop them in.

Congrats on starting your comic!

I recently started a dark fantasy comic. Dunno if it's 'modern' enough but there's some morally ambiguous main characters and spicy action scenes to come.

@Samuraiflame Thank you! It looks interesting! I do love some angels and demons and morally ambiguous is always a nice slant to take with a story lots of the main stream seems a little afraid of at times. Definitely interested. What I generally mean by more modern is "not another LOTR or GOT please" which actually doesn't seem to be as much of a problem here as it is in other parts of the internet.

Whoa. Shower scene as a starting point??? What would the pearl clutching momma's say?! ...okay I can't talk. We have a dude [REDACTED] then [REDACTED] only to be [REDACTED] and [REDACTED] just to add insult to injury. Welcome to the Scandalizing Pearl Clutching Momma's Club! xD

You're welcome to check out our comic. While Military doesn't show up in the same kinda way, I think you'd get a kick out of the resident underdog militia we have called the Razors. All sooorts of fun stuff there! If you like Mad Max:Fury Road, Batman Beyond and legit adorable father/daughter bonding I think you'll enjoy this.

Your comic does sound pretty interesting, I'm not a big fan of romance but every other single element seems right up my alley so if they're strong enough, I'll probably stick around.

My own comic is Sci-fi, (really) vaguely militar and focused on character relationships (but not romantic), so I'd say it's similar enough, take a look if you're interested.

Ohh yeah, they're cat people, forgot to mention that XD

[HGohwell]

@Kamikaze Haha well, any excuse to scandalize. But I only join clubs if we have matching jackets.

Well, after promising an intro like that I had to go check it out instantly and can I just say WOW. Poor kid did not deserve that. I was not expecting that I thought... WOW! You're so cruel (and an author over my own heart, subbed and I will be binging this very soon). Thank you for the rec!

[HGohwell]

@GalacticPotato Thanks! I hope everything else is strong enough. I love a good romantic subplot, as long as it stay subplot and doesn't get in the way of plot (unless its romance genre ofc) so hopefully gonna avoid that. Most of my couples are actually pretty established so it's not the flirting falling in love getting together kinda romance here anyway. In fact Eric and Isaak have been together for coming on 6 years at this point and I think that helps avoid romantic melodrama getting in the way of the plot. And I'm also a huge fan of friendships being as important as romance so there's lots of that. (wow sorry for the ramble)

Thanks for the rec. I was a bit put off by the bright colours right at the start but I'm glad I pushed on and gave it a chance. The style isn't quite my thing but it's not going to get in the way (and wow I adore Harry). Definitely going to keep reading.

[GalacticPotato]

Thanks for giving it a try, just don't feel obligated to like it.
I'll read your thing either way and remember, you don't owe me anything for subscribing to your comic.
That said, thanks if you do keep on reading it, and i hope you enjoy it :3

[HGohwell]

I've never been the kind who swaps false positives. And I'm definitely the type who puts substance over style. Your comic hits enough positive interesting story points to have my attention, even if the style isn't quite my jam. I've definitely enjoyed what I've read so far.

[GalacticPotato]

That's good to know, thanks again and i'll stop now to not spam here anymore

I don't read much military themed story or Scifi myself.

Here is a Sci-Fi cyber story I read about digitized beings, virus, and creation goes wrong:

The Cyber Compendium | Tapas

My story itself is a low-fantasy about undeads and undying grudge. Not sure it is what you want.

Thank you

Military stuff in a setting that blends scifi and magic? Take a look at my comic!

@kainatarma Not everything's for everyone, of course.

I always try to stay on the softer side of military (the reason I always point out it's only mildly military so no one gets their hopes up for accurate highly military stuff) and scifi. Going into the harder side of the genre ends up a bit niche and isolating people, the softer side is a lot more relateable (and has less people telling you you're being inaccurate haha).

Thanks everyone for the recommendations. I'll definitely check them all out.

[Kamikaze]

Hella THRILLED that you enjoyed what you saw!!! Please feel free to comment as you see fit. We love chatting with our readers.

Congrats the on the debut! Weirdly enough "healthy relationships" sounds very fresh in comparison to a lot of stuff in the romance genre these days XD

I have a high fantasy comic of my own, it takes place in a world where people are aware that gods exist (and not dependent on faith) and it focuses on the characters facilitating the connection between the divine and mortal worlds.

Thanks! Haha, I get what you mean. I'm sure they're out there but they do seem comparatively rare. And when you do find them they seem to go too far the other way and do the really unrealistic "perfect" relationship where no one has any issues and never even disagrees that just comes off as unrealistic and fake.

Sounds cool, I'll definitely check it out. I always find it interesting how gods that exist and everyone knows is real and how they interact. It's the sort of complex world building that I love (it's in the background of The 1st Rule but the gods aren't the focus) sounds like the sorta thing I'll enjoy.

[akitku]

It sounds really interesting! I love the title and the promo image! I will definitely be checking it out!
I would be honored if you would check out mine too (no pressure though): https://tapas.io/series/The-Change-

[LWriter]

Well, you're in luck! My comic is a sci-fi with heavy fantasy roots, and this first chapter is entirely about a character in a futuristic military force lol I'd say check it out, and the animated series as well ^^

Frontier-0 Origins | Tapas

[HGohwell]

Thanks for the new recommendations! And I hope you enjoy mine if you read. Both look super interesting where they are right now. Subbed both.
