Webcomic Week Day 1

Considering that this site has mainly been about anime and music, I thought I'd add more content.  Thus  "Webcomic Week" is born.  Everyday this week, starting today of course, I will talk about a webcomic that I read.  Each comic will come with links, posted on the side soon.  Today I will be talking about Happle Tea and Hanna Is Not A Boy's Name.
First off is Happle Tea which is loosely based off of various aspects of mythology from around the world.  From God in cat form to Sasquatch to Ilmarinen and the forging of the Sampo, the author Scott Maynard covers many things.  There really is no plot to the comic, so if that's your thing, this is a great comic and lots of fun.  It's also pretty informative and has decent art.  Happle Tea updates on Tuesdays and Fridays with pretty good consistency.  So be sure to check that out if you are into that kinda thing.
Next is Hanna Is Not A Boy's Name which is about a 24 year old guy named Hanna and his zombie sidekick who deal in paranormal investigations.  Out of all of the comics I read, this is the most recent one I've read; I started yesterday, yet is definitely one of my favorites.  The art is very good and clean with a very modern American comic look.  Also zombies, vampires, werewolves, and the sort are always a plus when done this well.  I also like the way the author, Tessa Stone, lets the zombie sidekick do the narrating.  Having a zombie narrator is quite novel and he makes the comic quite fun when contrasted with Hanna's craziness.  The main downside of this comic is that it does not update regularly like the rest of the comics I will be posting.  However, the art is good enough that I don't care.  Anyways if you're into crazy art and zombies/vampires, this is definitely a comic for you.  Until summer anime season ends, expect more random posts like this and I hope you find these two comics as enjoyable as I do.
