Why I Read: Bata Neart

Posted by Delta-v / in Blog / 19 comments

Hi, everybody. It’s Delta-v again and I’ve got a new webcomic for you, but this one’s different, different. I’d heard of “Magical Girl” stories before, but since I’m neither magical, nor a girl, I sort of ignored them.

Then I read this really great Magical Girl parody (still reading, actually-it isn’t over), and I wondered if I’d been missing something, so I read a few that took themselves seriously, but alas, I’m still not the right demographic. However, when I saw an ad about an Irish Magical Girl story, I decided to see what the Irish were up to Magical Girl-wise.

There were some of the expected memes and themes-really cute girl who’s kind of a loner (check) with a really cute friend who’s kind of eccentric (check), girls school, or the like (check), an antagonist (check), a magical staff that can and has killed hundreds of people (chec…wait, what?). Okay, this is different. Author and artist Mark Egan liked the idea, so let’s go see what Bata Neart is all about.

Hi, everybody . Delta-v is back with another webcomic that I’ve been following for a while. It’s the story of a castaway, but with a twist, which, as you know, is something I look for. Co-creators Gina Trujillo and Sonya Gonzales gave me permission, so let’s explore The Lost Island of the Na-Rune-Tok.
