Yeah, it's not the greatest thing in the universe, but I've become hooked on Spinerette. Sure, it's not very well written, but it's a hilarious yet loving parody of comic book superheroes (that manages to get in a few digs at manga as well), and the characters are simply adorable. Anyway, recently...


OMG, Spinny finally defeated a major villain! By herself!

And, uh, killed him. Dead. With thermite. Didn't see that coming.

At first it seemed out of character, but then again her girlfriend did try to kill herself on a vengeance quest against that guy. In that context, killing him was probably the only way to keep her girlfriend alive (who ironically is dying anyway*). So yeah, proud for Spinny, but sad at the same time.


* Spinny's girlfriend is dying of ALS. A dying, lesbian superhero with ALS. You don't see that in comics too often, do you?



While I do think the comic is cute, it really doesn't deserve a whole thread by itself, so if you wanna talk about Spinerette, great. If you want to talk about a recent plot development in a different webcomic you happen to follow, knock yourself out, although please use the HIDE tag for sensitive bits out of deference to anyone who might be inspired to read any of these comics.
