Footloose

A problem many fantasy webcomics suffer from is the mundanity of the fantasy environment. All too often fantasy worlds are often depicted as much like reality, but with monsters and things that go bump-in-the-night added to spice things up a bit. As such, the surreal potential behind fantasy is often ignored. While the fantasy comic Footloose has hinted at the surreal aspect of its environment (with croissant trees being one of my favorite elements), it is the visuals of the Emerald City which helps drive home the alien aspects of Faerie. This is one city where Dread Cthulhu would likely feel at home… and is a testament to the wild imagination of co-creators Emily Brady and Ally Nuttall.
