smcwalters 's review for:
Digger, Volume One
by Ursula Vernon
Ursula Vernon has won several awards for the art of her comic, "Digger." She uses shadow and light beautifully, in a story that's--well, actually all about shadow and light.
Vernon's writing is smart and witty, and it's pretty clear she's been a gamer at some point in her life.
Digger is a stubborn, hardworking, sarcastic, intelligent, er...wombat who loses her way underground, digging herself further and further from the familiar earth of home and into a dangerously unfamiliar world where she finds herself taking advice from a living statue of Ganesh, becoming part of a barbaric tribe of hyenas, and taking under her wing a naive young shadow creature who is capable of horrific things, but is constantly asking child-like questions about right and wrong.
Meanwhile, evil things begin stirring far below in the earth, and Digger determines that, while she's searching for a way home, she might as well get to the bottom of these dangerous and seemingly magic events in a logical and levelheaded way.
Because that's what wombats *do*.
