A runaway girl, her dead best friend, and a group of genetically altered creatures try to survive in Earth’s distant future.

Messenger is a sci-fi / fantasy style webcomic which tells the stories of survivors in a post-apocalyptic world populated with warring tribes, curious angels, and genetically engineered lifeforms, that updates at least once a week, drawn by Bug. In general, there is some violence and occasional swearing, so if you’re unsure about reading it might be best to ask your parents if it’s okay.

The story follows multiple characters simultaneously, alternating chapter by chapter. I know this can be a little confusing at times, but it’ll all make sense later, I swear. It takes place well into Earth’s future, at an unknown date, in an unknown series of locations.

What’s a webcomic?
A webcomic is basically a comic book that’s available online. They can be in strip format (like in the newspaper), pages (like a graphic novel), or almost any other size or format imaginable. Some even include photos and animation. Most webcomics are available for free (like Messenger) but sometimes creators will charge a fee to read their work. There are literally thousands of webcomics, featuring all kinds of stories. If you’re unsure about what you’d like to read, you might try starting at a directory like OnlineComics.net, The Webcomic List, or TopWebComics, all of which feature tons of webcomics from every genre, length, format, and style.
