Welcome to webcomic reviews with Decoy Elite, today’s webcoimc: Errant Story.

                Alright, Errant story is one of my favorite webcomics, so forgive me if I sound a bit fanboyish during this review. First off, the art for Errant story is good, it’s really good when you compare it to your average webcomic and comic fans should be pleased with art. The story’s opening is very dramatic, but leaves the reader asking for answers (which are later answered but the comic takes it’s time to give them). The comic’s real story begins as it introduces the main character, who is a bit likable, although your mileage may vary with her. The story is set up and one by one the main cast is introduced as the plot moves forward at a moderate speed. After a while the comic does get a tad complicated and it seems to bring up more questions than answers, this can do one of two things, 1. Keep the reader interested (which is what it did to me) or 2. Anger the reader with its confusion.  

                Character wise, the comic is hit or miss in most cases. You could find yourself liking a character or hating them. The characters are vastly different, although most share a sarcastic attitude, so be ready for that. For me, the best thing about Errant Story is its balance. In my Dominic Deegan review I complained about how the comic fluctuated from funny to depressing, I find this to be a real problem that Errant Story creates a cure for. The story is quite funny, with some great jokes, but it still has a serious feel. You know that if a character dies, they’re dead, but you also know that there will be plenty of jokes along the way. Plot wise, Errant story is a little cluttered, there’s a lot of stuff going on and it may become a problem for readers to sort it all out. That said, people who are used to keeping the cannon of people like Marvel and DC strait, shouldn’t have too much of a problem figuring this one out.

Overall, I really liked Errant Story, for me it’s a 5 out of 5, but I’m not so arrogant to assume everyone will follow my tastes, and I have a feeling most would give it a 4 out of 5. Still Errant Story is a great webcomic and I highly recommend it.

Note: Errant Story features some foul language and sexual humor.
