It maybe empty but it's full of potential!

I've been enjoying the heck out of Gunnerkrigg Court. I like Questionable Content but its far too slice of life for me. Gunnerkrigg Court on the other hand is a charming urban fantasy about Antimony Carver, a precocious little girl sent to live and study in Gunnerkrigg Court. It's immediately apparent that Gunnerkrigg Court is not your usual boarding school.

Gunnerkrigg Court has robots, ghosts, guides, trickster gods, mystical woods, big bad wolves and Mysterious Beings. What's not to like?

Although this comic is better appreciated when read from the beginning. Gunnerkrigg Court does take three or four chapters before it finds its feet and when it does, I'm left grinning. The continuity is fabulous and the mystery about the court and the woods are intriguing that I find myself wishing for more backstory while wishing for more adventures with Antimony and her friends.
