RECOMMENDED: THE PLUS — new webcomic
My good friend James Lyle has a new webcomic called “The Plus”, a wacky superhero crime comic in the vein of The Spirit. (You can tell from the first page where he’s getting a lot of his inspiration for this character and the style of storytelling.)
The Plus has a “plus power” that allows him to grow or shrink “from the size of a house to the size of a mouse”, and the villains of the story seem to have been affected by the same “plus virus” that gave him his powers.
I have no idea where the series is heading. This first episode is just that, an episode — so this may be a series of short stories, and I like that possiblity. It sets up the characters and settings nicely, and the story itself gives off a nice “Emperor’s New Clothes” vibe, with a nice little social commentary to boot. I also don’t know what kind of update schedule James has planned. It looks like he’s planning to put up complete stories as he does them, so when chapter two goes live, we’ll announce it here.
You can read the first chapter of The Plus here.
