Anders Love's Maria is not your average webcomic. Created by Rene Engström, it tells a complete story that I will in no way reveal. While the translation to English is not always perfect, there were very few times when it was not readable, and it was worth the effort to understand it in any case. This graphic novel no longer updates, as the story is finished, but if you want a really good read, I highly recommend giving it a try. He is making it into a fleshworld book, which I for one am going to pick up as soon as its done.
The art style in Anders Love Maria is rather unique, and probably actually has a name and following and history and all that jazz, but I don't know much about art so I couldn't really tell you that. What I can tell you is that the art-style makes the story even more engaging, and draws you into a world that is very similar to ours, but just different enough.
While trying not to give away any spoilers, I can say that the story is highly mature, real life scenario based, and funny in surprising and unexpected ways. The story jumps around a bit from place to place and time to time, but remains followable. If you do go and read this all in one go, don't be surprised to be sniffling at the sudden ending. Lots of thanks go out to Ray for introducing this one to me.
