The Epic of Cuchulainn --- Webcomic
http://cuchulainn.oghme.com/post/p.001
Been reading this comic this morning, which I'm quite impressed by in some ways and totally not impressed in others.
The art history angle is good. They use correct references (i.e. battersea shield). The artist knows thier Celtic art-- which is great. They also put a nice American Indian spin on it with the uber use of crow feathers and other dead animal decorations, giving it that wild-lime-paste-hair look expected of any true Celtic warrior.
What I don't like: the site is way too visually busy and detracts from the comic pages themselves. There is just toooooooo much stuff packed around it... too much flashing stuff too. Enough to make me go into a Pokemon-flashing seizure.
I hope the artist doesnt go into burnout, as the real story of Cuchulainn is very long. Already the first scene of a simple head chopping, takes some four pages to complete. That could have been packed into one single page-- but hey.... who am I to talk? (She who has a single story arch in 260 some pages). Like my comic, it will take four or five years to complete the whole story at the rate it's going.
Over all, I recommend.
