Q. What is Gunnerkrigg Court?
A. Gunnerkrigg Court is a science-fantasy webcomic drawn by artist Tom Siddell, updated Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
Q. What is it about?
A. The comic tells the story of a young girl named Antimony Carver, attending a mysterious school called Gunnerkrigg Court. It takes influence from various world mythologies, but also includes many science fiction and technological elements. Gunnerkrigg Court is an industrial setting seperated from the wild Gillitie Wood by a vast gorge.
This nature-technology dichotomy is prominent throughout the plot.
The art in the first few chapters can feel kind of awkward and amateurish,
But Tom's artistic ability soon catches up to his creative genius.
Q. Why should I be interested?
A. Because Gunnerkrigg Court is a very unique, elegant, and compelling if under-read comic.
I invite you to come check it out. It's an excellent comic, and I know you're probably bored right now anyway (What else is General Off-Topic for?) :wink.gif:
The duality of science and nature isn't something I usually enjoy, but it works very well in this setting.
Also, look for a bunch of symbolism and hidden references throughout the comic. Tom is disgustingly good at that, and I've found at least 10 places where he's added hints to other events and never pointed them out later.

Hehe I'm glad! You don't need to edit, you can post too. I don't think this thread will get as big as MLP but it doesn't hurt to have a few extra posts.

Also, I'm pretty sure Antimony is a toxic element.
Below is an actual spoiler, maybe.

She's named Antimony after the element, as used in alchemy.
Very very true.
Also, I'm glad you like the comic ;D
Heh. I've read through the whole thing twice :biggrin.gif:

Anyone else hoping for Annie + Jack? :smile.gif:
edit: chapter 2 page 14. epic reference is epic
second edit: dang, i really like this xD
Actually, Jack still vaguely creeps me out... I want Annie + Reynardine though :tongue.gif:
Oh you have NO IDEA :laugh.gif:
But didn't you see how he looks in the latest chapter? He's a dreamboat now. :tongue.gif:
I suppose...
I think we need to find someone for Kat.
I'm rooting for Kat + Muut or Kat + Robot. :biggrin.gif:

Awesome :tongue.gif:
Good to hear!
Heh, I like how he drew Equius. And no, I don't because I don't read the earth homestuck. The troll stories are much more interesting to me.
Also, my favorite character is Coyote. :3
EDIT: It was chapter 24. Now I'm on 25.
