I've found a gem.
Its called "Jack"
its a webcomic that is a must to read.
I cant leak any info about it. Start from this link and dont stop, I've been reading for hours...
Check it out, and post your reviews after reading a good bit. I want to share this with you all. JACK
Trust me it will be worth the read. Be forwarned all you minors it has very adult situations. Be forwarned all you minors it has very adult situations.

Ok for you looky loo's who probably havent gotten addicted or read into it or ran off cause its a "furrie" thing.. Im going to do a little plot on the main character.
Jack is Wrath. Jack is the Sin Wrath, he is basically the grim reaper. Jack's punishment for the crimes he commited in life is to never know why he is Wrath, to have no knowledge of who he was. But to constantly witness innocence lost. Jack wants to find out who he is. In the beggining Jack has to take the life of an unborn baby, but the baby is being born at the time of death I believe. Born Innocent and Ignorant the baby has no place to go, heaven and hell can not take him. So Jack lets him be with his mother, in hell. Since the boy is free from hells pains because of his innocence nothing in hell can hurt him. Jack kinda watches over him.
Its a bunch of short stories about people who die, and meet jack. Just like we will all one day meet Jack.

If you read through the whole thing (like i did past couple days) its a trip. I mean it plays off a bunch of different human emotions.
I believe that the artist uses animals because it is easier to see a rabbit die than a human. I really enjoy every bit of this comic.

I did look straight away RT, but it was a bit surreal at first. I can see that its quite good though actually, deceptively so.

| | Some of it is rather harsh, and I have to skip over it. It is over all very good though.I think I am a fan, but I can't read it at work, I would get in trouble if I got busted..so I have to read it at home, but I intend to read it all

I've read Jack up until last month's cartoons. It has been a riveting read, being both disturbing, moving and meaningful all at once. The undercurrents in his work can be rather deceiving, and I feel that the random acts of violence in the cartoon makes a statement about the dark things which lurk in all of men's souls. That is, after all, what Hell is about in this cartoon. This is about what goes on in our hearts and minds...
I like it tremendously. It is not for the squeamish, nor for those who cannot bear things wrapped in dark packages. The message is there for all to see, through his artwork and story, but I would caution those of lighter bent and mood to proceed carefully. It certainly isn't for children, and is very adult in orientation. If you can handle traveling to the depths of the psyche, then Jack is for you. If such a journey disturbs you too deeply, then I suggest not reading.
Thanks, Thug, for sharing this. I appreciate it greatly.

Seriously though, it's a good comic. A tad disjointed and surreal, but good.

I finished the lot of that comic the other day, and I gotta admit, I was stunned senseless. It took me two days, and I found that I was really excited to get back home to read the rest.
I really don't know what to say...
