I‘m not really a huge webcomic person.  You might even say I’m a webcomic noob.  I think I just always forget to keep track of them.  Sometimes I pop by my favorites or check the more popular ones to see what they’re up to.  But I can go months without seeing a webcomic unless someone sends me a link to an especially funny strip. 

On the other hand, I sometimes get the urge to just check out random comics.  I’ll just browse around until I find one I really like.  If I like the most recent five or so strips, I’ll go right back to the first one and sometimes read through a year’s worth of comics in one sitting. 

Most of the really good webcomics are quite well known.  I like Dinosaur Comics and Dr. McNinja amongst others but I wouldn’t bother posting about them because they are so popular already. 

But a couple of weeks ago, I was in my mode of hitting up random webcomics.  In this instance, I was just clicking stuff at random on a website called Webcomics Nation.  To be honest, most of the stuff I clicked on was pretty terrible.  At first, I thought Demon Planet fit right into that category.  The art didn’t look like much - just somewhat rough drawings on paper that were scanned into a computer.  But when I looked more carefully, I realized the style of those drawings was pretty cool.
