ROMANTICALLY APOCALYPTIC
Hello my loyal subjects! Welcome back to the horrible bottom of this clearly unstable hell and greetings back to “At The Bottom of The Pit”. Yes I know it has been long and many of you ain’t followers yet, but my point is that today I am back in full glory and majesty[1] and I am here to bring you the latest Crown Jewel[2] in webcomic works. If you didn’t read the title I’ll tell you again: Romantically Apocalyptic!
JUST GET HERE!
This great comic was created by Vitaly S Alexius, http://alexiuss.deviantart.com/ ,a great photoshop artist who uses this tool combined with live actors (and dead ones) and footage to make this incredible stories of a post apocalyptic future. Is notable how the comic has a great sensation of fluidity of movement and a great sensation of detail, specially noticed in the quite expressive main characters, who despite having their faces constantly covered, pour great personalities thank to the great detail put in the movements and mask design, making having less face a big plus.
The story focuses on the post apocalyptic world where the glorious ZEE CAPTAIN lives and rules with an iron fist and a meringue brain over his incredibly loyal and quite mentally unbalanced soldiers. Zee Captain is more of a child/mentally ill soldier trapped in a fantasy world inside his head while navigating the cruel mutated world around him, is easy to love his cheery personality and his naïve and “lively” way to see the world. Despite what has been previously mentioned it has been shown that Captain can display incredible skills as a strategist and more than enough intelligence and cruelty it is unclear if he really understands any danger he falls in (most probably being a fantasy in steroids for his brain). Is stated that Captain is actually radioactive or covered in heavy radiation, possesses great emphatic skills and owns the only non-radioactive straw left in the world.
OBEY!
The support cast consists mostly of two characters although one of them is clearly more relevant than the other. The first one and most important is Sniper (aka Mr. Yippy), a hyper responsible kind of second in command who follows Captain wherever he goes and does whatever the Captain tells him to do; is unclear why does Sniper follows and protects Captain, with two reasons given for that: the first is stated in the musical video in the site that he may be just a loyal soldier while in the comic is hinted that he doesn’t want to be alone and could be desperate to keep company and the potential sanity attached to it. Sniper is usually used as a butt joke and comic relief in which his dignity is destroyed by Captain perception and consequential use of reality.
The second main support character is Pilot, a less known character also loyal to Captain. It doesn’t appear too much in the comic and has only been seen interacting with Captain, a dead guy, radioactive spiders and a stuffed puffin doll. It may seem that Pilot shares the same reality perception as Captain and his meringue status mind, but seems to lack the luck of Captain, although even in true danger he remains as “perceptive” as usual. He seems to look up to Captain and really enjoy his company.
Ain't he cute?
Romantically Apocalyptic is quite a modern jewel in the webcomic world, displaying creative stories and jokes with huge amounts of comedy and badassery involved. Is curious that this webcomic possess a characteristic that makes it unique[3] which is that each character (living or dead) interacts in perfect harmony in this potentially fictional world making them interesting in both dialogue and presence in the pages, no character is wasted or used as background; every one you see will probably die or suffer under Captain happy go lucky, destructive personality.
NOW GO READ THIS NOW!
