Ashley Poston is favorite around here so when she recommended Let’s Play, I knew I had to check it out. Web comics have exploded across the years, from fan fiction to original stories to creators using it as a tool to build their own platforms in the industry. Check, Please! started as a web comic!

Let’s Play is 60+ episodes in and still going but I tell you what – I am in LOVE! The series is billed as romance (which, of course) but it’s also an excellent look at gaming culture and women in comp sci and there’s the cutest dog. If you love enemies to lovers, neighbors to lovers, or the best depictions of emotions, this is the comic for you! As for art, bright colors against sharp outlines make this appealing for fans of artists like Kris Anka and Babs Tarr.

PS: there’s a dream scene in episode 14 that used color and space to convey a very specific emotion and it made my heart increase. SO GOOD.
