New Comics of the Week

Posted on 12/01/2025 by Jasmine

Hi everyone!

It’s been a hectic beginning of the year thanks to work so I’m glad to post an update here. I’ve been missing working on my comic lately so I’ll be working on the next page soon! I miss the days when I would create a new page every week as I love seeing the story progress. My new job has taken a toll on me during the first week back after the Christmas holidays, it adds to me wondering if it’s even worth it. I’ve been feeling that a lot more lately. In my heart no it isn’t, but I’m holding on for the family. I worry plans will change out of my control despite me ‘knowing’ what’s coming.

Alongside this, I’ve diverged a little from my original PhD proposal as I experimented with new ideas and it left my supervisors a little confused. I am hoping I can turn this back around and I am confident I can. Just means more writing, meh!

On a positive note, I’m delighted to share the new Comics of the Week from SpiderForest so please visit and have a read if you haven’t already. I am hoping to come back with more positive news in my next update 😀

Indomitable Spirits

In a post apocalypse it takes extra strength of will to make it through. These stories are full of just those kinds of people.

All Legends Die – Cabal has fought against Death before and one, but eventually the bill must come due.

LOSTLAND – LOSTLAND is a supernatural, post-apoc adventure story following the tales of four travelers and the little twists of fate that bind them both to each other, and to one man’s grand design for this new world. Prepare for crazy humor, intense action, and a touch of mystery, all rolled into a world that changes all who travel through it.

Pneuma Vita – A post-apocalyptic story about love.

Welcome 2025

Here we are in the new year. There are a lot of things I’m ~~dreading~~ expecting to happen this year but I am also looking forward to a lot of things! The longer days, how my studies are going to play out, etc. There are also a couple of things I want to get back into, like fishing and bushcraft, and I am excited for new possibilities (like remote working and a better financial situation). So many positives coming my way.

The geopolitical situation is what I am watching most closely with wary eyes. It no doubt is going to escalate but there’s nothing we can do about it. It’s best to stick to the things can keep you happy and hopeful for the future. So in the meantime, SpiderForest have started their Comics of the Week! That’s something most exciting so please have a read below:

Seek and Ye Shall Find

We all seek something… and in our attempt we often find, but not always what it was at the outset.

The Quest of Casey Tailor – The Quest of Casey Tailor is about a kid trying to save his baby sister who was kidnapped by a fairy, he has no idea why though and when he runs into problems at the royal palace seemingly there are more questions then answers.

Clover and Cutlass – The daughter of an orc warlord falls for a girl her family wants dead. If they can’t stop her parents from ending the world, how’s she ever gonna ask her out?

Prophet of the Sun – Prophet of the Sun is about a selfish loser trying to dodge the consequences of making a deal with the devil.

Backtrack

Ever made a decision and regretted it? Well, that’s how I feel with my latest post. After being away from my comic for a while, I realised how much I really don’t want to leave it alone. It seems the break definitely helped rekindle my passion for it so I will be working on the next page soon.

Thank you everyone for your patience with me, it certainly has been a journey so far. The next challenge is establishing how I am going to balance my personal work, PhD work and job. I believe it is doable if I keep to the once monthly update.

Fortunately this had coincided with the final share of the new SpiderForest comics so please see below!

New Member Spotlight – Broken Places

Politics, natural disaster, or the advances of technology can make the world a harsh place to navigate. Will these characters find treasures lost to a time before disaster struck their land? Or spiral deeper into chaos along with it?

Malatona When It Rains – Despite promises over the last twenty years, the Isahek river is flooding again. When a tax collector is shot by its banks, the provincial court must respond to the rising violence. The members of the court vie for control of their crumbling empire.

Pneuma Vita – After obtaining a mysterious book about plants, Lyka discovers a medicinal plant called “Pneuma Vita” that may be able to treat her father’s worsening asthma. But it grows in the farthest region outside of the city, far beyond everything Lyka knows…

Hollow Trail – A post apocalyptic adventure webcomic following Rosario as he explores a scary and mystifying world left behind many years ago, what type of friends will he make? And what lies along these hollow trails?

Ultraviolents – A near-future gay body horror comic about two men using underground blood sports and body modification as therapy.

LOSTLAND – A supernatural, post-apoc adventure story following the tales of four travelers and the little twists of fate that bind them both to each other, and to one man’s grand design for this new world.

Update and more Comics!

Hello all!

Thank you for your patience while I’m on my break. You may have noticed that I did upload one more page since the last blog post but that was due to it being so close to done, I thought it silly to leave it. It has made me look forward to doing the next one!

I’ve had a lot more readers come to visit the website so hello and welcome everyone! It’s very nice to see 🙂 The next SpiderForest creators are now available for sharing, please see below.

New Member Spotlight – Normality and Paranormality

Normal is relative. Enjoy these comics that explore what happens when a touch of the silly, surreal, or supernatural bleeds into the lives of normal people.

The Bright Side – Emily is a prickly and reclusive teenage girl. After a couple of random tragedies, she befriends Death – who turns out to be naive, neurotic, and completely endearing. Despite being eternal, “Dee” has at least as much growing up to do as Emily does.

Monsters & Myriads – A midwestern exploration into the spooky fantastic that haunts closed arcades, moon-frosted cornfields, and shadowed school hallways. Highschoolers band together to uncover a gothic conspiracy that threatens to unravel their school, town, and world.

Prophet of the Sun – A story about a selfish loser who would rather lie to themselves and everyone around them than face discomfort. This would be ok if they weren’t also the unstable vessel of the Sun, a strange new god intent on destorying the world.

Lauren Ipsum – Lauren Ipsum is a professional librarian, part-time writer, and an intellectual culture enthusiast (nerd). Join this looney rabbit and her friends running the esteemed St. Paws Library!

The City Under Saturn – A group of mobsters slowly begin to uncover that the man they’re are working for may not be entirely human and that those contracts they signed may be more than legally binding.

The Organization of Ghost Hunters – After an encounter with a mysterious stranger, Ian Cooper discovers he’s able to see ghosts. The friendly dog spirit that follows him around isn’t so bad, but when dangerous spirits start to show up, he may need a little help.

Heart of the Storm – Tempest–a wanted pirate with no ship and no attachments–spends her time dancing around the gallows and making a mockery of the law. She takes and does as she pleases, consequences be damned. But that might all change when she saves Callisto’s life.

Yokoka’s Quest – Yokoka is a catgirl on an adventure and winging it, but what could go wrong? Right?

Entropy – Arielle is an impulsive, headstrong blacksmith’s apprentice who comes in contact with a strange magical artifact that seems connected to an otherworldly being. As she experiments with its power, she may have accidentally kickstarted the apocalypse.
