    Default Re: Who Wotches the Wotchmen?: A Webcomic Let's Read of The Wotch

    I'm on again off again with it. Everyone has half a dozen "check in with it when I think of it, but don't really bother bookmarking it" comics. This is one of mine. Sometimes the scenarios are interesting but it gets formulaic after awhile, and when the focus becomes purely on the transformations instead of plot it starts to suck.

    I wouldn't call the plot coherent and I think the people putting this together overestimated their ability to really run an epic arc. The level of angst exhibited by the main characters who really haven't lost anything yet also gets annoying at times. Anne's little magical temper tantrum as a most recent exhibit of the phenomenon.

    Also I happen to think that what happened to Ivan is a Class A sharkjump.

    That said it has this habit of plodding along, lame, dull as usual, and then without warning suddenly catch you with something you didn't expect and either crack you up or make you empthaize somehow.

    I wouldn't call it a great comic, but it's a decent enough time sink I suppose, and worth the occasional check-in.
