Powernap

[Dead Zed]

It's about a man who sleeps a lot has horrible nightmares and sees monsters. In a world where nobody sleeps.

My personal theory is that inventing a cure for sleep has caused the fabric of spacetime to thin out dramatically, allowing certain monsters which normally only show up in dreams to escape. (Or maybe I've read too much Aikonia lately.) Of course, if no-one would sleep anymore, that would solve that problem. Yipes, hope I'm wrong then, or our protagonist is in for it!

oh come on this comic really should have more views

to be perfectly honest, it's an upstart, barely has any chapters, but the storyline and (mildly inconsistent) art are both very good

I think the art is fantastic, I really can't wait for more pages. Parts of it crack me up, specifically the giant hand. You would think this would have more replies huh?

I think plainWonder's theory isn't bad, the people never sleeping has something with the apparitions, but who knows how the government is involved - that detail makes things interesting. And everyone is totally desensitized to unusual events around them and oblivious to the obvious coverups. Also the main guy appears to have been deputized to deal with monsters, not because he seemed like a good fit for the job but because no one else ever sleeps. Which is pretty funny simply because he's not the type to be good at fighting and he probably isn't playing with a full deck.

man how did I not know this thread existed? it's a pretty Great! comic, I highly recommend it!

This comic is a good comic. Most series start out slow before they really hit their stride, but so far this one has been good all the way through. I'm a teensy bit worried about these new characters though. Will the narrative collapse under their metaphysical weight?

Powernap is the best comic I've found on the internet in ages. It's already my current third place favorite behind cucumber quest (with gunnerkrigg in first as usual).
