Webcomics: Saint’s Way (Blackwatch Extra)

July 7, 2011 by Hannibal Tabu Leave a Comment

Komplicated's Senior Media Correspondent often wanders the Internet in search for anything interesting. This is one such time.

Found in a Project Wonderful sidebar ad on Mike Horton's charming Battlepug, Saint's Way is a graphic novel in progress in the very early stages of establishing itself and its characters. Not wanting to spoil the process of discovery for any readers, what made this new webcomic fascinating to this correspondent was the image in the ad link.

It was a beautiful black woman dressed in a white and gold costume, flying.

Curious yet?

Saint's Way, according to the About section of the website, is written and drawn by Yasmin Liang, a student from Hong Kong, studying at Parsons the New School of Design towards a BFA in Illustration.

This correspondent for one is interested to see what happens next with these two very human superheroes.
