[Webcomic] Ava's Demon Review

Avas Demon puts its readers into a majestic world unlike anyother. I was up all night reading more than 1,000 pages of it, and I must say it is possibly one of the best webcomics I've ever read. Ava's Demon is the story of a 15 year old girl living in 2031, where she is tormented by a ghost only she can see. Only 37 pages into the story, a conversation between 2 primary characters is interupted as a 'Silent Scavenger', a robot that salvages planets then destroys them, tears down a wall with it's giant claw. Ava, the protagonist, escapes onto one of the 2 character's ships, where they fly away before the planet is destroyed. At the 61 page mark, the author created a wonderful animation that is elegant and features some fantastic music by 'Elsiane'. To see some of her work, click here. While I won't spoil anything beyond that, I will say the story manages to capture the audience quite easily, and it gets you hooked in chapter 2. Each update on (Mondays and Thursdays) features 10 new panels to explore, instead of a page. At somepoints, you can even switch back and forth (Using the arrow keys) to show intersting animations. The story escalates at just the right pace, while it might slow down every once in a while, it gets back up and keep being great. There are very few plot conveinences, and I have yet to find a hole in the story. One very good part of Ava's Demon is that it's constantly being updated as the comic is the author's full time job, AND

the story has already been completed, it just needs to be written. The author, Michell Czajkowski, makes you love hate, and pity the characters in the story, just as if they were real. I haven't seen a comic like that since Unlife. But that dosen't mean the comic is without flaws. I find the characters to be slightly 'ragdoll like', simply going where the author wants them to go, but she still gives them a cause to do so, even if it is not a good one. I give Ava's Demon a 9.5/10. It's definetly up on my favorite comics list, and I can't wait to see where ava goes next.
