A Modest Destiny

Being at home for Easter Break and not having access to Adobe Illustrator, we'll have to postpone wrapping up the comic.  So, instead, I wanted to take this opportunity to discuss my favorite comic of all-time, be it comic strip, webcomic, or comic book, in order to give it a bit of exposure.

A Modest Destiny begins as a video-game inspired adventure comic, with elements of humor and suspense playing major roles.  Its primary story arc ran every day for a year, spanning 300+ comics.  It has since gone on into 3 other "chapters", with the story taking on darker undertones and subject matter while maintaining its simplistic yet endearing look and humorous aspects.

This website was responsible for inspiring me to launch my Great Limitations project back in the day.  It truly is one of the most captivating stories out there.  And some of the side projects on the site (such as "The Starship Destiny") are also good reads.

So, if you're bored this Easter break, take some time to get into this wonderful story that has had a major impact on some of my own comic-creating life.

I'd post a picture of one of the comics but the owner of the site is pretty particular about copyright rules, so I do not want to infringe upon his rights.

  1. Read the first one and it's pretty funny. I'll have to check out more of them when I get time.

  2. Every day for a year? That guy must have locked himself up every day to get that much done! That is insane. It seems insane to me that a whole team could get one book done a week, or once a month even!
