Today’s Webcomic: Clique Refresh by @amytfalcone

Rating: Teens and up (contains swearing) Genre: Slice-of-life Started in: 2014 Status: Updates sporadically

I’ve read through countless different comics that deal with fantastical conflicts, but sometimes, it’s nice to remember the one more personal conflict we all deal with: real life. 

Clique Refresh follows Ellie after she has just moved into a new home all by herself, and her attempts to grow up and be independent. 

The thing that makes it stand out, however, is that Ellie’s closest friends are all people she knows from online. Part of the comic is about her daily life in the real world, and the other part follows her time with her friends in a new MMO called Ether Ruin.

This comic struck a huge cord with me. Ellie’s story is one I believe lots of people in my generation will relate to; the desire to become a better person and being supported by people one may not have even physically met.

In the real life or game sections of the comic, the interactions are utterly charming, the art is delightfully stylish, and Ellie’s journey will almost certainly hit close to home for many. 

Your friends are waiting, so hurry up and log into Clique Refresh! 

So the first comic I’m going to publicly read through is going to be Clique Refresh.

It is written and drawn by Amy T. Falcone and colored by Mary Cagle. I am Familiar with Falcone through Strip Search(a reality webseries about webcomic artists from Penny Arcade) as well as appearing in Abby Howard’s Junior Science Power Hour. Mary Cagle has her own cute comic Let’s Speak English. From what i know about the comic is that its about a young woman becoming an adult and also playing a video game.

Both comics are a lot newer than I thought.

So I found this great new webcomic called Clique Refresh and it is the most adorable thing. Seriously I'm not normally someone who says "this is super cute" but this is super cute.

It's got some charming characters with great designs and the art is just wonderful. It's about a girl who moves to a new town, far away from everyone she knew, and she's addicted to online gaming. It's still very new so you can catch up with it in a matter of minutes (I read it all in like fifteen minutes, take the time, you'll thank me).

Seriously, look at how cute these designs are.
