There have been a couple of threads about webcomics here, and a few thread on the general greatness of Achewood in the conversation, but since I'm interested in a specific aspect of this I thought it'd probably fit better here...
Basically, I'm interested what people think of all the subsidiary 'products' of Achewood and, to a lesser extent, Wigu -in the former, one of the characters has an advice column, he and nine others have blogs -as does the comic's author (in which he talks about his life with the characters...) Wigu is a comic in its own right, but the author also has a blog comic, Overcompensating, which occasionally crosses over into Wigu, so to get the full plot you need to read them both.
Anyway, I never really minded this when I was a student and had time to check all of the above, but now that I'm not and don't I feel like I'm missing out slightly on some things in the comics -the achewood blogs are mostly, but not totally, self-contained. So what do you think? Should a comic be able to stand alone, or do all of these different aspects actually make reading 'around' the main strip better? (and, incidentally, has anyone read the achewood strips on Serialiser? as they're another aspect of the comic, but one you have to pay for.) |
