Webcomic Review and Recommendation: The only half Saga

Alright people! You're probably thinking that i've done a review on this webcomic before, and you're right if that is what you thought. The truth is, during the server move of my webcomic peizcomix, something happened to the blog and I was unable to access the original blog after the big move. So i'm gonna start from scratch and pick back up from where I started back at the old blog. That means if you remember me doing a review for a certain webcomic in the past, it will without a doubt, show up here, because I never forget a good read :].

About The Creator

Anyway, here is a little bit about the The Only Half Saga, as well as the creator of this awesome web comic. Firstly, this webcomic just so happens to belong to a good friend of mine that goes by the name of Denise Randall *Aka Darwin* over at Drunkduck. I describe her as a very passionate artist and writer who great at setting the mood in the story. Darwin is also the author of the webcomics known as GemutationsPlague  and the all new series which I recently discovered just a few days ago, Not Ready To Die.  (I'm actually really looking forward to that one, hehe.)

If you read my old blog, you probably remember me and my little rant about this particular webcomic not being featured soon enough. Well awesomely enough, since I wrote that post, The Only Half Saga was finally featured on Drunkduck. It's about time, huh? All I can say is that this webcomic was every bit worthy of a site feature. Might I add that Denise as well as the webcomic was featured over at The Villains Corner mid this year which is another great accomplishment she's seen thus far. Well anyway, I should probably move on to the story.

About the Story

The Only Half Saga is a compilation of stories that revolve around the life of a young (He's not young at all, he just looks it!) dhampir named Cabal(half vampire, half human). The story focuses on the many struggles that Cabal has to face in his life, including his apparent hatred for his father, Renate, for abandoning his mother during her pregnancy. He ultimately was forced to kill his mother at her will when he was very young, due to her uncontrollably violent and insane mindset (hell, she even tried to kill Cabal at some point!)

So Cabal literally sets out for centuries, desperately in search of his father, in order to avenge his mother misfortunate end. Cabal has pretty much made up his mind to go out and kill this guy whenever he sees him! Little does he know what obstacles lay ahead of him during his one-man mission!

The Only Half Saga updates several times a month on Drunkduck.com and is rated M due to some mature subject matters.

My Take

I'd hate to spoil too much in this one post (Because I read the bulk of it so far) but this is still one of the most interesting webcomics i've read so far on the net. I've been following the original comic known as just Only Half for several years, it was actually one of the first webcomics i'd been introduced since I first joined DD many many years ago. Only within the past year or so has the entire only Half series been converted to the saga it is now, which I think was a smart move on Darwin's part.  Readers can now read the entire Only Half series at only one url.

Anyway, this is a read that I would recommend to anyone who's looking for something a bit different from the regular webcomic. You can check it out here, it's definitely not a sleeper. Enjoy :]!
