Grundy’s Pick of the Week: Romantically Apocalyptic

Surreal, bizarre, and beautiful are the three words that came to mind when I set out to write this week’s pick of the webcomic Romantically Apocalyptic. It is the chronicle of the Captain, an absent-minded boss of various henchmen who may have played a part in the cause of the post-apocalyptic future they now reside. At times, it’s funny. At times, it’s touching. At times, it’s disturbing.

Most of all, I love the art. The use of digitally painted real actors is a refreshing change from the hand-drawn monotony of the comic world. If you are going to start reading, start from the beginning. The story is strange enough without trying to pick it up from the middle.
